Question
How should Activated Carbon be used in formulations, specifically regarding its solubility in water and the recommended usage percentage when adding it to bar soap?
Answer
Activated Carbon is not water-soluble and should be dispersed in the formula. When adding it to bar soap, you can add it at any step where you can mix it well to ensure it is dispersed. There is no specific usage rate for Activated Carbon, as it can be used from 1% to 100%. It is recommended to start experimenting with 2-3% and adjust the amount based on your desired result.
