Candybee Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 These are some fresh made facial soaps I make with fresh avocado puree, avocado & grapeseed oils. This FO, Juniper Aloe (RBB) stays fluid for a while then suddenly accelerates on me. So I have to work fast. But its worth it because they smell awesome!

Candybee Posted April 19, 2017 Author Share Posted April 19, 2017 I was just thinking the same kandlekrazy! Gonna use a similar color scheme for some salt bars with an ocean theme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have to remedy that once I get my budget back under control! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candybee Posted April 21, 2017 Author Share Posted April 21, 2017 (edited) I've been using the juniper aloe because I make aloe vera soaps and wanted an aloe type scent. This one is beautiful in CP soap! Don't think I've tried it in candles but I bet it would be awesome... spa like, upscale type! Wanted to add I started using it in my goat milk lotions and it smells awesome in lotion too! Its also a big seller in lotion. I also just started using it in liquid soap. Seems like whatever I put it in smells very nice, upscale, and spa-like! Edited April 21, 2017 by Candybee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the avocado puree ... it doesn't end up browning in soap? No. I turns the soap a lovely natural yellowish green. It doesn't discolor or morph the scent. But what it does do for the soap is add the most luscious creamy texture and lather. If you've never used an avocado soap you should make one or buy one and try it. Re the scent-- it is perfect in CP. The only problem I have is it accelerates after a couple minutes. You do have some time to work with swirls but you have to work quickly. So I usually just do something simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 So curious about this ... do you add a whole avocado or is it like a couple of tablespoons like I think pumpkin puree to soap is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted April 28, 2017 Author Share Posted April 28, 2017 I use one full avocado for 2 batches of 56oz oil recipes. Each batch makes 18 bars of soap. I use it as part of my liquid. So I deduct the weight of the avocado from my total liquid. In this case I use aloe vera juice. I used to use fresh cucumber juice from my juicer. But the cucumbers broke part of my juicer so now I just use the avocado. If you look at the cream color of the soap that is what color the avocado turns it. I forgot the natural 'green' color was when I used to combine cucumber and avocado puree to my soap. The color was really pretty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
