Works wonders in my acne/facial products. I use it in my cp soaps too by adding it to the water phase. takes a while to blend but well worth the benefits.

Oh my, this is a new favorite for me! I added it at 0.5% to my facial moisturizer and I'm in love with the results. The gentle cleaning up of my pores has cleared my pimples and sped up the healing of older ones. Yay! The only downside is the fragrance.
