Green Tea & Cucumber Loofah Soap

These are lovely and envigorating if you need a bit of zip in the morning.

A couple of our workshop particpants blended Cucumber Fragrance and Green Tea Fragrance 50/50 to use in their Body Butter – and everyone loved it, and it works really well in this soap too! This lovely fresh, green soap is refreshing and gently exfoliating. If you prefer to use Essential Oils try a nice green, fresh blend.

The 3D Dragonfly Soap with Rope is uncoloured and the luscious pale green has just one drop of Brite Lime Green Liquid Colour.

Makes 2 - 4 bars (depending on the size of the mould).

What You’ll Need:

• 300g Goatsmilk or Opaque (White) Melt & Pour Soap Base
• 1 Tablespoon (about 5g) Ground or Shredded Loofah
• A few drops Liquid Green Colour (If desired)
• 3g (75 drops) Green Tea and/or Cucumber Fragrance or your favourite Essential Oils
• 1 tsp Shea Butter

Easy Instructions

1. Dice the soap base into a double boiler and melt gently (or use a microwave safe bowl in the Microwave on medium low

3. Allow to cool for a few minutes stirring occasionally
4. Now add Colour and Fragrance/Essential Oils and gently stir well
