Tomato Basil Soap made with the LJA 3 Oil Recipe

[Guest]

This is the soap recipe we were talking about yesterday OO, PO and CO.
I added tomato paste , dried basil, black pepper eo , clary sage and rosemary .It lathers great for a newborn soap.

Thanks for looking

Sooo does this tomato soap leave stains?

 

[Guest]

Nope, no stains just white fluffy creamy lather

Love it, Kitn! So how does it feel? I know it'll be harsh now, but any indication? I still haven't had time to make mine...arrgh.

LJA It is a very nice soap , I washed my hands with it and did not find it harsh at all , my hands felt good. can't wait until it cures some

Artisansoaps I kind of doubt that the basil will stay green , it might though , I made a peppermint tea that stayed green. :shock:

Thank you all for your kind words

Those are lovely Kitn, the texture, the colour, the swirl!

looks cool, does the tomato have benefits, just wondered why people put food in their soap?

It is mostly for the natural color . imho

Kitn, I made mine today. Lathers like crazy and feels like it'll be pretty nice once it cures. We'll see in a month! My tomato paste heated up like crazy! I added it to the water then added the lye. Next time I think I'll add it at trace...

This may sound dense, but wondering what the soaps smell like. Do they maintain a tomato-y smell or is it purely color that is emitted in them?

I used Tomato Leaf FO, Jarvan. Sounds weird but it smells really good.

No Jarvan that is a legit question , I can smell tomato and the basil and the other eo's I put in , it smells fresh , I quite like it .

LJA , I tried it again today , OMG I am impressed for a week old soap.
