ljhenry Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Has anyone ever added real avacado to soap? I bought one and thought I'd try it and see what would happen. But, if anyone else has already done this with bad results, I'd like to know.Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbren Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Yes...I puree the avocado and just subtract the weight from the liquid I'm using. I've done it 2 ways, stick blended into my oils and added at trace. The soap turns a pale 'olive drab' color. I also like using coconut milk with avocado.

ljhenry Posted February 24, 2009 Author Share Posted February 24, 2009 Thanks, I think I will try it this next weekend. I just tried one of my soaps that I had put some raw silk in the lye. I will be putting silk in every bar I make now. It feels just wonderful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljhenry Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share Posted February 27, 2009 Wouldn't happen to have a decent recipe for this, would you? Don't even know how much to add or what kind of fragrance to Does it leave a smell of its own? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljhenry Posted March 2, 2009 Author Share Posted March 2, 2009 Well, I made it and scented it with Ginger Pear and it smells really nice. Even the DH likes the smell. I wi;; post some pictures as soon as I get this other computer that I am working on fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarieJeanette Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Avocado is one of my favorite additives to use in CP. I add it at 1 tbsp. ppo. I make sure it's totally smooth before I add it to my oils by stickblending it on its own in a small bowl first. I like to scent mine with Green Tea & Cucumber, or Cucumber Melon- anything that goes well with the color green.MarieJeanette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
