"Charcoal is awesome"
COMMENTS: Love love love charcoal, a fine enough texture to really get soap dark. Using enough of it to get very black soap gives a gentle exfoliating feel in the shower- customers are loving this. I'm hooked on making charcoal soap. Works equally well in CP and HP.

"Love it"
COMMENTS: When I make black bath bombs, I put a little in to make it look darker. Not even a teaspoon to a batch. If you put too much, it leaves clumps in the bath and on your skin. I also have used it in toothpaste to brush my teeth. Works great. Super fine .

"Easy to use!"
COMMENTS: Use this in CPOP facial soap with honey. I mix 1 tsp charcoal PPO to 2 oz of my base oils beforehand. Then I whisk it in while all my base oils are still warm. Then add the lye water. Works like a charm!
