- How it is made.
The cocoa pods (the husks) are roasted to form ash and this is then added to coconut oil. The two ingredients are pounded together and put into a pot. The mixture is then cooked and as it melts the soap begins to form at the edges of the pot. The hot soap is then put into the sun to dry and cool off. The finished product is tan in colour, is unscented and made from 100% natural ingredients.
