Let’s chat about activated charcoal.
Ahhh, when it comes to natural beauty remedies it seems like there is always something new on the market.
We’ve seen activated charcoal just about everywhere in the media and now it’s popping up in all of our beauty products because of its amazing benefits.
Activated charcoal is basically a form of carbon processed to have small pores that make it more active for chemical reactions or absorption. Activated charcoal is known to draw out impurities and toxins whether that be for skin, hair, or teeth.
