Abstract:
Coffee Grounds | Pumpkin Powder | Pumpkin Spice
Everybody loves coffee (says the avid tea-head that rarely drinks coffee). So, let me rephrase *clears throat* everyone loves a pumpkin spice latte. Yes, you read that correctly: this bar is inspired by the infamous PSL and is affectionately called the Basic B!tch Bar, or B.B.B. for short!
Hypothesis:
If I was going to create a super exfoliating bar, there was going to have to be an excessive amount of coffee grounds incorporated into it. I also wanted to use this pumpkin powder I had bought as an impulse buy, curious to use it in a soap! With those first two ingredients, I figured the perfect third additive would be pumpkin spice powder, to create a Pumpkin Spice Latte (PSL) type bar.
Experimental Design:
Because of the outrageous amount of coffee that was already going to be a super exfoliating bar, and I wanted to base it off of a pumpkin spice latte, I decided to add pumpkin powder into the mix. Pumpkin powder has a lot of amazing vitamins and enzymes that help detoxify and brighten skin. So not only is there a manual exfoliator from the coffee, but also a chemical exfoliator in the form of pumpkin powder. Lastly, to complete the PSL vibes, I made sure to include pumpkin spice powder (cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger).
Data & Conclusion:
This bar is VERY exfoliating. Perfect for crusty elbows, thick skin on your heels, tough grease (we've seen car repair grease be removed with ease and have heard it made light work of jet fuel compared to literally every other soap), and removing resin from skin, all without drying the skin.
You can still reap all the benefits of this bar if it sounds too aggressive for you, by using this bar inside one of our soap saver bags!
