Botanika Life aims to offer consumers skincare products that contain plant-based ingredients. Among its luxury skincare and wellness products, Botanika Life has now made available its Detox & Renew Charcoal Clay Mask. Its key ingredient, charcoal powder, offers users a host of benefits.
American businessman Benny Shabtai launched Botanika Life to offer skincare-conscious consumers products made from full-spectrum CBD and plant-based ingredients. Today, the company has expanded to produce a range of products promoting a clean and luxurious wellness lifestyle. The Detox & Renew Charcoal Clay Mask illustrates the company's mission of offering consumers plant-based products that are also sustainably produced and packaged.
This specific product takes users to the spa to enable a premium face mask experience. The mask contains hemp seed oil and avocado oil to soften and hydrate the skin. It also contains anti-inflammatory ingredients such as papaya enzyme, niacinamide, and full-spectrum CBD. Its hyaluronic acid moisturizes the skin, creates a protective barrier, and improves the skin's elasticity. The clay, comprised of kaolin and bentonite, leaves the skin supple and taut. The charcoal offers a central benefit of absorbing impurities from the skin.
Charcoal is an essential ingredient that has uses dating as far back as Ancient Egypt. In modern times, activated charcoal comes from taking ground wood, peat, coconut shells, or sawdust and heating it. Charcoal becomes activated after exposure to steam or hot air causes it to expand, increasing its surface area.
Studies support the effectiveness of using charcoal as part of a skincare regimen in drawing out skin impurities. A 2019 study published in a May 2022 Healthline article suggested that an activated charcoal peel-off mask opened pores, which facilitated removing dead cells, grime, and dust from the skin and acting as a natural exfoliator. Furthermore, the participants' pores closed within an hour of the treatment. Removing impurities from the skin is integral in improving the skin's texture and appearance.
Charcoal's cleansing properties include ultimately helping to closes the pores. Enlarged pores can become clogged, causing acne. Again, the ingredient acts to clean pores, allowing them to close, preventing and reducing the incidence of unsightly skin blemishes.
Charcoal-infused skincare products offer other benefits, such as soaking up excess oil. Oily skin results from an overproduction of sebum, which protects and moisturizes the skin. If left untreated, this substance can clog pores, resulting in blackheads and acne. Activated charcoal reduces the amount of oil in the skin, reducing clogging and the appearance of blackheads and acne. Because it soaks up oil by targeting the deep layers of the skin, products with charcoal assist users in managing oily skin.
Finally, charcoal has positive impacts on brightening the skin and reducing skin irritation. Charcoal gives the skin a recharge. As the skin becomes clean, the complexion becomes brighter, making the skin appear younger. Moreover, acne-blemished skin becomes irritated because of bacteria associated with pimples. Charcoal's antibacterial properties curb skin irritation while also cleansing it.
The Botanika Life Detox & Renew Charcoal Clay Mask offers users all these benefits in addition to reducing the appearance of fine lines. Users only need to apply the product to clean, dry skin, spreading it everywhere except for the mouth and eyes. The product is left on for 15 to 20 minutes, then washed off, and the skin is dried. Botanika Life recommends using the product once or twice a week. For more information on this product or any of the Botanika Life wellness products, please visit botanika.life/pages/about-us.
