When we think of charcoal, our mind doesn’t necessarily jump to beauty. Perhaps, you may have used it to sketch, but more commonly, we know charcoal burns clean under the grill and eases an upset stomach.
New to ABC, our apothecary line utilizes charcoal’s array of benefits with its detoxifying properties for the skin, body and environment.
The core ingredient of our collection, Japanese white charcoal, known as binchō-tan, dates back to the early 1600′s. Today, it is still thoroughly refined in traditional fashion by steaming at high temperatures of about 1000 degrees Celsius.
