soulshine Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 I make a green tea soap, with tea leaves & poppy seeds. Sometimes I sub the water for cold green tea as well... HTH:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjb31apb Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 I was thinking the same thing as well because that pumpkin butter is the BOMB!!!! I wish I had more of it, but since I only have 1 pound of it, I don't want to use it in soap. I was thinking of playing with some whipped shea and throwing it in there, but Im not sure how it will work out if I melt it. I'll be watching this thread...

anabanana's candles Posted April 22, 2008 Author Share Posted April 22, 2008 I melted the green tea butter yesterday in hoped of making an emulsified body butter with it. No luck. Just soup. Had to add a ton of shea to get it to resemble lotion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjb31apb Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Ok so I don't sleep very much... I made 5 batches of soaps with all three butters. I must say that I love these butters. If I'm not careful, I will use thses all up within a week! I jad one batch overheat on me and my colors morphed! I was bummed too because that was my swap soap. Darn I guess I'll have to whip up another batch! What a hardship. Otherwise, I think I soaped one too cool and I got the shea butter dandruff effect in my "supposed to be black" soap, but it worked out ok in the end. Now I just have to check for grey bubbles. Over all, all the butters have soaped so well for me and I am really glad that I got in on this buy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
