Disclaimer: I will always post my recipes in percentages. If you are familiar with SoapCalc you should be able to use the information I give you to get the lye, water, and oil weights for your specific soap mold.

The making of this soap was sparked by my friend who is struggling with skin mites. She was talking to me about sulfur soap and asked me if I could make her some. I have been making soap for over 10 years but I have not heard of sulfur in soap outside of popular shampoo brand Sulfur8. Her request sent me on a quest to find out more. Sulfur’s benefits include anti-microbial properties, anti-inflammatory properties, exfoliation, a drying effect that also helps to regulate sebum, it’s easy to use in soap form and last but not least it is toxic to mites. Sulfur is also helpful to those suffering from acne issues and itchy scalp.
