Natural beauty products are all the rage at the moment and activated charcoal is the one way to take care of your skin, the natural way. Definitely one of our beauty favorites, it has many amazing benefits that you can add to your beauty routine for skin, teeth, hair and more!
Activated charcoal is basically a form of carbon processed to have small pores that make it more ‘active’ for chemical reactions or absorption. Activated charcoal has fast become a beauty best seller because it draws out impurities and toxins, making it especially good for city life!
