Description
Our Activated Bamboo Charcoal Face Wash harnesses the adsorptive power of bamboo charcoal—renowned for its porous micro-structure that binds excess sebum, dirt, and environmental pollutants—to detoxify pores without irritation. Calcium-balanced surfactants like sodium lauryl sarcosinate ensure effective cleansing, while glycerin and propylene glycol maintain skin hydration and barrier function “Activated charcoal benefits for your skin” Medical News Today.
Glycolic acid, a low-molecular-weight alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA), accelerates natural cell turnover by “weakening” intercellular cohesion within the stratum corneum, leading to uniform exfoliation of dead cells without compromising barrier integrity Glycolic acid mode of action PubMed. This dual action refines fine lines, evens tone, and stimulates collagen synthesis for long-term skin resilience.
