facial soap for oily skin

[yumie]

Hi, hoegarden

Really??? There are a lots of soap ingredients selling in Taiwan??? I'm planning to visit my friends with lots of my soaps soon, so I will look for unique things! Do you have any store information by any chance??

Drop coconut oil% sounds reasonable. I will try. Thank you.

After I've got an advice of adding activated charcoal, I actually made an experiment of adding bamboo charcoal powder. I hope it works.

Hi, andoy

Yes... They really don't like the fact that my soaps leaves a lots of oil. I made an experiment of low superfat (5%). I'll see what they say about that soap.

I'll try both 20% and 25% of coconut oil tomorrow.

Castor oil. I've tried to replace 3% of sesame oil before, and I didn't see any differences... So I decided not to use it any more... But since you recommend, I'll try 20% coconut oil+7or8% of caster oil tomorrow.

Pomace... I don't like to use olive oil too much because it takes soooooooooooooo long, but maybe I'll buy that oil+try in the future...

I think hoegarden is mentioning bamboo charcoal powder, not bamboo powder. I hope you can find it there.

Hi Yumie, yes. there is a local brand that went famous and selling overseas. i got various soaping books from soapers in taiwan as well.

which part of taiwan will you be going? I have some suppliers that I found online previously. I only been to the one in TaiChung to get my supplies. The address will be in chinese though. Let me know if you are interested and I can share it with you. I have information on other areas, perhaps you have to see which one is nearer to where you visiting.

Yeap. I meant bamboo charcoal powder here.

But there is bamboo powder for soaping. But for exfoliating purposes. It is very fine and gentle to skin. A nice additives in soap too. But hard to find in my area and shipping is expensive (the powder price is quite okay, but shipping~~ :cry:. )

Hi, hoegarden

I'll go to Taipei for 10days. I think I have enough time to travel around, I can even go to TaiChung to pick up things. My friend said that they will take me around and help me translating. So please tell me the address! Chinese writing is better than Pinyin. Thank you , thank you, thank you!!!

I use French Green in some of my soaps and it works great for oily skin.
