Hi Jeannie! Yes, you can add herbal powders to melt and pour soap too.
They add color, sometimes mild exfoliation, possible skin benefits, and label appeal.
I usually dissolve the powders in about 2 to 3 times as much isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) then stir them into the melted soap base.
I’ve not used sandalwood powder, but for lemon and orange peel powders, try using around 1/2 teaspoon for every 4 ounces of melt and pour soap base.
I also have lots more info about adding herbs and natural colorants to melt & pour plus photo galleries of what many of them look like in my print book. :)

Can I use them in M & P soap? How do I add them if it’s possible and what would it bring to the soap? Colors? Thanks so much
