How Can Charcoal Benefit the Skin?

Say goodbye to breakouts and dull, tired-looking skin, and hello to a revitalised, rejuvenated complexion that will have you feeling confident and beautiful. Because there’s limited scientific research on the skin benefits of activated charcoal, many of the potential benefits of a charcoal mask are based on anecdotal evidence. Formulated using a base of naturally-derived, biodegradable soft surfactants that won’t dry or strip the skin, this mild cleansing face gel offers a gentle but transformative micro-exfoliation. Made with 98 per cent naturally-derived ingredients, it unclogs pores, smoothes lumps and bumps in the skin surface and encourages a more radiant and even-toned complexion. Vegan-friendly and gentle enough to be used on a daily basis, it is powered by PHA (polyhydroxy acid), a gentle chemical exfoliant that stimulates cell renewal, aloe vera, naturally rich in minerals and skin-boosting vitamins, and Inulin, which boosts microbial hydration. An intensely hydrating and soothing, low-foaming treatment, it doesn’t damage the skin’s all-important hydrolipidic film and does a stellar job at reviving dull complexions. Because of activated charcoal’s ability to absorb bacteria and toxins in the body, some skin experts believe that a charcoal face mask can help draw impurities from the skin.
