I made this with a citrusy scent.

Oh that's such a pretty green!

Is it one of your salt soaps? So pretty.

 

[handavaka]

SeaWolfe~ Thank You!

not_ally ~Thank you! It does have a small amount of salt, but it isn't one of the salt soaps.

Love your pretty green soap.

That's just lovely. Did you use colorants to get that green or was it from the avocado? I've used pumpkin in a naked bar and gotten a nice light orange from it.

 

[handavaka]

Thank you, Shunt2011!

 

[handavaka]

hlee...i appreciate that!

How did you get it so green? I made a sample avocado bar and it came out brownish green.

Dark green avocado can lend some green, but the avocado puree does not lend green to the soap. It will at times lend a yellowish with brown undertone. My refined avocado oil from Cibaria Soap Supply looks very much like the Pure Olive Oil from Costco. I usually use a touch of green oxide or clay in avocado soap for color.

snappyllama thank you! I used chromium green oxide, but I blended in the avocado first but wasn't happy with how subtle the green was....does pumpkin hold up well to gel phase?

scottief ~I used green oxide...

Sorry, I normally prevent gel so I don't know how it would do. The pumpkin color was a fairly light orange - like a pumpkin chiffon pie color almost.

 

[handavaka]

snappyllama~ that sounds amazing! The words Pumpkin Chiffon is a great name too!
