Adding fruit at trace?

by Sammi

Hi i am quite new to soap making and i have made a few batches and now Im starting to think of my own concoctions and I was wondering what happened if you add mushed up fruit at trace/ Does it make the soap rot?

Great site by the way

Thanks

Answer:

It's not a good idea to add mushed up fruit at trace since the fruit will certainly start to rot.

If you want to add fruit and vegetable matter to soap you will need to puree it and replace a portion of the water with the puree.

Good luck,
