Kombucha Soap

[ulrurunaturals]

So besides soap and lotions etc....I also make Kombucha as well. Just wondering if anyone knows where to begin on how to make Kombucha soap. Do you use the tea it'self or the Scoby. any input would be appreciated, I did some searching didn't take me long to come across a recipie. Anyone who is a Kombucha/soapmaker it would be a very beneficial way to make some of those scobys work for you in a different way.

I replied in the Kombucha thread, but I'll reply here for anyone doing a search on the topic:
I would be hesitant to use SCOBY - it doesn't grind very well in my experience (maybe you have a better method for grinding). Large chunks could leave your soap open to spoilage, much like large fruit/veggie chunks will do. While SCOBY shouldn't mold, I have had a batch grow mold, so I know it is possible when exposed to contaminants. Adding the SCOBY to soap is changing the environment, so all bets are off it would grow mold or not. I prefer to not invite nasties into my soap, so I would use actual kombucha instead of the SCOBY.
