My black cumin seed oil CP soap with Ceylon black tea & cardamom powder

[CsIxy]

Scent free. Just a strong Ceylon black tea and cardamom brew.

Lovely soap! Why did you choose black cumin seed oil? I take it for stomach problems, but I'm wondering what it does in soap?

It is included in the soap calculator, so it can be used in soap.

Very nice looking soap.
@MGM it has a similar fatty acid profile as Grapeseed Oil. So while it will make a nice oil it will have to watched regarding shelf life, especially with a 7% superfat. I personally would have gone with a less shelf life but I assume Cslxy was offsetting the higher CO.

But the word "soap" doesn't appear in the meta analysis...sounds like the oil is widely tested, but as soap, perhaps not so much? Not for stomachs, anyway...

Oh yes, but I use it & love it.
