Thanks to all that liked my soap. It is my 5th batch. First 4 were kinda yuky. I think i finally got a handel on it I mean as a newbie. hope I can now work on putting a great bar of soap together. I want a mosturizing bar. My skin is now 57 and not as it use to be. Again thank for the encouragement

They look, well down right edible !! I've been reading alot on another forum about veggie soap. Did you use just the skin or puree the whole cuke?? I think they turned out wonderful!!

:grin2:Thanks! I read about it on another forum too! So thought I would give it a try. I scraped The sead part out I did not know if the big seeds would bother my skin. Pureed it froze it thawed it out pureed it again to make sure all the fiber was broke down. filtered the water out and used it as my water and it truned brown. at trace i put in heaping tsp. of the pulp. I did not put in any fo or eos wanted to know if sent would stay. No it did not. But right now it is pretty. Time will tell the whole story.

I like the rounds too. I never make round soap; what did you use as a mold?

e

My mold is a pringles can. when the kids get the chips gone I wipe it out with a damp paper towel. I do not insulate what ever is the lining in the can and the cardboard can does good enouh. I have had it puff up on the top so i think it all most volcanoed but only an inch. and just in the middle. I only use them once. I cut the can on a angle and peel away and cut the soap.

Not my idea some one here used Pringles and i gave it a try. It works for now

JO

very very cute, are those bits of green crayon for coloring?

That is the its of cucuber skin I think. It is really soft yet.

JO

I made some Cucumber soap the other day (inspired by the fresh fruit/veggie swap ran by Flash?? I think) and I had to make some of my own.

Here are a couple pictures of the soap I just made a couple days ago.

:smiley2: I scraped out the seed part of the cuc because i wasn't sure of just that.

How did it turn out?

JO

:highfive: You go........ can't wait to see the soap porn

Jo

the bug has bit............. I have to start doing some of those

they look really great

Jo

it is just so beautiful I can not contain myself.

It's not whipped soap is it? Any ways it is amazing what some can do with soap. Just goes to prove that it is art. Dna't believe you did not sell any. If i was there i would have to have a slice.

JO

It has been 24 hr. and it is still to soft to get out of the mold. Will see about it tomorrow. thanks every one.

JO

maybe the recipe coconut 4 oz

mango 1 oz

oo 7 oz

palm 4 oz

water 6.09 oz

lye 2.27 oz

Will take pic after it is out of can. One good thing looks really nice from top of can light green with darker green flecks.

Cucumber will not turn brown if you puree it and add it at trace.

Glad too know to add after trace. Do you have to discount the water? or not. I plan on making it until I get it the way I want it. Meaning a nice bar of soap that I and others can enjoy. I looked in the can and it look like it is a little hill in the middle and its alittle cracked. I paln on giving it a little more time in the can and then take out and cut Will get my daughter to take a pic of it. She is always putting up b&b porn.

Thanks for all the help you all have been thanks. today going to up % of coco butter to 25%and see if i like it. Thanks again

JO
