When I learned about the benefits of pumpkin on the skin, I had to try to turn one into soap. I used the bright orange juice of 3 pumpkins as the liquid base. I added rice starch, calendula and turmeric for their soothing properties. The fragrance is just 'delicious': vanilla, clove, cinnamon, and orange essential oils... They blend perfectly with the rich aroma of pumpkin and turmeric. I wished I could taste it! The texture of the final soap is something in between a scrub and a smooth soap. The creamy lather leaves the skin soft, smooth and fragrant of pumpkin pie and orange blossoms.
