Activated Charcoal

The Word is out: activated charcoal rocks!

I'm sure you've heard the buzz, activated charcoal is everywhere and for good reason, too. Not just the latest skin craze, activated charcoal has been around for centuries dating back as far as times of ancient Egyptians when uses for charcoal included deodorizing and preserving the dead, or anti-bacterial and anti-fungal uses like preventing rot in wood construction in wet and moist areas. In research of Phoenician trading ships dating back to 450 BC drinking water was stored in charred wooden barrels to preserve and purify the water during long journeys. These days activated charcoal has been a major component in the skincare industry (we love this ingredient in our Stay Woke: Activated Charcoal & Coconut Milk bar) providing these 5 amazing benefits: anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties, deep pore cleansing, oil-balancing, and gentle exfoliation to the skin therefore giving the overall effect of a more smooth and refined appearance.
