Cucumber, Tea Tree, Peppermint and Eucalyptus

[busymakinsoap!]

I had some spare time to experiment the other day. This is my first ever attempt at using cucumber

I used Parsley for colour - but added it fresh rather than dried, so it will be interesting to see if the green colour sticks? (it's a lot brighter in real life)

They look so wonderful... earthy and fresh.

Lovely soap.

The smell sounds yummie and the look is a lovely natural one.

I have heaps of parsley in my garden ... I'd never thought to use it as a colourant ... will have to research that sometime.

Did you just puree it in there? It looks really nice!

Thanks everyone

Karan - apparently parsley is one of the few herbs that retains it's colour in CP soap, but I think it's ment to be dried

Yes I just used my stick blender to make a slush, added a bit of water and added it to the lye. Was pretty easy to do.

I never make soap like this, so was quite exciting to try. I might do yogurt and some type of berry next
