Charcoal Powder – Cosmetic Uses in Cleansing and Exfoliating Products
What Is Charcoal Powder?
Charcoal powder is a dried, carbonaceous material produced by heating organic substances. In cosmetic applications, finely powdered carbon is used primarily for its absorbent and opacifying properties.
Cosmetic Uses of Charcoal Powder
Charcoal powder can be incorporated into cosmetic formulations where its ability to adsorb substances is beneficial. It is commonly associated with cleansing products and formulations intended for skin that appears oily or congested.
Its powder form can also provide a mild abrasive effect, making it suitable for certain exfoliating products. Depending on particle size and concentration, it may be incorporated into facial cleansers, masks, scrubs and other rinse-off formulations.
