CHARCOAL SOAP
The Healing Earth Charcoal soap is a handmade soap enriched with the activated charcoal. Activated charcoal is the latest ‘detox’ trend. It’s typically made from carbon-containing material, like wood, that is heated at high temperatures to create charcoal, then oxidised – a process known as “activation”.Activated charcoal has lots of small holes on its surface, increasing its surface area and making it more porous. It’s this sponge-like property that allows activated charcoal to soak up a variety of chemicals.
Activated charcoal has been used in emergency medicine for the treatment of drug overdose or accidental poisoning for a long time. It binds with certain drugs or poisons, reducing their absorption in the gut and minimising the detrimental effects on the patient.
Activated charcoal is highly effective at drawing out various types of toxins such as bacteria, various types of chemicals, dirt, and similar type of particles. When used on the skin, individuals immediately notice a clear, flawless complexion free from excess oil, acne, and other common skin problems. This is why it is quickly becoming one of the newest trends in the beauty industry and beautification techniques for the skin.
