I´ve made this soap especially for my brother and boyfriend, which despite their not lowest age 😃 have sometimes problems with rash and oily skin.
Charcoal cleans the pores, removes dirt and oiliness, TeaTree oil has cleansing and antiseptic properties and helps to cure acne, clay generally absorbs oiliness, removes toxins and dead skin cells...however the white clay is better for normal or dry skin, I decided to use it in this recipe to make nice contrast layers.
I also had to try (of course😄 ) the soap on my face and the skin feels so nice soft and clean.
Here is the recipe:
5% superfatting
+ scale
stick blender
2 containers
container (for lye water)
spoon, spatula
silicone mould
!Safety
Gloves, goggles, long sleeves, ventilated area. When splashing lye water or fresh soap on skin rinse the area with tapped water for 15 min.
Process:
- Weight all the ingredients
- Slowly add sodium hydroxide to the water and stir till it all dissolves. Let it cool to 40°C (I usually use the lye water when it´s about room temperature)
- Melt the oils and butters when necessary and let also cool for the same temperature as the lye water is
- Slowly add the lye water in your oils and stick blend to thin trace
- Add essential oil, stick blend once again
- Split the batch into two parts, add charcoal (3 capsules are about teaspoon) to the first one and white clay and titanium dixiode (dispersed in bit of oil) to the other part, mix to medium trace (puding like)
- Pour the first layer of the soap into mould, tap the mould on the table to prevent air bubbles,add the second layer (do not tap anymore, because the layers can get mixed)
- Cover with paper or cardboard, wrap in a blanket, let sit on side and go through gel phase
- Unmould after 24-48 hours
My trace came so fast that in the end I have to spoon it 😃 which was actually advantage, because the layers didn´t mix, but I didn´t make the best lines.
This amount is for three 100g soaps, which I cut in halves. I prefer small soaps used for face 😊
