The Charcoal Soap by Thicker has been formulated to reduce the appearance of dark spots and marks, balance oily skin, and help with breakouts. The soap is made with activated charcoal, which is known for its purifying properties. Activated charcoal is created by burning organic material, like wood, to create a porous substance that can absorb toxins. The charcoal has been mixed with other skin-friendly ingredients, like shea butter, coconut oil, and sunflower oil.
