Dead Sea Soap.....Update

So as it turns out this soap isn't so bad after all. I was really disappointed after I finished cutting these bars as they were crumbling and just sweating with moisture. My friend Sandy from Little Meadows told me that the activated charcoal may also bleed if I used too much.

These bars have been sitting for a week now, they are not sweating anymore and with soap the bars loose moisture as they sit curing.

In this recipe I used 2 pounds of Dead Sea Salt and 4 tsp. of activated charcoal. The batch made 6 pounds of soap. The more I check them they are holding their shape they are not crumbling anymore. My husband John loves the smell. (Satsuma...Manadrin and Jasmine) with the charcoal they are glittery and sparkly. I think after a good month they will be good enough to sell. I love the grainy texture of them too! The grains look wavy. Will keep you updated.
