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.

hlee...i appreciate that!
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?

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.
