Key Points
- Understanding the properties of different purees is crucial as they contain varying amounts of water, fats, and sugars that affect the soap's behavior.
- Adding purees at thin trace helps incorporate them smoothly, but be aware that high-sugar purees can speed up trace, so use a slow-moving recipe if you're new to this technique.
- To avoid issues like mold and bacteria growth, start with about one ounce of puree per pound of soap and aim to use soaps with fresh purees within six months.
