Hi everyone,
I have encountered a huuuge problem. My last batch of bastile soap has made my face break out horribly. Please, help me by pointing out what could be the proble .
My recipe:
312g pomace olive oil
88g coconut oil
31g castor oil
10g s.almond oil
63g lye
63g of water
10g French clay
4ml of mint and lavender eo
I have used 1:1 water-lye ratio. Never had a problem with it. I use very little eo. I didn't want a strong scent but just enough to kill of the oily scent. Processed the whole thing until thick trace then added almond oil. Poured it into molds and oven processed the whole thing. I let it cure for a week and then I used it. At first i had an intense incase in blackheads which foolishly i did not pay attention to and then the full blown case of painful acne. Others have used the soap with no reported issues but me... Uh... Any advice?
