Cucumber soap help!

waychie · Jul 30, 2009

Ok, I just made some cucumber CP soap. I used cucumber as the whole liquid amount (idea is from a recipe on about.com) I buzzed and blended the beejebees out of it, but it still had tiny bits of cucumber skin in it.

My question is, will the bits cause the soap to go mouldy? Should I have not used the skin?

I'll post pics here once its been sliced up, I hope it wont go mouldy :cry:

Thanks for your help!

Nope...I've got one from months ago that's fine. Lots of people use the skin too. Got pix?

Great, thanks! I was worried this batch was going to spoil

Its all wrapped up at the moment, I'll post some piccies in the next day or two. It was meant to be a funnel swirl but it traced so quickly! :shock:

So it was just a swirly mess

I haven't soaped cucumber yet Rachel, but I agree with LJA - if the pieces are tiny then the soap (salt) molecules should be enough to preserve it all imho.
