Dried fruit

[Samuel Ciganik]

Hi. I am wondering if I can dry/dehydrate fruit (like on photo) than ground it to powder and than us it for soap recipe. It is okay or it is not good idea. Thank you very much.

I haven't personally done that but I would be concerned about it turning brown potentially or even molding.

What were you hoping to achieve by adding it? Color? Exfoliant?

I use ground orange peel in some of my soap as an exfoliant. I buy it already dehydrated and ground up. If your fruit is not going to be an exfoliant (such as the orange peel), then what purpose would it serve?

Do you have a picture handy of what it looks like in the finished soap?

I am absolutely beginner. So I want to use my soap also as showering soap not only for hands wash when I will go eat etc. So I thought I can add some fruit and use their nutrients for skin care. If it is possible. As I said I am behinner so I need to find as much informations as is possible. I also made my first soap with grounded orange peels but cutting is not so smooth. Can it be because I used too thick wire? Thanks.
