cucumber, melon

[justme]

I want to make cucumber melon fo soap but want to add a cucumber to it. In reading I believe the cucumber is puried and is considered part of the water for the lye. Is that correct?

question two would I add the cucumber to the oils at trace or before adding the lye? Will it discolor? if so what color?

thanks you

You can use your pureed cukes as part of the water substitute or you can add them in at trace as your nutrient. Or you can do like I do and add at both points.It should Turn out very nice that way. Happy soaping!
