blue berries

[Layne]

want to do a blue berry soap
while thinking of this was asked:
will it stain the skin once in soap?
I am sure this has been asked before
the blue berry is well known to stain
however the benefits of blue berries are great

I haven't tried it myself but I have been told actual blueberries (blueberry juice etc) turn tan in soap, not the color you would expect at all.

Yep they'll go brown.
You'd be better to get the blue from an UM or Mica IMO

 

[Layne]

just worried about the skin staining.

I made a soap using blueberry juice. Y'know when you make blueberry muffins and the blueberries come in that little tiny tin can, and you drain all that juice off? I used that juice in the soap in place of straight water.
My soap turned tan, and there is no staining at all.

ummm.....
er....

are we sure about all this?
this has got to be the weirdest tan or brown I have ever seen.

good news is that there is no staining.
yep done tried a piece, no stains.
still the oddest brown or tan ever seen though.
tossed in a small shot of bb muffin FO, smells like blue berry heaven.

not sure what ya'll did, but this is not tan.

Oh, but it will tan eventually. Or prove us wrong and post another pic in a month!
