I had a banana nut bread scent I've been wanting to try for a while. I added tothe banana theme by putting banana peel in the lye solution and banana puree in the oils. I hope to get the silk like results I've heard come from using the peel. My swirl is rather pitiful though lol.

I made a banana puree soap once and I didn't like it much - it was a bit mushy. Let me know how yours turns out.
Iwill. I only put a hair over 1 ounce of puree. That part might not do much.

If you were to ask the average person what this image represents, they would probably say banana bread and not a soup made out of it. So, you succeeded at that
 
Mrs Soap and Clay did a video about using banana peels in the lye water. She raved about the silkiness of the finished soap. I've wanted to try it, but just have never gotten to it.

@Nonnie your soap is just beautiful!
Thanks! And she is actuallywhere I got the idea. I used a lot of water and clay so I will haveto let it sit a while before testing. It's still soft

I did try the banana peel in lye and to be honest noticed no difference apart from the lye turning brown
