Charcoal Range

Who would have thought that something as simple as activated charcoal would rule our bathroom shelves because of its cleansing and skin-purifying power? But that's exactly what it's done. It's become the best friend for a guy's skin and we just discovered it a few years back! We'll go into more details but first, what exactly is activated charcoal, and how on earth does something like that do wonders for our skin?

Let's start with the complex part first. Charcoal is said to be activated when it is heated at a high temperature (around 800-1000°C) in the presence of an activating agent like steam or carbon dioxide.

This burning process dehydrates the charcoal and creates tiny pores on the charcoal's surface, making it highly adsorbent and hence the term "Activated Charcoal".

Now, let's talk about the interesting part. Activated charcoal has the super power to go 5X deeper than regular cleansing agents and has 10X more adsorption power that pulls dirt and skin impurities better than anything else. But, it's not just limited to that, there's more to it. Here are a few more benefits of activated charcoal for you.
