New from SpecChem is SpecKare CAC: activated carbon from coconut shells.
The soft, black substance is made by heating carbon-containing substances (like coconut) in a restricted amount of air.
The activated charcoal is non-toxic and tasteless with a large surface area; it can absorb 100-200 times its own weight.
Cosmetic applications include oral products, where it helps whiten teeth and promote good oral health; skin care, due to its ability to reduce the appearance of pores, acne and acne scars; and oil and odour control.
SpecKare CAC is 100% natural, sustainable and COSMOS approved.
