Cocoa powder soaps often feature a base, whether it's a melt-and-pour or a cold process type, enriched with the essence of cocoa powder. This may incorporate oils such as coconut, olive, or palm, combined with water and lye (sodium hydroxide) for the soap-making process. Glycerin contributes to moisturizing properties, and fragrance oils, like chocolate or vanilla, enhance the aroma. Additives such as honey or clay, as well as essential oils, cocoa absolute, oat powder or beeswax can modify the characteristics of the soap. A vanilla color stabilizer and brown oxide add to visual appeal.
