SoapInTheCity Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Here is the cucumber soap I have wanted to make for a long while now, after many questions and figuring out how to do it.......here it is.I used Aloe Vera Juice, cucumber water and distilled water for the liquid part of the recipe, and added at trace, some pureed cucumber with as much water I could get out of it. It is scented with Lemongrass EO. No color added. Pureed Cucumber that was added at traceCut Cucumber & Aloe Soap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carriegsxr6 Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 those are really really nice. i am glad that the cucumber didnt turn brown or anything. Adding stuff at trace really seems to be preventing that. (me writes that down in my notes) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoapInTheCity Posted August 25, 2006 Author Share Posted August 25, 2006 The liquid definately turned a yellowish brownish color when I added the lye to it, but when I added the liquid to the oils to make the soap, it luckily didn't stay brown. I added approximately 70 g of pureed cucumber at trace. I don't know if you can tell, but there are slight clear/whitish spots which I think is excess water from the cucumber puree. I'm hoping this will fade or evaporate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
