Why use cucumber powder instead of fresh cucumber?
Powder is shelf-stable, concentrated, and won't add excess water or spoil – maintains consistent lye calculations and batch quality.
How much to add in soap or melt-and-pour?
½-1 tsp per 500g base at light trace for tint and cooling; stir thoroughly to prevent clumping.
Does it help with acne or inflamed skin?
Yes – caffeic acid and enzymes reduce redness/swelling; great in honey masks or clay bars.
Can it be used in creams/lotions?
Yes – disperse 1-2% in water phase for hydration and cooling finish.
Is it 100% pure?
Absolutely – spray-dried organic cucumbers only; organic with no additives.
How does the colour hold in soap?
Soft green persists well in cold-process (pH 8-10); add at light trace/gel for best vibrancy.
Is it suitable for eye masks or sensitive areas?
Yes – cooling and de-puffing; blend with aloe or gel for gentle under-eye treatments.
What's the best way to mix it?
Disperse in small amount of liquid first to avoid clumps – enhances smooth incorporation.
