Adding Activated Carbon to Powder Masks

Yes, you can add Activated Carbon powder to your powder mask formulation that is mixed with water before use. Activated Carbon is known for its ability to absorb dirt and impurities, making it suitable for detoxification purposes in skincare products like face masks.

To incorporate Activated Carbon into your mask, you can mix the desired amount directly into the dry powder mask blend. When the user is ready to use the mask, they will mix the combined powder with water as usual.

Regarding the usage rate, it is recommended to start with a low concentration. Activated Carbon is a potent black powder and can easily stain skin, clothing, and surfaces. Begin with a small percentage (e.g., 0.5% - 1%) and test the mask. You can gradually increase the concentration if needed, keeping in mind the potential for staining and the desired detoxifying effect. Always perform a patch test before applying the mask to the entire face.
