Active Ingredients

What the actives do for skin

Indicative skin benefits of the key actives in this base. Final claims should be validated against your finished-product testing and local regulations.

Activated Carbon

  • Deep cleansing — adsorbs dirt, pollutants and dead skin cells

  • Helps reduce acne and blackheads by unclogging pores and binding bacteria
  • Gently exfoliates and brightens dull skin over time

DL-Panthenol

  • Humectant that delivers deep, lasting hydration
  • Strengthens the skin barrier by boosting lipid synthesis
  • Soothing and anti-inflammatory — calms redness and itching
  • Supports wound healing and improves elasticity and smoothness

Aloe Vera Extract

  • Deep hydration and moisture retention
  • Soothes sunburn and irritated skin
  • Antibacterial action helps control acne and blemishes
  • Anti-ageing support through collagen and elastin stimulation

Applications

  • Charcoal, detox and deep-cleansing bars
  • Personal care and cosmetic brands
  • Private-label and contract manufacturing
  • Designer, artisan and gifting soaps

Processing & handling

  1. Equipment: jacketed mixer (SS 304/316) with anchor/paddle low-RPM stirrer (VFD if available); all contact parts SS 304/316.
  2. Heating: hot water, steam or hot-oil unit. Mixer must be clean and dry — sanitise with 2% formaldehyde solution if required.
  3. Add flakes to the mixer. Heat with slow stirring until the soap melts, maintaining temperature below 80 °C.
  4. Note: heating above 80 °C may turn the product translucent or opaque. Maintain moisture content — add sorbitol / glycerin if necessary.
  5. Cool the mass to 70 °C. Add colour, fragrance and additives as required (colour as per BIS, Schedule Q preferred; perfume stable at 70–80 °C).
  6. Transfer the mass to the mould or Schist cooler.
  7. Stamping: cut and stamp on a manual or automatic stamper in the desired shape, then pack in cartons or shrink wrap.
