All about Activated Charcoal by Sophie

What is Activated Charcoal?
It is Charcoal that is Heated to a high temperature and then treated with chemicals or gases which causes the charcoal to expand and increasing its absorption power, which helps rid your body of toxins and excess oils on your skin.

Activated Charcoal for Teeth whitening
Activated Charcoal when used in toothpaste or powder absorbs bacteria, plaque and stains from teeth and gums. It is super effective at whitening your teeth and it can also help prevent bad breath, cavities and even gum disease.

Activated Charcoal not only acts like a magnet to remove dirt, oil and impurities from your skin but it also removes toxins which helps prevent ageing and keeping your skin glowing and healthy.
