Formulation view A soap-based cleanser using saponified olive and coconut oils, with tea water to regulate pH. Castor oil thickens the base. Suitable for oily skin deep cleansing. Formulator's note: high alkalinity may damage the barrier; pH control is critical. Coconut oil carries high comedogenic risk, so sensitive skin should avoid; lemonic acid neutralization is key.
