Performance & Formulation Insights for Charcoal F79
How Activated Charcoal Beads Work
Charcoal F79 utilizes a dual-action mechanism for superior purification. First, the bead structure provides gentle physical exfoliation upon application, helping to slough away dead skin cells and surface debris. As the beads break, they release activated bamboo charcoal. Activated charcoal possesses an extremely large, porous surface area that functions through adsorption. This powerful property allows it to electrostatically attract and bind impurities, metabolic waste, excess sebum, and environmental toxins to its surface, effectively trapping and removing them from the skin, scalp, or teeth. The result is a deeply cleansed, clarified, and refreshed feel after rinse-off.
Formulation Guidelines
Charcoal F79 is designed for easy incorporation into rinse-off products such as facial washes, body washes, masks, and clarifying shampoos. Use at 1–5% depending on the desired level of exfoliation and visual impact. To maintain bead integrity, add during the cool-down phase with slow, gentle mixing. The beads are engineered to soften in aqueous systems and remain intact until application, ensuring the charcoal is released at the moment of use. They are stable across a broad pH range typical for cosmetic formulations (pH 5–9).
