Bamboo Charcoal is produced from the rapidly growing moso bamboo. This type of bamboo can grow two feet or more in a single day, reaching a height of 60 feet in two to three months. 

Due to the growth characteristics of moso bamboo, millions of tiny holes are created as the plant densifies as it matures, a process taking approximately five years. It is these tiny holes that ultimately give the resulting bamboo charcoal its revolutionary abilities as both a deodorizer and dehumidifier. These benefits have been enjoyed for more than five centuries in Asia.

Bamboo forests are widely planted throughout Asia, and due to the resurgence in the recognition of its benefits, many more acres are planted every day. And as bamboo takes only five years from seedling to mature plant, it will be readily available for all future generations.

With proper care, your bamboo charcoal product can last up to one year. After this, and because it is a 100% natural product, it can be recycled into the ecosystem.

Benefits of Bamboo Charcoal

Bamboo Charcoal is covered in numerous miniscule holes, which make its structure highly porous. Contrasted with regular charcoal, its surface area is ten times larger. This increases its absorption capacity, which in turn quickens its rate of absorption. These qualities allow Activated Bamboo Charcoal to effectively function as a detoxifying agent when incorporated into skin care products.

Traditionally, its absorbency made Activated Charcoal popular for healthcare applications, in which it was applied to wounds and sites of infection. Reputed to be antibacterial and to make an effective detoxicant, it was thus used to help purge patients of bodily toxins. Eventually, it came to be used in cosmetics and personal care products – largely cleansers, detoxifying masks, deodorants, and whitening products – that we continue to use today. Through adsorption, Activated Bamboo Charcoal is reputed to help attract impurities, such as bacteria, dirt, dust, and oil, on the skin’s surface in order to make their removal easier. It can be applied to any preferred areas of skin, including the scalp, to address problems related to dryness, itchiness, dullness, and excessive oiliness.
