Potential Issues
Charcoal can produce gray lather. Using too much may be overly drying. The fine powder can be messy — disperse in oil before adding to batter.
Pairing Tips
Disperse charcoal in a small amount of oil before adding. Pair with tea tree or peppermint essential oils for a detox-themed bar. Great for layered black-and-white designs.
