Why is Charcoal in Everything?


It’s in your toothpaste, your facemask, even in your soap! What is the big deal about Charcoal?

Back in 2015 was when we first started hearing about the powers of charcoal. Since then it has spread from beauty products to our household items to our food. Everywhere we look there seems to be a hue of grey. If you’re like me, you might have gotten caught up in the trend without intending to and now somehow you have been partaking in some benefits that you have no idea what they are. I’m here to inform you how charcoal can help you in the many different forms of products we see it in today.

We’ll start at the very beginning, the birth of the charcoal trend, the toothpaste. It was hard to go on social media without seeing someone with seriously black teeth that somehow turned their teeth whiter. How does it work? According to Trust Dental Care these toothpastes are made from a form of charcoal called Activated Charcoal. Activated Charcoal has natural adhesive qualities that cause it to pick up stains from coffee, tea, wine and plaque. This same quality is why you will see this in your face masks or soap. The adhesive trait of the charcoal will be sure to pick up any excess dirt leaving your body and face squeaky clean.

A new invention where you can find this charcoal trend is in a Japanese scrubbing towel. The activating charcoal allows you to exfoliate your body from the toxins of everyday dirt and grime. There is a towel available on Amazon.com that is only $20 that has multiple textures for different extents of exfoliation.

Now for the weirdest place to find this trend, in your food. According to blogger     Dr. Axe, activated charcoal has many health benefits for the body. It alleviates bloating, helps prevent hangovers, helps digestion and even reduces high cholesterol. So, there you have it. That’s what this trend that you can’t avoid is going help you out.
