Last weekend I made a batch of cucumber melon soap. I made the green swirls by mixing a portion of the soap with spirulina powder. Spirulina is algae that is "farmed" across the world and eaten. It is 60% all-vegetable protein, rich in beta carotene, iron, vitamin B-12 and the rare essential fatty acid, GLA. It offers a striking profile of vitamins, minerals and phytonutrents. It has been shown in numerous scientific studies to have remarkable health benefits.
Absolutely beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI really like that soap...I have spirulina powder but haven't used it yet. Now I have an idea of what to expect, and what to tell people who are curious about it = )
ReplyDeleteYeah, it came out pretty nice. I am still working on better swirls. I think I just need to pour at a thinner trace. I really like spirulina as an additive/colorant. My partner, Dylan, actually just bought one of those super thick health drinks and it had spirulina in it. Taste = surprisingly good. :)
