Activated Charcoal

About

Activated charcoal is basically powdered carbon. Heating charcoal activates it, making it expand and become more porous and adsorbing in nature. Adsorption, not absorption, is a form of electrical attraction that pulls toxins or other particles towards it but does not stick or combine with them. It is a popular detox agent and is also extremely popular in the beauty industry. Used often in toothpaste as a teeth whitening agent, used in deodorants and creams as an anti-fungal, anti-odour, and anti-bacterial. It can be used in eyeliners and also in anti-ageing face masks. Charcoal Bricks or burnt pieces of food? Oh no! Don’t get confused, making activated charcoal involves heating carbon-rich materials, such as wood, peat, coconut shells, or sawdust to a very high temperature making it extremely absorbent, allowing it to bind to molecules, ions, or atoms resulting in removal of impurities.
