• After-Sun Body Polish: Stir into sweet almond oil + fine sugar for a silky scrub that restores moisture and eases redness post-beach.

Q: Why choose cucumber powder over fresh cucumber in soapmaking?
A: Fresh cucumber spoils quickly and adds excess water. Our organic cucumber powder is shelf-stable, concentrated, and won’t disrupt your lye calculations — perfect for consistent, long-lasting batches.

Q: How much cucumber powder should I add to melt-and-pour soap?
A: Start with ½ tsp per 500g base at light trace. Stir well to avoid clumping — it gives a soft green tint and cooling sensation without affecting cure time.

Q: Will it help with acne or inflamed skin in face masks?
A: Yes! Its natural caffeic acid and silica content help reduce redness and swelling. Mix with manuka honey for a gentle, antibacterial spot treatment mask.

Q: Can I use it in cream or lotion formulations?
A: Absolutely. Disperse 1–2% in the water phase before emulsification — boosts hydration and gives products a luxurious, cooling finish.

Q: Is your cucumber powder 100% pure with no additives?
A: Yes — single-ingredient, spray-dried organic cucumbers. No fillers, anti-caking agents, or preservatives. Certified organic and cosmetic-safe.

Q: Does the colour stay true in high-pH soap?
A: The soft green hue holds well in cold-process soap (pH 8–10). For vibrant results, add at light trace and gel phase — avoid overheating.
