THANKS BUTCH & CHRIS RE POMACE

[Guest guest]

I'd never toss it; I'm too much of a waste not/want not girl. Now the pomace

I got is not green, it's golden. Does the greent tint still apply? I could

make a beautiful castile by infusing it with rosemary and lavender right? And

if I use the Lab Colours for Olive does that balance the tone? There's

plenty of soaps that I make that have a green tint to them that this can work

for

-- lemon verbena, rosemary castile, lavender castile (I use toffee purple),

french green clay and all the clay soaps, actually.

Are the lathering properties the same as reg olive oil and so I use it in

the same percentages in my normal recipes with the only difference being the

tracing and the color factors?

Hi Jody

 

> ... the pomace I got is not green, it's golden. Does the green

tint still apply?

 

Hmmm, I've personally only used green poamce (and its a dark green)

so I don't know for sure, but I'd have to ASSUME that if its a golden

colored oil it'll make a golden colored soap.

 

 

> I could make a beautiful castile by infusing it with rosemary and

lavender right?

 

Oh yes!

 

> And if I use the Lab Colours for Olive does that balance the tone?

 

I'm sorry, never used them, so I can't help ya out there ...

 

> There's plenty of soaps that I make that have a green tint to them

castile (I use toffee purple), french green clay and all the clay

soaps, actually.

 

 

I have a bunch of herbal soaps I make that the green works for .. and

my cocoa mint swirl soap is great with the green shade too - and the

chocolate brown cocoa swirl looks wonderful against it

 

> Are the lathering properties the same as reg olive oil and so I

Yes! Same SAP value, same great lather ... just a much faster trace

(which I personally like. I'm too busy and impatient to wait a long

time for my soap to trace *LOL*)
