I made my first batch last night and used my new powdered loofah! I

purchased it on ebay ... I used about 1 tsp. per pound. Amira

Why not used powdered herbs or petals? There's also ground almonds, which St

Ives uses in one of their face scrubs and it is wonderful!

<<Cornmeal>>

You can find it in yellow, white and sometimes blue. Looks great in soap.

Thanks to everyone for your suggestions! Wow, Blue Cornmeal..I had never

thought about that, any idea where I might find that?

Thanks a bunch!

It is not easy to find. Some health food stores carry it and Whole Foods

does carry it. If you can not find it, you could always get the white

cornmeal, dye it blue with a colorant and then add to the soap.

Hope this helps,

I have just finished a search for blue cornmeal myself.  I live in

Princeton, IN,  I finally had to get my local health food store to order

it in.  I have been making the " Gardeners Baskets " everyone had talked

about.  My next batch I plan on using it in my " no-bugs " soap.  The first

layer of the soap has oatmeal and lime citronella in it,  the second

layer I use oatmeal and E.O. of Lavender, Eucalyptus, Bitter Orange, and

Rosemary.  I'll let you know how it turns out with the blue cornmeal. 

Oh, by the way, I add these ingredients to a M & P

base.                        Hope this helps, have a wonderful day.

Suze,

Ground louffa, ground oatmeal, walnut shell dust, ground apricot seed.

I'm way behind on my mail-there's probably been a bunch of replies to this

already. Sorry!

Scubby additives-ground oatmeal, cornmeal, coffee grounds, ground rosemary,

ground lavender, pumice, ground luffa, ground (finely!) nutshells,

cosmetic-grade clay, ground dried orange peel, dried seaweed.

HTH!
