Pumice in Cold Process Soap
Pumice Powder is a favorite in cold process soap formulations because of its gentle exfoliating properties. It is typically added at mid-trace to avoid sinking, and formulators often pre-mix it with oils to ensure an even spread throughout the soap. Fine or extra-fine pumice is commonly used to provide mild exfoliation, while coarse pumice is reserved for heavy-duty soaps like mechanic’s bars.
It is recommended to use between 1% and 10% of pumice in cold process soap, depending on the desired exfoliation level. Pumice doesn’t significantly affect lather but can add a slightly rougher texture. However, it works beautifully when combined with other exfoliants like poppy seeds or ground walnut shells for a more varied effect.
