It might seem counterintuitive to wash your skin with a charcoal soap, but don't worry, charcoal is great for your skin. Strange as it may seem activated charcoal does wonders to brighten the complexion and cleanse pores.
For over 10,000 years Charcoal has been used in Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine to detox the body. It works by binding to toxins and chemicals in the skin, deeply penetrating pores and capturing dirt and grime so you can easily wash them away. This means the topical use of charcoal can be effective for pore decongestion, making it excellent for oily, blemish prone skin.
Wild Sage & Co have combined it with Palmarosa and Grapefruit essential oils, a cleansing and antioxidant rich blend of essential oils to help skin retain its natural moisture. You can use this soap as part of your daily routine for face, hands and body.
Wild Sage & Co use the cold process method when making their soaps and also a process called super-fatting to keep the free oils and the naturally occurring glycerine. This is what makes them so exceptionally moisturising.

As with any skin care product, if irritation develops discontinue use, and, as with any soap, avoid contact with eyes.
Customers with sensitive skin are advised to perform a test patch before using a new product for the first time. If you have any medical concerns regarding products containing essential oils (such as when pregnant, or with certain medical conditions), please consult your doctor or a qualified aromatherapist for further advice before making a purchase. We do not recommend using some products containing essential oils on young children.
Wild Sage & Co products are handmade, so there will be slight variations between batches which may affect product appearance, aroma and viscosity.
