"Perfect for Black Bath Bombs" COMMENTS:  I mostly use this for my Black Bath Bombs and Detox Bath Salt. My black bath bombs are a huge hit & sell out quickly. Adding the activated charcoal with a little other colorant gives jet black water. It's a good idea to disperse it with polysorbate 80 since charcoal isn't water soluable. Also, make sure you wear a mask when you work with it or you'll get it in your nose! This is definately one of my necessary ingredients!

"Fine powder charcoal" COMMENTS:  This is a very fine, powdery charcoal that blends easy in cold process as well as bath bombs. When using in bath bombs, I recommend using an additional black (or dark) colorant to achieve black water results. Charcoal alone makes a VERY dark grey, but without an additional black, it is hard to achieve the black water that is all the rage right now. I also use this to make charcoal soaps or anytime that I need a dark soap. It has nearly taken the place of using black oxide for me! PRODUCT USED IN:   Soap - Cold Process, Bath Fizzies & Salts

"Lovely!!!" COMMENTS:  I love activated charcoal and this one doesn't disappoint. Unlike the coconut wood version, this is the super fine powder I like. I use it in soap, scrubs and masks and everything turns out great. If you've never tried activated charcoal before you absolutely have to. It always leaves my skin feeling soft and detoxified. When I use it regularly, with other ingredients like sea clay and tea tree EO, my acne is alleviated. PRODUCT USED IN:   Soap - Melt & Pour, Exfoliants & Sugar Scrubs, Face Care THINGS I LIKE   THINGS I'D LIKE TO CHANGE • Super silky fine powder • Detoxifies skin • Seems to alleviate acne

"Customers Keep Asking for More!" COMMENTS:  My soap customers keep coming back for more activated charcoal products. They say it works wonders for them! I like how it turns the soap batter a true black. A little bit goes a LONG way, so this product will last you a long time. Do know that it is a fine powder, and if it spills, it can be a hassle to clean up. (Not that I know that from experience, ahem...)But if you're careful, it's easy to work with. PRODUCT USED IN:   Soap - Cold Process THINGS I LIKE   THINGS I'D LIKE TO CHANGE • dark, true black • doesn't seem to accelerate trace • little bit goes a long way

"Love this natural colorant" COMMENTS:  I received this as a sample and I love it! I will definitely purchase more in the future. As other reviewers have pointed out, you really need very little of it to produce a wonderful, dark color in both CP and MP soap. I like using it with fragrance oils with vanilla content so I don't have to worry about the natural discoloration as much. Love this product.

Mark • Iowa Date Submitted:  02/06/2016 I Recommend This Product!

"Great stuff!" COMMENTS:  I tried using activated charcoal in a batch of my melt and pour soap on a tip from my son. Wasn't sure what to expect, but have absolutely loved the results! I used a little over one tablespoon per pound of base in my last batch causing the bars to be deep black and lather to be medium gray. Despite those misleading appearances, the lather rinses off 100% with no residue, taking dirt and excess oils with it. I will soon be making my third and largest batch of activated charcoal soap. PRODUCT USED IN:   Soap - Melt & Pour

Cindy • Pennsylvania Date Submitted:  01/22/2016 I Recommend This Product!

"Beautiful Black!" COMMENTS:  I made a batch of CP soap using this product instead of the black oxide I'd used in the past, and the result was a gorgeous, deep black. I used a bar to make sure it doesn't come off in the lather and/or on the washcloth the way black oxide does, and there was no hint of black or gray at all. Works beautifully! PRODUCT USED IN:   Soap - Cold Process THINGS I LIKE   THINGS I'D LIKE TO CHANGE • Deep black • A little goes a long way

"So will this activated charcoal stain a bathtub of used in a bath bomb recipe? I asked another soaper about using activated charcoal and she said she has never used activated charcoal in a bath bomb but she thinks it would make a mess in the tub. I have no clue what she meant by that" Click Here To View 1 answer(s) Posted By: Bree   |   February 23, 2016 Email Me When This Question Gets Answered

Staff Answer The 'mess' that they were referring to is because Activated Charcoal can be a very potent color. If you are looking for a black color we recommend using Black Sparkle Mica but if you do use the Activated Charcoal be aware that the charcoal can leach into porous materials such as grout or granite.   Posted By: WSP Staff   |   Date: February 23, 2016 Was this answer helpful?
