ShoogieScents Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 I am wanting to make a batch of CP this weekend and use Cocoa Powder for the swirls. Do I remove part of the batch into a cup and mix the CP into that or pour the entire batch into the mold and then sprinkle CP on top and then swirl with knife/toothpick?THanks!

sudsnwicks Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 The way I do it is to remove part of the batch into another container and mix the cocoa powder into it. Then I pour the uncolored part into the mold, followed by the color part. Lastly, I take a butter knife and wiggle it around to give it the marble-ing swirled effect.

RobinInOR Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 I mix the cocoa powder in with a little oil or water to make a paste out of it (and no fair tasting it ), then add that to however much soap you want.If you mix it in dry, you'll get speckles and clumps. Which can look OK but might not be the look you're going for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrandmaArial Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Does the cocoa leave a scent? When I decided to use green tea everything i had found to read said it wouldn't but everyone reconizes the scent as soon as they smell it.
