Tall Blonde Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 When I made my carrot soap, I boiled some carrots, them pureed them. I mixed the lye with the water I boiled the carrots in (cooled, of course), then later added the pureed carrots. The finished soap looked kind of like spice cake.As far as moisturizing goes...I learned that soap doesn't moisturize it cleans, but good soap will not dry out your skin as much as other soaps. Does that make sense? But when I need a soap that is non-drying and good for what itches me, I just grab a bar of pure oo soap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecandlespastore Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Soap made with pureed banana or cucumber feels wonderful on the skin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 I agree on the cucumber - I got a bar of cucumber soap from a buddy and love it!!! Made the same recipe without the cuc and it was nice, but not fantastic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
