classiccandle Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 For those of you who add walnut shell powder to your m & p soap (I've never even heard of it before today) is it better to use the fine or medium grade powder? Is there much of a difference? How much do you add per pound?Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlancaD Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Hi-,I would add a small amount of the walnut shell powder to the soap, lets say 1 tsp per pound because its does become scratchy as the soap is used ..I use the fine grade powder..it makes a great exfoliating soap, just make sure to blend in as the soap cools a little, when it thickens a little so that it disperses evenly-unless you are using a suspension base , otherwise it will sink to the bottom of molds, but that looks nice too, you can have one side exfoliating and one side plain soap..

classiccandle Posted December 7, 2011 Author Share Posted December 7, 2011 Thanks Blanca. Do you have any problems with it clumping since it is so fine or does it disperse fairly easily with say, a stick blender? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlancaD Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 I usually mix it seperately with a bit of the melted soap , then add it and mix well it disperses easier that way and doesnt clump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitn Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 I use a little frother to mix stuff into M&P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 What does the walnut shell powder do for your skin or is it only for exfoliation? Is it a soft exfoliation or gritty type? I have some customers that love a strong scrubb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitn Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 It is for exfoliation. I find the walnut very scrubby, I prefer sugar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
