Hey, I make my own soap as a hobby and I’m interested in making a few bars of caffeinated soap for holiday gift-giving. I just don’t know what the method is for getting the caffeine into the soap effectively. I know where to buy pure caffeine powder, but I don’t know if I would just add it in powder form or if I need to dissolve it in some sort of solvent first. Also, does the soap need to be something minty to help open the pores? Any help is greatly appreciated.
