Poppy Seeds for a Gardener Soap (UPDATED)

[Sue Bear]

I am making a Gardener Soap with poppy seeds. How much poppy seed should I add to a 2.5 lb. oil batch?

*UPDATE* Here's my finished soap.

* BUMP *

I know good and damn well there is someone on here that has added poppy seeds to their soap.

I've used 1.5t ppo, and seems too little.

Next time, I'll try a little more and likely add another layer of scrubbiness (like sugar or loofah or something).

Now I at least know where to start. Thank you.

Anyone else?

OK, never mind. I am going to add a 1/2 cup and see how it goes.

To avoid confusions, by "t" I meant teaspoons. Over 1 Tablespoon seems quite daring.

Also, quite interesting, they seem to pack more punch in a harder bar of soap.

Would you share your rock hard bar recipe? DH likes HARD bars so I am always looking to make the bars harder.

No sorry, no can do on the recipe. What I can tell you is that I use high amounts of hard oils/butter and sodium Lactate.

I use about a tablespoon PPO. If it doesn't look like enough, I add a bit more.
