My first experience with activated charcoal powder is when I was younger and my sister would get very bad tummy aches. My mother would give her some charcoal powder mixed in with some water and get relief in less than 30 minutes. About one year ago I started to research charcoal powder’s beauty benefits. The most important benefit I found through my research is that charcoal powder is one of the best detoxifying ingredients without drying your skin.
Activated bamboo
charcoal is made by burning pieces of bamboo at temperatures over 800 degrees
and then it is refined completely. Activated bamboo charcoal powder absorbs
odors, can purify water, and has beauty benefits too. Almost all water
purifiers for example Brita use charcoal to purify the water. Activated bamboo charcoal absorbs into the
pores on your skin & draws out the dirt and oils that are blocking the
pores. Regular use can help to eliminate
acne, bumps, and blackheads.
My first creation with activated
charcoal was a body soap called Twilight Detox which was an instant hit. Young people to active people with body acne
have had great success with this soap and the Twilight Detox Face & Body
Scrub together.
The great thing about activated
charcoal powder is it does not dry out your skin like a lot of other purifying
ingredients for example clays. It
maintains the moisture levels while deep cleaning your pores. It also helps to fight odors which is great
for the active person.
It was only supposed to be out for a few months but I decided to continue to make the Twilight Detox based on their success.Customers loved the smell so much from the Twilight Detox line that I created a perfume oil called Twilight Lust Perfume Oil. The scent is a combination of amber, vanilla, ylang ylang, frankincense, and azalea.
