simplyorganic Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I wanted to know if any one uses real fruits or veggies in their soaps?! You know like Strawberries, Banana's, Avacado's or Cucumbers?!If so how would you go about adding it to CPHP or CP?I want to try it since i now have the CPHP down (i'll post pics of my first try soon as i get my slicer, lol..tomorrow YEAH!!) I thought adding a little bit of something real would add more benifits. Specialy with Advacado's.....Would i need to take away a % of something since i'm adding it, or would it be added just like an additive after the trace process?! Also would i need to use something so it won't be rancid?! If so what?!Thanks a Million:p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asheebeans Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 I've heard of using cucumbers, peels and all! I think you just use a small portion of cucumber puree as your liquid. I haven't tried cucumber soap yet. Now, I use pumpkin puree every Autumn for my pumpkin soaps and they are awesome! I use a synthetic fragrance but use real pumpkin puree as a portion of my liquids and the soaps are some of the best I make! I haven't worked with avacado either, but maybe someone else will chime in on that one. :tiptoe: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbren Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 I've used cucumbers, pureed avocado, baby food carrots, carrot juice, pumpkin, tomato juice. I usually subtract the amount I'm using from the liquid for the purees. For the juices I just use the juice for 100% of my liquid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
