Fruit juice soap

by Tiffany
(Philippines)

How many soaps can be made from your given recipe- homemade recipe?

Is it okay if I use an orange juice and pineapple juice as an alternative for water, (or just 1/3 of it)?

Answer

My soaps make approximately 10 - 110 to 150 gram bars.

I've never added orange juice or pineapple juice to a recipe before so I'm not sure what the results will be.

I would suggest making a small test batch to start and use the 1/3 amount. If that goes well then try adding more juice.

Much of soap making is about experimentation. That's half the fun...seeing what you can come up with. Just remember to always do your experiments on a small scale so you don't lose too much of your ingrendients. Also remember to take lots and lots of notes.

Good luck,
Cathy

I've added orange juice and carrot juices before. Both smell wonderful in the finished cut soap. Carrot is especially wonderful. I would just suggest subbing some of the water in the begining of your recipe and waiting till after light trace to add the juice. This helps me protect the juice scent from being damaged too much. If you try adding the juice to the begining- Lye to juice, it pretty much kills most the scent and for a while afterwards it smells horrible. Both lightly color the soap a pale yellow. I would suggest adding more scent to them to help carry it along though.
