Cleansing Charcoal Facial Scrub DIY



Leave your skin feeling smooth with this Charcoal and Clay Face Scrub. Made with a liquid soap base, it has a gentle lather. Additional tamanu oil and hazelnut oil are added because of their amazing skin benefits. In particular, they are great for oily skin types. If you prefer different oil for your skin, feel free to swap them out. Just keep in mind it may change the consistency a bit!

The Natural Castile Liquid Soap Base is made exclusively from olive oil, resulting in a very mild soap. It has a light lather and gentle cleansing properties so it’s suitable for delicate facial skin. If you have extremely dry skin, this recipe may not be the best as it contains kaolin clay and charcoal, which may be drying. Decreasing the amount of kaolin clay and charcoal may help make it suitable for dry skin types; a small test batch may help you find the right ratio for you.

Recipe type: Face Scrub
Serves: 6 jars

Ingredients
  • Six 4 oz. Jars
  • 10 oz. Natural Castile Liquid Soap Base
  • 6 oz. Hazelnut Oil
  • 0.5 oz. Tamanu Oil
  • 11 oz. Kaolin Clay
  • 4 oz. White Jojoba Beads – Medium
  • 0.3 oz. Activated Charcoal
  • 3 mL Tea Tree Essential Oil
  • 0.1 oz. Optiphen
  • Dropper

Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, add the Natural Castile Liquid Soap Base, hazelnut and tamanu oil. Stir until completely combined. The mixture will take on a milky appearance.
  2. Add the tea tree essential oil and Optiphen. Stir in completely.
  3. In a separate container, whisk together the kaolin clay, activated charcoal and jojoba beads until completely combined.
  4. Add the clay mixture into the liquid mixture in about 3-4 batches. Use a whisk to completely mix in. Adding the dry ingredients in batches helps prevent the dry ingredients from "poofing" up. Continue mixing until completely combined with no clumps. Pour the scrub into jars and seal with the lid.
  5. When you’re ready to use, apply a small amount of the scrub to wet skin. Use gentle circular motions to scrub and wash the face. Avoid the immediate eye area. Rinse off. Follow with moisturizer, or other skin care. Enjoy!
