Mix well, until all the activated charcoal is fully dissolved.

Fleck into the soap mold cavities in a random pattern. Keep it in tiny clumps.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-5\">Sprinkle glitter in the soap molds. Lighter tones would be better against black. Use 2-3 complementary colors in each cavity. Enjoy!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>While we did use flecks of cosmetic pigment powder in addition to the glitter to create the galaxy effect of this charcoal soap. \u00a0The pigment powder could be skipped without altering the results too much. \u00a0We would say, if you are just making this as an isolated project and not into further soap craft projects, skip it. \u00a0If you have some or desire to make more soaps, then use or invest in the pigment. Pigment powders do seem to add a richer color to soaps than liquid\/gel dyes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In addition to being an excellent detoxifying component for bath products, activated charcoal also makes an exceptional deep black color when used in little amounts.
