I'm a chemical Engineer that likes to make homemade soap (Love that retained Glycerin!) I have been making a special premium soap using Tepezcohuite Root Bark powder. You might like to try it out!
I call it Mayan Magic Soap. Everything is in Oz by wgt.
Extremely popular and Effective. While the research on Tepezcohuite is avaliable from many web sources - true or not, one thing is certain from personal testing and those that use this soap from me - all agree it's a fantastic Body Soap.
Overview: Source: Web The benefits of powdered tepezcohuite skin bark are currently being studied at university and private laboratories all over the world for its healing effects on burns, scars and other chronic skin conditions. Research supports the traditional uses. The bark is known to be rich in tannins, saponins, alkaloids, lipids, phytosterols, glucosides, xylose, rhamnose, arabinose, lupeol, methoxychalcones and kukulkanins. In vitro studies have shown three times more bacteriocidal activity on bacterial cultures than streptomycin.
Currently powdered tepezcohuite is the main ingredient in hundreds of wellness products worldwide including shampoos, soaps, lotions and skin creams for acne, herpes, eczema and psoriasis.
The Recipe (ozs)
Coconut 12.2
Olive 18.0
Castor 2.3
Almond, Sweet 4.5
Emu 3.2
Palm 4.5
Steric Acid 1.8
Lye (7% discount) 6.4
Aloe Vera Liquid 15.4
Vitamin E (oz) 0.6 (30,000 IU dispersed in Soy, Wheat, Jojoba oil - slight superfat)
Yogurt Pwdr 1.0 (Conditioning Agent)
Tepezcohuite Pwdr 2.0
Optiphen 1.5 (preservative)
Titanium Dioxide Pwdr 0.4
Calendula Pwdr 0.5 (Soothing - skin calming agent)
Sodium Lactate 1.2 (Firmness)
Frag Oil 2.3
The soap recipe will produce firm bars with a very conditioning and skin soothing lather having plenty of creamy bubbles. Tepezcohuite will serve as a microabrasion cleanser. I use a fragrance called Black Linen & Amber, but many prefer a Spearmint/Peppermint/Eucalyptus type EO/FO for a medicinal fragrance. EMU oil is for penetration into deeper epidermal layers.
1. Mix Lye and Aloe Liquid thoroughly, allow to cool to 100°F – 110°F using all safety precautions. Add Sodium Lactate (for firmness). Use a good quality refined Aloe fluid like George's 100% Aloe.
2. In a separate container(s), while lye mixture cools, melt the palm, Steric Acid flakes, and coconut oils. Blend with soft oils. Add Yogurt Powder and mix thoroughly. Cool to ~110°F
3. Mix the Calendula Powder, Titanium Dioxide (For a paler, whiter bar), Tepezcohuite powders together. NOTE: If you are using water disperable Titantium Dioxide, add it to the Lye/Aloe fluid with the Sodium Lactate.
4. Measure out the rest of the ingredients for stand-by (Vitamin E, Optiphen, Fragrance).
5. Slowly add the Lye mixture to the oils and hand stir when Lye solution and oils are between 100-110°F. They should be ±5°F of each other if possible. Use a stick blender for 15-30 secs. This soap will trace quickly so pay attention. At the first signs of trace, add the powders and Fragrances/preservatives. Mix thoroughly and pour into molds. A log mold is recommended.
6. Insulate lightly, and allow to harden for 36-48 hrs before removing and cutting.
7. Allow to cure for 3-4 weeks before use.
