Banana soap

[Nonnie]

I had a banana nut bread scent I've been wanting to try for a while. I added tothe banana theme by putting banana peel in the lye solution and banana puree in the oils. I hope to get the silk like results I've heard come from using the peel. My swirl is rather pitiful though lol.

I made a banana puree soap once and I didn't like it much - it was a bit mushy. Let me know how yours turns out.

Iwill. I only put a hair over 1 ounce of puree. That part might not do much.

That's neat! I've never heard about using the peel. Can't wait for you to post pictures of the cut!

I think the swirl looks great! Now I'm hungry for banana bread! Please do share pictures after the cut.

I had a little extra that ended up in little molds. They're so cute!

And the cut

The grasshopper (or cricket) in the lower right pic! The one above it looks like a cricket with the face of the Snow Queen from Narnia, or perhaps Sleeping Beauty.

I love your molds !
Also love the look of your cut bars. I can't wait for them to cure and you to share your feedback on the banana additives !

Be honest. You intentionally made this Rorschach test to check out our mental state

If you were to ask the average person what this image represents, they would probably say banana bread and not a soup made out of it. So, you succeeded at that

Mrs Soap and Clay did a video about using banana peels in the lye water. She raved about the silkiness of the finished soap. I've wanted to try it, but just have never gotten to it.

@Nonnie your soap is just beautiful!

Thanks! And she is actuallywhere I got the idea. I used a lot of water and clay so I will haveto let it sit a while before testing. It's still soft

I did try the banana peel in lye and to be honest noticed no difference apart from the lye turning brown
