Coconut soap snowballs – like Raffaello! :)
Last weekend I was having fun. Winter is here and I had this idea of making all coconut soap – I designed the recipe to contain:
- coconut oil
- coconut milk
- coconut scent
And poured it in hemispheric shaped silicone molds (looks like half-snowball – my molds look exactly like World Cuisine Non-Stick Silicone Mold, Hemisphere) and after unmolding, I rolled the still sticky soap in a grated coconut.
I let you judge yourself how I succeeded – image on the right – and here is the recipe!
Superfat: 5%
% oils | oz | g | ingredient |
---|---|---|---|
45.9% | 15.9 oz | 450 g | coconut oil |
44.5% | 15.4 oz | 436 g | grape-seed oil |
9.6% | 3.3 oz | 94 g | palm oil |
5.1oz | 144 g | NaOH | |
7 oz | 200 g | distilled water | |
6.4 oz | 180 g | coconut milk (1 small can) | |
0.46 oz | 13 g | coconut FO (from gracefruit.com) | |
grated coconut to sprinkle |
Instructions
1) I used the cold process method.
2) At a light trace I mixed in the coconut milk and whipped well
3) I added coconut FO and whipped until thick trace
4) Poured in molds
– part of the soap in the cupcake molds, which I sprinkled with pistachios
– part into the hemispheric molds
I did not insulate – this helped the soap to be hard, but still sticky the next day upon unmolding. This way I could sprinkle them – or rather roll around in the bowl containing grated coconut 🙂
It is so easy and looks amazing!

Hi Neta, FO stands for fragrance oil. So it is coconut fragrance oil. NaOH is always in beads (>98%), the water there is to dissolve it to make a solution. I don’t know what you mean by chemicals, I guess you mean synthetics (since everything is a chemical). No, you don’t need anything else to comercialize it, but beware of your local regulations – in US, it is easy, in EU it is difficult to make it official.

I just love these! Can’t wait to try them out. Looking to order the mold tonight!
One quick question, how did you stick the two halves together? Did they automatically stay together because they were still sticky after you unmolded them? Will there be a problem with the two halves staying together after some usage?
Thanks! ~Tami
