Benefits of Activated Bamboo Charcoal for Your Skin!
Treat your skin to a deep pore cleanse! Activated charcoal has high absorptive powers, which means that it draws other elements into itself. When it is exposed to contaminants, they literally become trapped in the carbon’s pores. JL Activated Charcoal Cleansing Bar is completely natural. Soaps that are on the shelves in stores around the world today have so many chemicals and unnatural ingredients that aren’t the best for your skin. Chemicals and filler ingredients can be found in your soaps, shampoos, conditioners, hair products, and many other products we depend on everyday. Astute consumers are starting to look to alternatives and want to use more natural products on their bodies. Using natural products like the JL Activated Charcoal Cleansing Bar for example, will benefit everyone in the household health-wise.
The list of benefits of activated bamboo charcoal soap is rather impressive.
- Activated Bamboo Charcoal can absorb minerals, toxins, impurities, and other harmful substances from your skin, leaving you with stronger, healthier skin.
- It can act as a natural exfoliant to remove dead skin cells.
- Activated Bamboo Charcoal is an effective, natural treatment for acne.
- The bamboo charcoal in our soap makes it more absorbent than normal soaps and as a result it can clean deep inside the skin pores, cleaning better than normal soap.
- Normal soaps leave a residue on the skin that stops the pores breathing properly and stopping the body’s natural moisturizers from working on acne skin. JL Activated Charcoal Cleansing Bar is different. It leaves no residue on the skin and so allows the pores to breathe and be naturally moisturized.
- The skin under the eyes is more tender than our other facial skin. As a result, when dirt collects in the pores of under eye skin it starts to sag with weight and we begin to look old. Activated bamboo charcoal soap gets down deep into the pores in the under eye skin properly clearing them of dirt which ultimately prevents sagging. As a result you look younger. Win!
- Another use for activated bamboo charcoal soap is to treat eczema, psoriasis and dry cracked skin. Activated charcoal helps kill bacteria and bamboo charcoal cleans the skin thoroughly and allows the body’s natural moisturizers to work effectively on eczema and psoriasis.
- Bamboo is not only antibacterial but also anti-viral, anti-fungal and antimicrobial. As a result activated bamboo charcoal soap is ideal for people who are exposed to or battle fungal, viral and other bacteria based problems of the skin.

KNOW HOW JL ACTIVATED CHARCOAL CLEANSING BAR WORKS
The surface area to weight ratio of bamboo charcoal is 600:1. This means that 1 gram of bamboo charcoal has a surface area of 600 square meters. This is because of the presence of the C60 carbon molecule that is a ball shape. After the bamboo is harvested, it is “carbonized” at extremely hot temperatures to increase its surface area to weight ratio to 1,200:1. The result is called activated carbon or activated bamboo charcoal. Even more effective at drawing out pollutants “activated” bamboo charcoal that has been pulverized and steamed gives JL Activated Charcoal Cleansing Bar a wider surface area and thereby enabling it to absorb a higher volume of bacteria, toxins, and micro-particles.
Bamboo is a very sustainable resource. Contrary to popular belief, bamboo is not actually a tree, it is a type of grass. Bamboo is the fastest growing woody plant in the world (fully mature at the 6-7 year mark). Because it is a grass, when you cut down the stalks, it will just regrow from the existing root structure. That makes bamboo a very sustainable and environmentally friendly resource.
When soap is made with activated bamboo charcoal it makes a soap that is very absorbent and that is capable of cleaning the skin much better than any other soap.
Coconut oil- Is a moisturizer, antibiotic, multivitamin, multi-nutrient, nourishing, anti-aging, anti wrinkle and anti-oxidant – All in one! And completely natural too! Coconut oil contains mostly fats, so it acts as an emollient for your skin and provides a softening and soothing effect. As an added bonus, coconut oil further improves the quality and appearance of skin since it helps eliminate dead skin cells. Coconut oil nourishes the skin and helps prevent premature aging and degenerative diseases due to its remarkable properties.
Olive Oil- Olive oil contains four major antioxidants which allow it to work as a cleanser, moisturizer, and protector of skin. Among these antioxidants are Vitamin A and Vitamin E. Vitamin E partly accounts for the anti-aging benefits of this substance because it helps restore skin elasticity.
Several other antioxidants contribute to olive oil benefits for skin. Polyhenols and phytosterols neutralize the free radicals that cause so much skin damage in the human population. One of these antioxidants, Hydroxytyrosol, is a rather rare compound that happens to be plentiful in olive oil. It is one of the key compounds that helps prevent free radical damage.
The skin benefits of olive oil are numerous; it penetrates deeply into the skin without clogging pores—something a lot of commercial skin moisturizers due as an unfortunate side effect of their action. Olive oil is different. It moistens skin so thoroughly that it is often used as a remedy for any type of skin condition such as eczema or psoriasis that creates patches of dry skin. Many women use it for stretch mark therapy after giving birth to a child, and many others use it to treat blemishes that often appear on the skin.
Another one of olive oil’s benefits for skin is its usefulness as an exfoliator. The deep penetrating action of the oil will remove dead skin cells and leave the epidermis looking renewed and often glowing.
Activated Bamboo Charcoal- What Can Bamboo Charcoal Do for Your Skin?
Believe it or not, applying a little soot to your skin can leave it cleaner than ever. In fact, charcoal, that ol’ barbecue staple, is almost as essential to a healthy complexion as it is to a proper backyard cookout. JL Activated Charcoal Cleansing Bar calls upon charcoal made from bamboo, for its power to absorb impurities and toxins. Here’s what you need to know about this super ingredient.
The most effective at drawing out pollutants is what’s known as “activated” bamboo charcoal—charcoal that has been pulverized and steamed, giving it a wider surface area and thereby enabling it to absorb a higher volume of bacteria, toxins, and micro-particles.
Because of its capacity for drawing out filth from pores (without being absorbed itself), activated bamboo charcoal is a key ingredient for a natural, deep pore cleanser.
