Unexpected Results: Charcoal Soap Experiment

  • Today I'm testing the results of using three different activated charcoals in my soap recipe. I'm using Coconut Husk Ash, Bamboo Ash, and Wood Ash charcoals to test today. The soap gelled fast using CPOP and I did get a bit of silicone rash due to the heat. I suspect this heated up so much from the fragrance.
    I certainly get some unexpected results. I suspect this is due to a few factors such as usage rates and where the charcoals are sourced from. Let me know if you've tested yours. Are they different from my results?
    I used exactly 1 TSP of each charcoal splitting my batter in 3 with about 300 grams overage for the pink layer. Approx. 666.6g for each layer of batter. My recipe used 2300G of oils.
    Full recipe below.
    ***Test batching: I recommend doing a test batch if you're using a new recipe, fragrance oil, or special additives. You don't want to ruin a large batch if things don't go as planned! This is my test batch size. You can adjust yours to suit your needs.

    Excellent and very informative video! Thank you for sharing your research. Sakura from Mad Micas is my most favorite shade of pink. Question: where did you get your gloves and they look to be reusable? Are they?

      I’m glad it was informative for you. My gloves are reusable and quite thick. Here’s the link on Amazon where I bought them. I love all Mad Micas and I’ve gone through so much Sakura already too 😊 a.co/d/8wwkMe7

      @Hudsonvalleysoapery thank for the glove info. They look like they are a nice fit. Much better than the pair I bought from Wally World. I really like all the Mad Micas offerings too!
