Hi everyone! I have been developing a facial soap bar along these lines and would love some constructive criticism and any ideas you may have to help me get it right :wink:
So far my oils are:-
CO 50%
OO 20%
RBO 10%
Neem Oil 5%
Shea Butter 5%
with possibly either Camellia Tea Seed Oil or Mustard Seed Oil or Grapeseed Oil making up the other 10%...?
I will be using some Aloe Juice in my liquid amount, adding Tussah Silk to my lye and some Green Tea Extract at trace. I have bought some Activated Charcoal capsules and will add 1 tsp ppo to my oils and possibly a little French Green Clay as well. My eos will probably be Litsea & Lavender.
Any suggestions? I am not sure what superfat to use....I usually go for 6%, however with the high amount of CO should I go higher? Or will that pose problems for oily skin? I don't really want it to be too drying as that can stimulate more oil production in skin. Will GM help if I don't superfat any higher?
Thanks in advance!
