Teach Soap

Hi Everyone,
Has anyone tried making a seaweed soap with strips of “nori” seaweed that is used in sushi
in the MP soap base?

I would like to make an "ocean" soap with spirulina for coloring & some strips of seaweed -nori- for accents,
maybe a little sea salt.

Does anyone know what will happen to the nori?

Any scent suggestions?

It will turn greenish brown in MP over time. The bigger pieces turned slimey on me. I've never done it this way again. I do use it in CP though.

Slimey doesn't sound good! Any suggestions on what I could use? I suppose I could do a dark blue drizzle.
Thanks, Soapbuddy

You could use specks of cut up green MP (or blue).

I wonder if nori turns slimy because its got soy sauce added before it's toasted? I have some bladderwrack and some kelp powder I ordered from a wiccan supply place online that I've used in bath bombs and that works really well.

Thank you Dawn, I have some green kelp, but I'm using spirulina for color.
I wonder if eucalyptus would work? Anyone try eucalyptus leaves in MP?

Ohhhhh, I've never seen untoasted nori before (except online.) All the markets here only sell the green toasted--not the purple-ish raw/dried.
