Notes:
Fresh cucumber puree in place of water.
Opt: 1 tbsp green clay mixed in lye solution to draw out more color.
Add grated peel (very dry!) at trace.
If making layers: pour half into mould, sprinkle spirulina powder onto soap, pour rest of soap into mould onto spatula.
Margaret Wall adds ½ tsp salt to hot lye solution to increase hardness of bar, and ½ tsp sugar to warm lye solution to boost lather.
