julie c Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 how do I go about adding to my recipe? I thinking they should be dried. Any additives needed? Can I also add a bit of oatmeal? I do a 4lb batch.Thanks !! Julie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darwin Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 I used orange peel before in my Orange and Anise hand soap HP and I just bought them already dried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebecca_IA Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 You want the orange part of the peel, not the white stuff between the peel and the fruit. It needs dried 100% and then ground to a fine powder. Or you could just buy the orange peel powder.I think I used it at 1 T. per pound of oils when I added it. Honestly, I've only added it a few times and haven't for awhile, so please research the proper amount to add. It didn't provide any exfoliating effect to my finished bar.I would not add whole oats excepting on the very top of the bar. If you want to add oats, grind them up fine or buy the baby oatment. I personally use oat milk in my base and sprinkle whole oats on top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michi Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 The one and only time I tried adding citrus peel (lime, lemon & orange) to CP soap, it got all funky brown and BLACK, and turned the soap directly surrounding the peel black also, it was awful. I peeled it myself, didn't get any of the white with it, let it fully dry out also.I know Jennifer/Mountainmadness gets good results using citrus peel, so maybe PM her and ask.
