The Activated Bamboo Charcoal Powder is commonly used as a topical body treatment that absorbs and removes body toxins in its tiny pores. Through the adsorption process, harmful elements bind themselves to the powder and thus prevent the re absorption of toxins into the body.
Creating a charcoal masks is easy and much cheaper than what you can purchase from a retailer.

Method
1. Measure out phase A.
2. Combine phase B to form a slurry. Add to phase A and stir through until a homogenous gel forms.
3. Heat phase A/B to 80⁰C. Combine phase C and add to phase A/B under high shear stirring and mix until all waxes are melted and a smooth, glossy, homogenous emulsion forms.
4. Allow mixture to cool under low shear stirring until <40⁰C. Add phase D and stir through under low shear until homogenous.
5. Allow to cool <25⁰C. Check/adjust final pH to 5.5 - 6. Full viscosity will be achieved the next day; do not evaluate on the day you make it. Cover and allow to set overnight; then give a final stir the next day before packing off.
