Activated bamboo charcoal helps keep skin clear by absorbing oil and getting rid of dirt deep in the pores, removes impurities, detoxes skin, reduce/eliminate acne and whitening your complexion naturally. Back in the old days in Laos, they used bamboo charcoal to whitening their teeth. I might give it try, way cheaper than going to the dental clinic :))
So here's how I made my bamboo charcoal soap with goats milk.
My goats milk lye solution in ice bath to keep it cool.
Oils melted, being that this a facial soap, all of the oils I used are non-comedogenic, that means it won't clog pores.
Adding charcoal and essential oils (tea tree and lavender), one of the best essential oils for clearing acne.

Here it is, looks like a big block of black chalk :}} Turn out pretty good.....
I forgot to mention I also made a round facial soap. This one I made with FRESH avocado and FRENCH clay. I didn't have time to take pictures for this one. I was having a little drama with using a mailing tube. It was my first time so needless to say, I was struggling quite a bit.
I love the rustic looks of my bamboo charcoal soaps.
