kinipela Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I have a request for m&p with tea tree oil and activated charcoal for an acne soap. Has anyone tried this before?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flicker Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I have not in melt and pour but have done similar in CP with excellent results for my teens I used activated charcoal, tea tree eo and lavender eo. The lavender is also excellent for use in treating acne and it smells better than tea tree. I'd give it a shot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 I use tea tree oil and natural lemon juice and peel. Lemons can be used is a natural astringent and they work great in M&P.Haven't tried any activated charcoal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang67 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Out of curiosity just what does the charcoal do? Does it turn the soap black? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinipela Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share Posted February 27, 2009 Where would I even get activated charcoal from? I know you can get charcoal filters for cat litter boxes and activated carbon for fish tanks She specifically asked for activated charcoal and tea tree oil. I'm going to suggest the lemon EO or lemon juice though since I do have that on hand and can get TTO from the local organic store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noodle Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Candybee, I have never thought to use real lemon juice in MP simply because I thought that it would get, well, yucky. Does it really hold up? I would love to make this for personal use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
