Pomelo soap

[Shellonian]

So, having read on here that lemon zest makes a nice yellow, my fifth batch of soap had to contain my favourite fruit. If anyone wants to know, yellow and green zest goes in, orange speckles come out. Looks a bit like the wensleydale cheese with apricots in! I'm hoping it will smell of it. Please excuse the terrible photo

Most botanical items, including lemon zest, will turn brown in soap due to the lye. The smell rarely survives, either. Sorry. The good news is that it will still be soap.

I' love testing & adding herbs & fruit in my HP soap. But i've discovered if I dont SB to almost non visibility its not a good look in soap as it ages & if you add to much it can go rancid in the soap, ruining it completely. I've had great luck w/ dried herbs cause I grind to a powder & its only small tiny spects in soap which hold up fantastic in soap.

Thank you for the information. It was my first real experiment because I love the stuff and hadn't seen it anywhere else. It's only for myself and my equally pomelo obsessed mum and sister. I'd read on here about lemon zest & just had to do it.
