review on diatomaceous earth and black salt soap

It looks vicious really. I mean some of the salt went in to to a leaky phase at first and now it has dried in to little salt hills all over it. When you first wash with it it feels like it might be rough on the bod babe, but it isn't. It is slick at first and then gives you some lather. Some lather because olive oil, isn't quick to give much to begin with. I only added a little bit of coconut oil (cold pressed organic) and the rest is all fossil powder. I never planned it to be a charcoal based soap but it turns out the salt I put in it is loaded with it.
Diatomaceous Earth is really rich in silica and it turns out that our bodies are too. Our hair and teeth and nails all are silica based and life cannot exist without it.

  1. that is when the salt is adjusting itself in the soap while absorbing the water..sometimes it leaks a little and then finally settles itself in there.
