Seaweed in soap?

[kdaniels8811]

Does anyone put seaweed in their soap and how? I have dried seaweed and was going to make a tea and emulsify the soaked seaweed with my stick blender and use as my liquid for cold process soap. Anyone have any words of wisdom or advice to share?

I've only used kelp powder so I can't help you. However, there have been some discussions about seaweed. Here's a link to a recent one. http://www.soapmakingforum.com/showthread.php?t=36908

Also, there are some related links about seaweed if you scroll to the bottom of this page. :grin:

Thanks, Hazel, you rock! Have I asked you where you are in Ohio? Toward Cleveland, right? We are between Toledo and Sandusky...

i have made a seaweed soap about 2 weeks ago , my 1st one ever. i soak my sheets in warm olive oil , about a 1/4 or less just to cover from my total olive oil in the recipe . i hit them with my EB before adding it to my mix, at just the start of medium trace. if i had to do it again i would try use a coffee grinder or processor to get it more of a powder or uniformed look.

You're welcome but I wish I could have helped you more. I'm near Dayton. However, I'm gradually moving in a northerly direction. I used to live in Cincinnati.
