classiccandle Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I'm assuming it's safe to add poppy seeds to M & P soap? If so what kind of poppy seeds do you add and is there a good wholesale source for them? How much do you add per pound of base?Sorry about all the questions and thanks for your answers!

mzphee Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 great question I was at my wholefood store today and I saw them and was thinking what scent would I use, how much could I use... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Yes you can add poppy seeds to M&P. They will make the soap an exfoliating soap so you may want to adjust the amount of poppy seeds to your taste or your customers taste. I would start out with 1 tsp pp on up to 1 tbs pp. The more seeds the more exfoliation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classiccandle Posted April 19, 2012 Author Share Posted April 19, 2012 Perfect! Thanks Candybee! Do you know a good wholesaler for poppy seeds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I just get them at my local health food store.I know I've seen them somewhere-- I'm thinking WSP or Brambleberry. Sorry I don't remember who carries them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 BTW-- you can also use strawberry seeds for an exfoliating soap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mzphee Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 yay awesome...Candybee what fo would you use with it, or do you use one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I don't use poppy seeds I prefer oatmeal to use as my exfoliant. But poppy seeds do remind me of my favorite poppy seed muffins. They are lemon flavored. I think a lemon type FO with poppy seeds would be awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
