Question:
Hello,
I was wondering which of your activated charcoal products would be best for me to use for my soap making. I am looking to make a detox soap.
The top of the line is our DETOX 1600, which is a USP grade made from coconut shell. We use this one on our Super Natural Soap
Coconut Shell is quite hot in the cosmetic industry right now and for a more economical activated charcoal powder I would recommend the Ultra Fine. It will make a very black, beautiful soap and used in many fine natural cosmetics. We use the Ultra Fine in most of our specialty soaps such as our Mud Clay Scrub, Psoriasis, Baa Baa Black Sheep and many others.
The bamboo charcoal powder we brought in specifically for soap makers and for using in pastries. A lot of soap makers and users of bamboo soap love it. We use the bamboo activated charcoal powder our organic goat's milk soap.
The hardwood charcoal powder, though it is the least expensive is still a very high quality activated charcoal powder and is used in many soaps. The hardwood is the one that we always recommend for taking baths and foot soaking. This is my personal favorite for making poultices as well.
The choice is yours, they will all make a fabulous soap!
We do not believe charcoal [activated charcoal] CURES any disease common to man or animals. Charcoal is a natural remedy that does neutralize, adsorb, and/or remove thousands of different biological or man-made poisons from the body, allowing the body to better heal itself the way the Creator designed it to.
