What’s best for your body is one thing—but what about what’s best for Mother Earth? Bamboo Bar soaps are superior to liquid soaps, because they require less packaging and eliminate the need for plastic. They last longer, and are made without any chemicals that might be damaging to the environment.
Bamboo charcoal does wonders to purify the skin by cleansing it of dirt, drawing impurities from deep within your pores. Gentle yet effective, Bamboo Charcoal works especially well to clean and care for oily, combination and blemish-prone skin types.
Bamboo charcoal dates back to the Ming Dynasty. Chinese healers used what they called “the black diamond” to formulate medicines and filter water for tea. The charcoal also “sweetened” the tea by infusing minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and potassium.
Activated charcoal has high absorptive powers, which means that it draws other elements into itself. Charcoal is activated through heat and exposure to steam and certain chemicals. When it is exposed to contaminants, they literally become trapped in the carbon’s pores. Charcoal also has antibacterial properties that can help heal wounds.
