Starting the New Year with Skin Problems? Try Out these Best Activated Charcoal Soaps and See the Difference in 2021

Activated Charcoal or activated carbon is the black powder obtained by burning materials like coconut shells, wood or even sugar at extremely high heat. This process removes the water content and creates tiny holes or internal spaces in the charcoal. The substance thus derived is lightweight and highly absorbent.
