Fruit powders?

[Shanice]

I've been researching fruit powders to add to cp soap acai berry powder, aloe vera powder,noni powder, pomegranate juice powder. But it does really have an answer as to when to add powders or the pecenatge per lb. I would add at light trace, but I'd like feedback and advice I really want to do a pomegranate soap with the powder.

Yes, I would also add it at trace. Not sure of the percentage to use, but if it's for color, I'd add the amount to get to the color I'd like, knowing it might morph or fade.

So i tried the aloe vera powder at trace and it partially gelled so that was a fail it smelt really really really bad, im hoping I can rebatch it and get rid of that scent. So lesson don't gel aloe powder

I dissolve the aloe vera powder in my water amount before adding the lye. Never had any issues doing it this way, its very well behaved and I CPOP my soap to gel.

Oh thank you!!! I think I'll try it that way

I think fruit powder will get burned when contact with lye and it will create dark spots on your soap
