Crying Moon Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Ok, I'm embarrassed to ask, but can you add say...grape juice to your water before you put the lye in? Will the sugar in it make the soap nasty?Just wondering if anyone has tried it.I'm wanting to soap some lavender, and don't have any purple coloring, and I'm raiding the kitchen trying to think of something to use.Also, how do your figure out the lye calculator if adding a funky ingredient?If anyone has tried this and it was a disaster, please tell me before I get myself in big time trouble.*getdown* Talk me off the ledge.

Gene Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Seems like I remember someone trying that, don't remember if it caused problems but, it will turn the soap a funky brown. I think?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elle110 Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 lavender would be pretty left uncolored, if you have buds sprinkle them on tops...don't know what color the juice will color it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunny Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Never tried grape, but V-8 soaps well...lolYou don't adjust your lye amount or superfat, as juice isn't a fat to be saponified. Just replace a certain portion of your water for your liquid. Percentage is up to you! Happy soaping! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
