mixing ground herb with EO

[Raha]

Dear Soap Makers,
Has anyone ever mixed (liquid) EO with (powder) herb to make a paste. The paste would then be added into the soap batter. This avoids the who clumpling powder into balls that you have to stir a lot longer to get out making the soap like thick pudding by the time you get them all.

So...have you tried it?

Let me know

I have not tried it with the EO, but I do mix with some of my base oil. Same with other powders.

So, you mix the herb powder before you mix in the lye? And that doesn't change the color of the herb?
Thank you Carebear!
