I've read that you can't add zest to melt and pour because it will mold. But ppl seem to add it to glycerin melt and pour. Any advice?
 
Hey, I add lemon and orange zest to one of my soaps all the time, I have never had any problems! My mother -in-law loves that soap!

I am so sorry that I forgot to mention that. Thanks HMLOVE!

I only shred the very top portion of the peel. I do not take the white part under the top skin. (If that makes sense )
I however, do not let it dry because if I do so, the zest dehydrates, discolor and look becomes hard ( unless you want it for a scrubby effect in the soap) I just use it for the great look of it. However, I use a little dry rosemary and basil for the scrubby effect! :)

Good luck! Do post pictures of what you make :) and let us know how the zest works for you :)
