Turns out activated charcoal is nothing new; in fact, Posh has been using it pretty much since day 1 for its detoxifying benefits, especially for oily skin and clogged pores. Here’s how it’s made:
Step 1: Coconuts are harvested and separated (we use all parts of the coconut), then the shells, or husks, are burned at very high temperatures with very little oxygen. The resulting product is charcoal (yes, like the kind you grill with).
Step 2: Charcoal is then purified with steam to remove any residual debris. This process creates tiny cavities, which activates charcoal and increases its absorbency, allowing it to act like a magnet that holds 2000 times its weight in dirt, toxins, and impurities when used on skin.
If you wish your skin was 2,000 times cleaner, start using activated charcoal as part of your skincare routine!
