Guest guest Posted November 12, 2002 Report Share Posted November 12, 2002 Hi guys! I just bought some ground pumice stone... and would like to know if anyone can give me any suggestions on a good recipe for ground pumice stone in M & P bars. I was thinking of an exfoliating bar, perhaps for exfoliating your feet and adding peppermint oil to it. I'm just not too sure on how much of the pumice to add I guess. Thanks! Have a wonderful day!

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2002 Report Share Posted November 12, 2002 How much pumice do you put, and what fragrances do you use?

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2002 Report Share Posted November 12, 2002 Hi Carol... And how much of the ground pumice stone should I add per bar of soap? R.

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2002 Report Share Posted November 13, 2002 , about 2 tablespoons of pumice to a lb. of soap. I never make less than a pound of soap at a time. I use scents like Northwoods or Breeze since I make these for men. My son loves the pumice soap, he does a lot of gardening and is always tinkering with something in the garage. You should only use the pumice soap on hands or heels of the feet as it is quite abrasive. You could scent it peppermint if making it for a woman. Pumice soap is what I call a " work " soap so I don't use frilly scents but there is no reason why you couldn't. A citrus scent would be nice too. Just go easy on the abrasive, I once made a cornmeal bar that would take the hide off an elephant. They looked great and smelled of raspberry but they were like using sandpaper chunks. Have fun.

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2002 Report Share Posted November 23, 2002 , start with about 2 tablespoons to a lb. of m & p, maybe even a little less at first. Carol A2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 24, 2002 Report Share Posted November 24, 2002 Hi Carol A2 Thanks for your info. Ok, I gave the recipe a shot... but all the pumice stone ended up suspended at the bottom when the soap was done. Is there something in particular I need to do to make the pumice stone disperse throughout the soap without suspending to the bottom? ThankS! =o) R.
