I was so hoping to give you some more clues, but Alexandra got it after only clue 2. . . My next clues were going to be:
Clue 3: It grows here in the Mediterranean region, both wild and cultivated. . .
Clue 4: The actual colour of this ingredient is beautiful and vibrant but so different to the resulting soap colour. . .
Clue 5: We eat it.
And well, so many more ideas for clues but the correct guess is. . .
POMEGRANATE JUICE
Can you believe it?
This photo is the same soap, just taken later the same day. It has been difficult to capture the true colour with a camera. The actual colour is a beautiful deep greeny brown.
Congratulations Alexendra!!! Please send me your address to naturalmentemediterraneo@yahoo.com and I will send you a bar of the soap!

ReplyDeleteJen, you made my day!!!
But I must confess that I never, ever have guessed ,if a month ago I wouldn't have made a soap with the same ingredient, pomegranate juice, and the colour is pretty much the same as yours. :)
Thanks , Jen!
Congrats Alexandra! ..and, no fair Jen ;)..guessing what gave a soap its color before it has sat for at least 2 weeks is ..well..but someone got it, so YAY!
ReplyDeleteCongratulation, Alexandra!
ReplyDeleteThe funny thing is that I have a slightly over-ripe Pomegranate sitting here which I want to soap next week...at least now I know which color to expect;)
Oh wow!! Congratulation, Alexandra!
ReplyDeleteI have used Pomegranate Juice before, but it didn't turn out this color..
It was close to brick color.
But anyways, the soap looks beautiful! =)

Congrats Alexandra, I never would have guessed that. What an interesting shade.
ReplyDeleteAlexandra, Now I understand how you got it!! Send me your address and I will send you a bar!

Cocobong, you are right... if it changes greatly, I will have to post again about the change... Thanks for participating!
Hellocat, let us all know if you get different results!!
Soaptician, oh! I would have loved a brick colour. Maybe it will turn that way? This soap is only a few days old...
Michelle, Thanks for your participation!! This has been fun!

Alexandra, Please send me your address!!! xo Jen
ReplyDeleteSorry I missed your guessing game, I would never have thought of Pomegranate, that's got to be really good for your skin. Looks great, so creamy, you can almost see the goodness in it. Congrats to the lucky winner:)
ReplyDeleteHi Jan, thanks for your comment. Yes the game was fun! I was hoping that it would have gone on longer though... I will post about the pomegranate soap soon. i also used pomegranate seed oil in it. Hope you are well! xo Jen
ReplyDeleteWhoa! That's so cool! My next guess would have been chocolate milk. What else is in this bar?
ReplyDeleteBriny Bar, I think it is pretty cool too. Who knew??? Well only Alexandra who had recently done similar experiments. I also added some Pomegranate Seed Oil and an EO combo - new and total dud. I hate it when that happens. Have you tried Frankinsence? Have you got any tips for getting a soap scent with Frankinsence that isn't a dud? I may be coming to the conclusion that I don't like it, but I dont give up easily... xo jen
