Hello there, I have a customer who commissioned me to make her a custom remembrance soap for her brother who passed of COVID-19. She wants me to add the dried blue and white peony petals from his peony bushes to the top of the soap. I have read somewhere that you can add the dried petals with 90% isopropyl alcohol after the bars have cured 4-6 weeks, and another soapmaker told me this as well. My concern is twofold: 1) the petals falling off the soap, but most importantly 2) the soap and petals turning brown.
Please advise, thank you!
