	"Listen to the reviewa"
COMMENTS: I think it's a great product for the right application. It is super pungent. I might think about using it for a foot scrub or soak. something that isn't used so close to the nose.

"Works great, but colors soap"

COMMENTS: It works great as an exfoliant: you can feel the bits on your skin when you scrub, but it doesn't hurt. The granules are pretty heavy, so you need to watch out when you pour it in your soap molds, because they'll drop to the bottom if you're not careful with the temperature. Something I'd like to note is that this exfoliant DOES dye white soap a tiny bit. I noticed that it will tinge the clay a lime green, if it's under a white base (or white clay base). If you want a white soap bar with little bits of this, I would recommend looking for something else safer.

"Kool!"

COMMENTS: I always prepare all my powders and colors in oil at least 15 mins before starting my melt & pour soup! I used this all worried about it being fishy due to complaints I read here. I never had any problem with that at all. It is not scratchy if soaked in the oils first. I did fragrance it with a favorite scent of mine "Litsea". Love this gentle ocean bar!

"Surprisingly Good"

COMMENTS: The kelp really smells of seaweed right out of the package(which isn't bad, it's great for ocean scents). While in hot soap it smells strongly of fish - this does not last. As soon as my soap had begun to cool in its mold the strong smell had faded and now kelp's scent(seaweed smell) is barely noticeable. I used the Lemongrass Tea scent in aloe bars. Kelp did change the color of the aloe bar to a dark olive like green which worked great for my soap.

"Strong odor"

COMMENTS: It's excellent by the properties that it has, but it has a strong odor, (like fish). I used for a foot exfoliant and It didn't look nice on the feet. So I added some color and citrus aroma and it works for me. (Don't use pomelo or a sweet aroma because it doesn't work...) The size it's ok for a foot exfoliant.

"I can almost hear the surf...."

COMMENTS: I use these kelp granules in a couple of my cold process soaps as well as one of my sugar scrub recipes. Customers love the spa-like essence it provides...and the minerals are a major bonus! I was worried about the odor...but after receiving it, I found that it was not bad at all. I mix it with various fragrance and essential oils to achieve a fresh scent that is invigorating and upscale. I love the added texture and pops of color that this product adds to my soaps and scrubs as well.
