JL Activated Charcoal Cleansing Bar has high absorptive powers, which means that it draws other elements into itself. Charcoal is activated through heat and exposure to steam, causing the carbon to form enlarged fissures and pockets in its surface. During cleansing, the Activated Charcoal Cleansing Bar is exposed to contaminants which are then pulled from your skin and literally become trapped in the carbon's pores.

Pulls Toxins From Pores: Charcoal and Your Skin. Your skin is a living organ, which has pores of its own. These pores, and the skin's permeable membrane, allow chemicals and toxins to pass both into and out of your body.  Applying activated charcoal to your skin, it's claimed, will remove detritus from your skin's surface and can even extract toxins from beneath the skin, according to Health 911. The antibacterial properties of charcoal can also help alleviate infections, or keep them from happening.

Key Ingredients:

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.

Ingredients: Coconut oil, palm oil, aqua, sodium palmate, sodium palm kernelate, naturally occurring glycerin, sucrose, sorbitol, olive oil, activated bamboo charcoal.
