Activated Charcoal Bath Soap

Description

You’ve probably seen charcoal used in hangover pills, hair products, and even toothpaste. Activated Charcoal has become a very popular ingredient—and with good reason. It has many capabilities and health benefits, from absorbing toxins in your GI tract to brightening your complexion.

Activated Charcoal is charcoal that’s been treated to become highly porous and absorbent. The “activation” occurs when oxygen is introduced to charcoal at high temperatures to alter its internal structure and increase its surface area. Charcoal has a negative molecular charge which allows it to bind with positively charged liquids and gasses. This fact combined with the large porous surface area created by activating it makes it especially effective at absorbing large amounts of toxins.

We use our activated Charcoal  in the form of powder and can be added to foods, skincare products, capsules, and more. Unlike the charcoal you burn in a grill, Activated Charcoal is not harmful to humans when ingested. In fact, it’s used in emergency rooms to absorb drugs and toxins in the bloodstream. It also has uses beyond the body, such as being able to clean water of heavy metals, insecticides, and herbicides.

What Is Special About Charcoal Soap? 

First, a simple definition: charcoal soap is any soap that uses Activated Charcoal as an ingredient. At Casa Di Fredo we  typically grind our charcoal into a powder and mix with non toxic natural cleansing agents, which in turn creates a product that cleanses and absorbs impurities.

How Does Activated Charcoal Soap Help Skin?

Activated Charcoal is one of the most versatile ingredients you can put into skincare products. It’s most often used to address breakouts, dull skin, and premature signs of aging, though it can even be recommended for Eczema and Psoriasis. Activated Charcoal’s versatility and effectiveness have earned it a strong reputation in the skincare industry as a powerful ingredient.

When it comes to breakouts, Activated Charcoal is able to draw unwanted gunk from your skin, whether that be oil, dirt, product buildup, pollutants, or bacteria. By extracting these impurities out of your pores, it’s able to not only clear up and prevent breakouts, but also minimize pore size and visibility with use over time.
