Charcoal is a natural absorbent, acting like a magnet and attaching itself to dirt and toxins, before passing them out of the skin and body in water form.
What is activated charcoal?
Activated charcoal is just a charcoal that has been heated in order to adapt its natural structure and make it further able to boost absorption.
I always love natural products, especially those that have been used for years to treat skin and boost wellness. Charcoal is an amazing multi-tasker, used on skin, hair, teeth, in water and to eliminate toxins from the body.
