Mangosteen soap with Eucalyptus essential oil

After a lot of research about how to make Mangosteen soap in various web site. I could not learn any thing much apart from their very nice soap picture. It's a light Purple colour or swirls soap.

Mangosteen have a lot of benefits in health and skin. It's been used to treat skin disorders, fight infection, ... and a very powerful antioxidant.

Excited enough, today I decided to make my very first own Mangosteen soap.

All right, let's do it.
Start with peel off the skin and then take the soft Purple meat to use in soap.

I'm using sieve to milled the fibres.
One thing you may noticed is the colour of the Mangosteen fibres, it's not Purple isn't it ?
I don't understand too.

Infact, it's a brown colour and i'm using fresh fibres. I added the fibres in to the light traced soap then keep mixed thoroughly. I stirred to trace for 10 minutes then poured into mold for set.

I'm abit disappointed with the colour, I thought it will be at least light Purple or Pink.
Turn out, it's more like a green colour with some dark spots.

These pictures are all before curing time. Will se how it will be after curing time. The pH changes may changes the colour, i hope.

Have anyone have any experiences with this soap ? Please leaves your comment.
I'm eager to learn some info from you all. BIG BIG THANKS.
Await to hear from you.

EucaMatcha

It's almost that i'm obsessed with Matcha green tea and hasn't get over it yet.
I have done yet another Matcha green tea recipe with Eucalyptus essential oil.

I hope after curing time, the green tea colour will become a bit brighter.
Love it already.

My Matcha Green tea and Tea tree EO soap

I always love Green tea and fascinating about all the benefits of Green tea could bring to the user.

There are various benefits of green tea soap. Some of them are:

• About 30-35% of a single green tea leaf is made up of polyphenol cells. It is a powerful antioxidant which protects our skin from UV rays and act as a great sunscreen.
• Green tea soap also has anti-inflammatory properties which reduces redness and swelling in the skin. Green tea extracts also prevent acne and early signs of aging.
• Green tea soap has a beautiful fragrance which can energizes anyone after a bath.
• Green leaves extracts in soap also help absorb extra oil from skin giving it a smooth and supple look.
