Charcoal Powder
Exfoliant
Exfoliants help remove dead skin cells and may aid in unclogging pores, smoothing rough skin, and help to increase hydration of skin.
Acne Fighter
Some ingredients target acne through different mechanisms: killing bacteria, unclogging pores, or reducing oil production. They can support clearer skin over time, but consistency and patience are key - especially since everyone's skin responds differently. For severe or persistent acne, combine with professional dermatological care.
Good for Oily Skin
Oily skin is largely determined by genetics, but factors like stress, hormones, and humidity can also play a role. Some ingredients are commonly used to help manage excess oil and keep shine in check, without stripping the skin.
Explained
Charcoal powder comes from grounded charcoal. Charcoal can originate from peat, bamboo, coal, wood, coconut shell, or petroleum.
This ingredient has absorbent properties, making it great at absorbing oil.
