Ever picked up a bar of soap that’s deep black and thought, “What is this black stuff?” That eye-catching color comes from a powerful natural ingredient—activated charcoal—and it’s making waves in skincare for a reason.
At Grizzly Bars, we harness the detoxifying power of activated charcoal in our artisan soaps to bring you a deeper, fresher clean with every wash. If you’re ready to upgrade your shower game with something bold, rugged, and skin-loving, keep reading.
So, What Is Activated Charcoal?
Activated charcoal isn’t just regular charcoal. It’s made from natural materials like wood or coconut shells, heated at high temperatures to make it extremely porous. These pores give activated charcoal its superpower—it acts like a magnet for dirt, oil, and toxins.
This means when it’s used in skincare (like in soap), it can:
- Draw out impurities from your skin
- Absorb excess oil
- Gently exfoliate dead skin cells
- Help fight acne and clogged pores
In short, it’s nature’s deep cleanser.
