Charcoal soaps and body washes help to detoxify the skin and remove impurities. They can also help control body odor by absorbing sweat and toxins.
Cosmetics
Activated charcoal is sometimes used in eyeliners and mascaras to provide a deep, rich color. It can also be used in foundations and concealers for its oil-absorbing properties.
Deodorants
Activated charcoal is used in natural deodorants to absorb moisture and neutralize odor without the use of harsh chemicals.
