I have been on the look out for new things to add to melt-and-pour soaps to make them super scrubby. Like a spa in bar. I have been purchasing my soap base from Bramble Berry which is a Washington supplier and best of all the owner is very knowledgable and produces lots of tutorials like this one about
Loofa Soap. Which I had to try out! The results were fantastic. I am also getting better at the whole melt-and-pour process. Of course when she posts tutorials the materials are generally sold out in her store. I was able to find cheap loofa at Target. I used mostly mica for my color and I didn't pre-mix it before adding it to the soap so it left little floating chunks which I liked. I also used only enough color to tint the soap so light shows through - like an aget revealing the loofa.
Soaps:
Aloe Base - Lavender Oil, Dried Lavender, Loofa, Caster Oil, Vitamin E, Purple Mica Colorant
Olive Oil Base - Ceder Oil, Sea Salt, Loofa, Caster Oil, Vitamin E, Orange Mica Colorant
Olive Oil Base - Tea Tree Oil, Cinnamon, Loofa, Caster Oil, Vitamin E, Green Mica Colorant
and some combinations of the above...
