These raw materials are heated to very high temperatures, under specific conditions of oxygen concentration. The result of this process is a microporous material, activated carbon, which has the following properties:
▪ It is highly absorbent, which, together with its porosity, makes it an interesting ingredient to eliminate impurities and toxins.
▪ It is slightly abrasive, yet gentle enough to be used on the skin.
▪ It is antibacterial and detoxifying.
