The Black Brazillian Clay incorporated easily into my soap batter without leaving any chunks or spots in my soap. I dispersed it in warm distilled water to make it easier to blend into my soap. It did not speed up trace. The soap has a luxurious feel, color is gorgeous, and does not create a gray lather. I highly recommend it. 😊

I love using this as a body detox mask, a bath additive, but I tend to steer away from this as a part of my face care routine only because it has a bit of a staining factor if you’re in a rush. Staining can be addressed with oil and moisturizing, but again if you’re in a rush, I would opt for the pink or yellow!
