I've got 3 batches under my belt and totally addicted! You all warned me! Anyway.... My sister-in-law, hubby, sister, and I all have moderate adult acne. I've read that tea tree oil is great for this. Here are the oils I have, coconut, canola,lard,olive,and sunflower (All I can afford right now.)
My Question is this.....
Can I use all or some of these oils with the tea tree oil to make an acne soap? Could you recommend percentages? Should/could I add honey and oatmeal or buttermilk or would it be best to keep it simple? I've read that honey is great for the skin and the oatmeal can mildly exfoliate. Also, what would be the recommended amount of tea tree oil for a 1 pound batch and when do I add this? At trace? How do I use the buttermilk (I actually have buttermilk powder so I would need to know how to use this.)
Thanks in advance!
