Charcoal Acne Bar
Solid Soap · NaOH · 100 g oil load · 3% superfat · 3 views · 0 saves
Fully melt the castor oil, coconut oil, olive oil & avocado oil. Once the lye water and the oils have cooled to 100 degrees or below (and are ideally within 10 degrees of each other), add the lye water to the oils and stick blend until thin trace. Add 1 Tbsp. activated charcoal to the soap. Use your stick blender to "tap down" the charcoal to start to mix it into the batter. If you turn on the stick blender immediately, the charcoal may "poof" into the air. Slowly pulse the stick blender to incorporate the charcoal. Add the tea tree essential oil to the soap, and use the stick blender to blend and stir the essential oil until completely mixed in. Continue to stick blend for just a few seconds, to make sure the ingredients are completely combined. When the soap is a medium trace and is still pourable, pour the batter into the individual cavities of the 6 Bar Mold. Tap the mold on the counter to even the soap and get rid of bubbles.
