The benefits of charcoal soap.
I ve been doing more studying on the oils used in soapmaking along with some of the other ingredients and think that i m getting better at developing soaps that have.
1 tablespoon activated charcoal.
Activated charcoal can be added directly into your cold process soap but mixing it with oil first helps cut down on potential clumping.
250 grams palm oil.
450 grams coconut oil.
Add back into the rest of the melted soap base and stir well to fully disperse charcoal.
For charcoal soap add 8 tsp of activated charcoal.
Once you ve gotten your soap base all chopped and measured out place the soap base into a double boiler over medium heat stirring frequently until the soap base is completely melted.
Slowly pour black soap into the mold.
Add the tea tree oil.
300 grams palm kernal oil.
Remove a small amount of soap into a cup and let cool slightly.
2 ounces of scent.
Add 15 20 charcoal caps or 1 2 teaspoon more if a darker color is desired see above to one batch.
Once the soap is completely liquid pour half of the soap into another tempered glass bowl.
Next go ahead and measure out the jojoba oil and add it to the soap base and stir until well combined.
Open the charcoal capsules and mix charcoal into slightly cooled soap until blended and no lumps remain.
You will probably need to gently reheat the soap and charcoal mixture at this point.
So you ll need to add 1 teaspoon of activated charcoal to 1 tablespoon of a lightweight liquid oil in order to incorporate it into your soap recipe.
Soaps swirled with charcoal look absolutely beautiful as the black and white contrast so well against each other.
Use a spatula to catch the flow so that it gently lays into the mold.
