That was simply lovely.... Thank You so much for sharing this recipe... I just have one question in mind... What is the shelf life of these soaps which are made from fruit or vegetable puree...

@SoapSchoolUK 2 года назад

Hi Nupoor, I have made loads of them in various options and none of them has gone bad if they are fully liquified and you don't add too much. I have some that are now over 4 years old

I have made cucumber soap using pureed cucumbers as the full liquid portion without any issues. Is this normally not done?

@SoapSchoolUK 2 года назад

Some people do use it as a complete swap for the water, I prefer to use less though :)

@iluminameluna 2 года назад

May I suggest that instead of planing your soap to remove the ash that's formed, you could simply wipe it off with a damp cloth or even wash the soap! It'll be shiny and clean straightaway!

@SoapSchoolUK 2 года назад

That's a great point - thank you! We often do a water bath or steam them to remove the occasional soda ash too.

@marnoch4632 Год назад

Hi! Do you substitute some of the water on soap calc for purée? Or do you add 50g purée on top on the base recipe please?

@Durpydurp4488 Год назад

This looks fantastic! Does this need a preservative?

@SoapSchoolUK Год назад

No it doesn't need if you puree thoroughly or juice

@chenoawhite0713 2 года назад

I made this soap but sadly after a week it developed brown spots. Any idea what went worng? It was inititally beautiful and I was so excited.

@SoapSchoolUK 2 года назад

Did you juice the puree enough? You need no lumps at all ideally

@chenoawhite0713 2 года назад

It was completelysmooth when I oured it. The only parts that turned brown were the skin flecks of the cucumber. I'm going to give it another try and peel the cuc this time.

@SoapSchoolUK 2 года назад

@@chenoawhite0713 That's a great idea Chenoa.

@iluminameluna 2 года назад

Were the brown spots big ones or just around the tiny bits of peel? The reason I ask is because if they were around only the tiny bits of peel, that was perfectly fine. However, if the spots were just vague and smelled badly, those were DOS, or Dreaded Orange Spots, and a sign that something either came into contact with your soap if it was only one spot, or that one or more of your oils may have been rancid, if there were more spots on more than one soap and they were not small. I hope this helped even though it's a late response.

@KarinaMD.11 Год назад

Do the active ingredients really survive the lye and saponification process?

@SoapSchoolUK Год назад

It's an interesting question. I like to think that many do as Professor K Dunn has detailed how essential oils do retain their properties in the soap.

I want to use cucumber water that I strained and froze to use in place of the water for the lye ... will this option burn the juice and stink? I've googled this to death and found no clear answers.

@SoapSchoolUK 2 года назад

I would give it a try. The main thing is to try and keep it as cold as possible. Try placing it into an ice water bath to keep the heat down even further
