Active Ingredients

ACTIVE CHARCOAL

Activated charcoal absorbs impurities, respecting the natural layer of skin cells. It penetrates the skin and removes all toxic elements, dirt, dead cells and grease, while reducing the appearance of blackheads or pimples.

Activated charcoal is a fine, black, odourless powder obtained by heating charcoal with gas at high temperatures. It is then treated with oxygen, which helps to drain and increase its porosity and facilitates its subsequent pulverisation.

Black charcoal, or activated charcoal, is therefore an ideal ingredient and a key ingredient in many beauty products. One of the major advantages of activated charcoal is that it absorbs impurities but respects the cell layer. It has antibacterial and antifungal properties.

Fungal infections are common infections caused by fungi, which usually appear at times when the body’s defences are very low. The antibacterial properties destroy or prevent the growth of bacteria.

Another benefit of black charcoal is that it does not cause irritation. It can even relieve them, because it has a decongestant effect on the skin. It is also very effective for the healing of small skin lesions. Skin lesions have to be treated with care and black charcoal is an ingredient that cares for the skin, respects it and treats it with care, leaving it neither red nor irritated.

Although it never penetrates the skin, activated charcoal removes oil, any kind of toxic elements, dirt and pollution residues. And while it does all that, it also greatly reduces existing blackheads and blackheads. It gives the skin elasticity and radiance; however, it is not recommended as a treatment for acne.

Depending on the ingredients activated charcoal is mixed with, the effect you will get when you apply it will be different. It can be a softening, moisturising, deep cleansing, exfoliating, oxygenating, detoxifying and purifying effect. In some cases, black charcoal can have a lightening effect and even favour the depigmentation of some spots caused by the sun, age or hormonal changes.

What is certain and guaranteed is that activated charcoal has great benefits for the skin and covers many of its needs. Among them, we can highlight those that allow you to fight against urban pollution and give your skin a deep cleansing, as the activated charcoal absorbs impurities, but always respecting the cellular layer of your skin.

After using this sponge, it is highly recommended to apply warm water on the skin of the face, to finish cleaning any remaining product and to finish relaxing the skin and fixing all the properties of the activated charcoal.  After using this sponge, it is advisable to use a moisturising cream specific to your skin type to enhance the benefits of using the konjac sponge.

These are the magnificent properties of black charcoal for the skin, a product that should be present in any basic beauty routine, as it completes its effectiveness when accompanied by other products. Gels, make-up removal lotions, serums and moisturising creams, together with black charcoal, should form part of a daily beauty and care routine that the skin will appreciate so that it looks healthier, softer, moisturised and illuminated.
