✨ Benefits of Charcoal Soap

Activated charcoal is known for deep cleansing and detoxing the skin.  Key benefits include:

1.  Deep Pore Cleansing

Charcoal draws out dirt, oil, toxins, and impurities from the pores, leaving skin fresh and clean.

2.  Helps Control Acne & Breakouts

Its antibacterial and oil-absorbing properties help reduce pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads.

3.  Balances Oily Skin

Charcoal absorbs excess sebum, helping keep the skin matte without stripping natural moisture.

4.  Gently Exfoliates

Removes dead skin cells and smooths uneven texture.

5.  Reduces Odors

Great for underarms and feet because activated charcoal naturally eliminates odor-causing bacteria.

6.  Brightens Dull Skin

By removing buildup and toxins, the skin looks clearer and more radiant.

7.  Suitable for Combination to Oily Skin

Gentle enough for sensitive skin when paired with nourishing oils.
