The European Cosmetic Toiletry and Perfumery Association recommends that Tea Tree Oil should not be used in cosmetic products in a way that results in a concentration greater than 1% oil being applied to the body.

SCCP (Scientific Committee on Consumer Products), Opinion on tea tree oil, 16 December 2008 -
This is from the Opinion:
Tea Tree Oil is a skin sensitiser. Skin sensitisation may also be enhanced by irritancy. Neat
Tea Tree Oil and certain formulations at concentrations of 5% or more can induce skin and
eye irritation.
Based on clinical data, the current use levels of TTO are shown to induce contact allergy.I would suggest you to make the product and try it. Frankly, I would not want to have that much Tea Tree oil close to my eyes and nose.
Also, I would not want to clean the bathroom after rinsing 7% of charcoal

Oils don’t mix with water. Your product will separate in one minute.
You need to learn how to make emulsion so you can mix water and oil.

That’s why I’m not adding water to it

Please try to make 50 or 100 grams of the product and review it.
I have never worked with Bentonite clay so not sure how it behaves.Although I think your product will be too runny (no thickener, unless bentonite will thicken it?), sticky (honey) and messy (charcoal).
-
So what is the other 20% of product then?
Also you can not mix honey, bentonite & charcoal with oils. These are water soluble.

I will do that and give review

I want to throw in that it is quite Problematik to Mix Oils and Bentonite or Clay they absorb the oil very intensely and then will not have the Capability to do what they need to do on the skin. You use Clay in an Anti-acne mask because of the fact that the Sebum that is produced by the skin is food for the bacteria that cores the acne and you want to remove that oil from the skin so that the bacteria don’t have enough to eat to grow. although the clay absorbs the Bacteria from the skin if it is already full of oil it can not do that.
You should be oil-free normally if you add oil to such a product it will only lead to more clay needed to absorb Sebum and Bacteria from the skin. Although The caracole will do the same as the clay so you put in 2 ingredients for the same effect. of course, if you want it to be black you can use 0,5 % of Carcole to get it black and let the rest be done by the clay it is more cost-efficient I would guess.
Adding tee Trea oil you can do that in small concentrations to get the claims out of it or the Indication that people expect out of it.
Although you need to be very careful with the Therm “Acne” acne is a medical condition and therefore you can not make a Cosmetic product with that claim it would be a medical product.
I would suggest a Formulation like :
Water: 50 %
xantan gum 0.4-0.9 %
Kaolin / Clay 10%
Glycerin 3-5 %
0.3% Tea Tree oil
Cetyl alcohol 2-4%
Emulsifier for Rinsoff quality (Something that is very good as a self-emulsifing system)
if you wanna use honey you can but it can lead to Product Issues over Different years of Collection due to changes in wax and Suger Content.Conservation. ( don’t use Potasiumsorbate you need too much of t and it will make some faces red after occlusive application for several minutes)
hope that helps.

Thank you
God bless you -
Here is the new development on my detox face mask :
I used my aqua at 50%
xanthan gum 0.5%
honey 1.7%
glycerine 5%
Activated charcoal 10%
Clay 30%
teatree oil
silky wax 2%
Preservativeso I noticed it was thick but not thick like that, and the after washing it off the face , it felt like there was oil which am thinking is because of the honey .
But apart from that , it was great .I did not check the ph tho or am I supposed to check ???? -
depends on Preservative use and in general its good to know if you have a ph shift during stability testing
