My first ever CP batch was soleseife with charcoal and moringa. I wish I had one left to try but I had mistakenly given them all to family thinking I had one or two hidden.
I can't remember why I wanted to try it. I read about it on Pinterest and gave it a go. But once I did, I loved how smooth n hard they were and I like the lather and the way I feel "refreshed" n clean after. I know it's the coconut doing the cleansing, but I can't explain how it differs from my other soaps in that aspect. It just does lol
Oh btw, my bars that are younger than 6mos don't last as long as my HP ones of the same age. Probably the high amount of coconut? Don't know if it's the same for others. I have one that'll be a year end of this month. I'll try to see how long that one lasts.
Lastly... Natural colorants and EOs don't last that long in soleseifes, except charcoal maybe? I've tried moringa, turmeric and indigo (not the blue) and they're almost gone. The mica I tried once also faded quickly but that could also be the mica, not the soap. I can barely smell the EOs I used in the soap I made last month but that could also be my amount so I upped it in my newest batch.
