Activated charcoal is a versatile and special substance. It is made from coconut husks, which have been heated to make coal, after which oxygen has been added. Because the individual pieces are so ultra-fine (this is called micro-porosity), the activated carbon is able to absorb hundreds of different substances from your skin.

The result? An effective agent that you can use to cleanse your skin and whiten your teeth.

Application

• Mix with coconut oil or water and use as a whitening toothpaste. You can also mix it with your normal toothpaste.
