DIY Tea Tree + Activated Charcoal Soap Recipe | Melt and Pour
The best ever, simple melt and pour activated charcoal cleansing soup recipe that is great for face and body using Melaleuca essential oils (aka Tea Tree oils) and Activated charcoal.
Servings: 6 bars
Ingredients
- 1 pound melt-and-pour soap base
- 1 teaspoon activated charcoal
- 1 teaspoon isopropyl alcohol
- 20 drops Melaleuca essential oil
Instructions
- 1. Cut soap base into 1-inch cubes and place into a microwave safe bowl. 2. Melt in microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until soap is completely melted. 3. In a small bowl, add 1 teaspoon isopropyl alcohol and add 1 teaspoon activated charcoal and mix until there are no lumps. 4. Pour activated charcoal mixture into melted soap base. Add Melaleuca essential oil. Stir until everything is thoroughly mixed. 5. Spray silicone mold with isopropyl alcohol. This will help give the soap a smoother finish and will get rid of any air bubbles on the surface. Pour soap evenly into silicone mold and give a finishing spray on the soap to get rid of bubbles. Let harden for 30-45 minutes and it is ready to use.
