Why use Activated Charcoal?

Fight acne

The antibacterial and porous properties of activated charcoal draw out bacteria trapped in your pores that lead to acne breakouts.

Remove toxins

Activated charcoal leverages a phenomenon known as intermolecular force. The large surface area in activated charcoal allows it to act on other substances with these intermolecular forces. It is this phenomenon that gives activated its reputation for ejecting toxins from the body.
