Somebody mentioned to me happy thoughts about a sulfur bar and after I did some research on the topic and I am still left with a lot of questions.

Thank you for any thoughts or any idea that might fit into a sulfur bar.

1. Sulfur as soap ingredient is that yellow powder or it refers to some other substance containing sulfur ?

2. Any thoughts about combining MSM / black salt / sulfur into a stinky salt bar ? Maybe a bit of clay too ...

3. Does sulfur/MSM react to lye ? Is it supposed to ? I'd prefer to go CP, unless HP gives better results.
Maybe this is why people say sulfur soap stinks (seeing that raw sulfur doesn't have a very strong smell).

4. Any suggestions regarding scents ? I don't mind strong smells, and I'd rather choose a scent which goes together with it than against it.

5. Will sulfur colour the soap ?

6. Some people say it's drying. Should I superfat more, towards 10-12% ?

7. Am I missing anything ? :D
