sumptillyumptious Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 Another newbie question from the homebrew newbie labratory in Northern BC...I just got back into homemade perfumery/soap making after about a few months of giving up. Last night for Christmas, I got this gift of fresh strawberry soap that made my mouth water. Not only was the strawberry smell authentic, but it even had strawberry seeds in it. Now, I'd like to try to emulate the soap myself, because the size of the soap is small, and such a pretty soap shouldn't be used up in a matter of days.So, along with a nice mp base (I've found a good white glycerin base, but I'm looking at jojoba oil and soy milk ones of the Gourmet Rose on ebay), is it possible to use strawberry seeds or strawberry powder to emulate that effect? Or, should I used frozen or fresh strawberries in the mix? I've heard of food being used in mp, but I haven't experiment or heard of it enough to go that route. So I humbly ask for your advice. Thank you for your consideration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 You can put strawberry seeds in your soap if you can get them to suspend. You can get strawberry seeds at http://www.thesage.com/catalog/Botanicals.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindaColo Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 I'd avoid fresh or frozen strawberries just because of mold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
