50 SHADES
A seductive marriage of tainted rose and wild geranium with addictive, "can't live without it" notes of bergamot and gold amber.
MAKES A GREAT SHAVE BAR
OK, let's keep it real this bar isn't just for men. I mean come on who doesn't love a little 50 shades. We did create this bar with men in mind. It's created using activated charcoal and of course Shea Butter.
Activated Charcoal, also called activated carbon is obtained by burning natural materials such as wood, regular coal, peat or coconut husks. The source material is burned at a very high temperature to form a lightweight mass of carbonaceous charcoal. It means that all the oxygen was removed from source material through controlled oxidation and or processing by steam. Thanks to this process, the charcoal expands creating a porous surface that traps toxins. From this point, we can refer to charcoal as “activated” charcoal. Its natural ability to absorb has been boosted this way. That’s why this fine black powder has a higher efficiency and its maximum usability for the body.
- Activated charcoal draws bacteria, poisons, chemicals, dirt and other micro-particles to the surface of skin, helping you to achieve a flawless complexion and fight acne.
- Charcoal is not metabolized, adsorbed or absorbed by the body, but it can be used to treat some poisonous bites and disinfect some wounds.
- Activated charcoal powder is proven to adsorb thousands of times its own mass in harmful substances, which makes it a popular ingredient in facial products.
Kaoline Clay, helps to cleanse and exfoliate dead skin cells and debris from the surface. It adds absorbency, texture and bulk to cleansers.
-
Natural gentle exfoliator: As a gentle cleanser, kaolin removes the impurities and dirt from the skin without drying it or causing any redness or irritation.
-
Reduces oily skin: Even though white kaolin clay is not as powerful as bentonite, it is still absorbent. It pulls the excess oils from the skin and helps to balance the oil production in the long run.
-
Heals insect bites, cuts, and injuries: Whether you’re dealing with irritated skin from bug bites or red rashes, kaolin clay can soothe the problematic area. It has mild healing properties but it has been effective in treating sore muscles, minor cuts, and bruises.
-
Tones the skin: Since kaolin clay is stimulating to the skin, it can tone it and tighten it at the same time. For the best results, you need to use it long term.
Coconut oil
- Helps reduce irritation, itch and protects skin.
- Coconut contains anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties and soothes the skin without the use of harmful chemicals.
- The fatty acids help with the removal of dirt, dead skin and other skin impurities.
WARNING: Activated charcoal is black and can get messy. Your soaps will have a slight grey foam to it. If you have used products with activated charcoal in the past and they don't have a black or grey foam then there wasn't enough in it to get the benefits. Just make sure you rinse your tub or shower when you're done.
