Why is Activated Charcoal so good for our skin?

Activated charcoal is created from carbon-rich materials burned at high temperatures – creating a chalky powder.

When you consider how health professionals administer activated charcoal to patients who have overdosed with certain drugs or have been poisoned, it is clear to see why activated charcoal can be such a super-ingredient when it comes to skin care. The fine powder is often mixed with water or other liquid and drunk by the patient as an alternative to stomach pumping, thanks to its absorbent, detoxifying qualities.

Thanks to these proven natural properties, activated charcoal has the potential to detoxify the skin by removing dirt and oil, and anecdotal findings show that it can be great for treating acne. Activated charcoal has been shown to have skin-balancing effects, as it draws out excess oils without leaving the skin dry. 

Using activating charcoal in conjunction with other nutrient-rich, nourishing ingredients like goats milk and Australian clay unlocks the many skin-enhancing benefits found in activated charcoal – making it a great addition to your all-natural skin care routine.
