Raw herbs and fruit in soap?

I was wondering if I could put, fresh fruit juice, fruit zest or fresh mint leaves that kind of thing into a soap?

Answer:

Visit my page on Herbal Natural Soap Ingredients for a great list of choices that can be added to handmade soap.

You can use fresh ingredients as well. I tend to use dried because I can grind the herb/veggie/plant up and use it as a colourant. Be sure to use liquid or puree for fruits and veggies since chunks will go moldy in the soap.

Here is a link to another readers question (and the comments) that is pretty similar.
