Here are some ideas for adding texture to your soaps
	In the picture to the left we have added our ground blue loofah. The star is made from our opaque soap base and has a little of our ultramarine blue colorant added to it in addition to the blue loofah. The fish is our transparent soap base with blue loofah.

The oval soap has green loofah added to it as well as a very small amount of our avocado green colorant and was made with our opaque (white) base. The green star was made with our transparent base, green loofah and avocado green colorant.	The purple heart above was made using our transparent soap base, violet loofah and our ultramarine violet colorant. Use less colorant for a better showing of the loofah. The oval soap above was made using our opaque soap, violet loofah and a very small amount of our ultramarine violet colorant.
When adding "floating items" such as ground loofah, jojoba beads, and other exfoliants, do the following: stir your soap and let it stand. If the items go to the top or bottom, wait a minute, try again. Just as soon as your "floating items" stay suspended after you have stirred the soap, pour into your molds fast. There is about a five second turn around between being able to pour and the soap getting too thick to pour. If it gets too thick, nuke a few seconds, stir, and, again, when they float, pour. You'll see what I mean once you have tried it. It's worth it!!



	Here are some of the colors we carry in our jojoba beads. They add quite a scrub to your soaps. You can can more information on our Jojoba Beads page. You would follow the instructions for adding the loofah.

We also have exfoliants such as apricot, jojoba and sweet almond meals. Our pumices add just the right amount of scrub to your garden soaps. See these here.
