The Activated Charcoal soap presents with a stunning black hue and is packed with beneficial cleansing properties. Activated charcoal has the ability to control facial oil and draw away impurities that build up in the pores. It is also effective in the removal of oils and dead cells, thus providing clean skin.

PERFORMANCE
When the skin gets inflamed from acne, our skin releases melanin. This causes dark spots known as inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). The effect from from PIH can last longer than acne itself and is most prevalent in melanin-rich skin.
It is essential to treat acne skin with a different approach for those with darker skin tones because a simple breakout can result in scarring, dark marks, and keloids.
HEAL treats acne with the use of gentle ingredients. Gentle ingredients are a must when treating acne as harsher products can cause severe dryness and/or irritation which worsens dark spots. HEAL is designed to activate preventative measures, improve, and minimize scarring most commonly known as dark spots.
We formulate our soaps with plant oils and butters and scented with essential oils. It's our goal to avoid harsh detergents, found in mass produced soaps, to avoid stripping the skin of it's natural oils.
How long does the cleansing bar last?
Cleansing bars can last up to a year, however we recommend to be used with 6 months.
Does your soap contain lye?
Yup! A soap is not a soap without lye. When lye solution mixes with the fats and oils it results in the creation of soap. The chemical process is complete and lye is reacted out, commonly referred to as saponified oils.
Our formulas are created simple, effective, and without compromise. Formulated cruelty-free and non-GMO without synthetic fragrances, silicones, colorants, sulfates, phthalates, parabens, PEGs, petrolatum, mineral oil, and nanoparticles.
Fragrance ingredients are fully disclosed to you, not hidden behind the word "fragrance", which is quite common in the beauty industry. US law does not require companies be transparent about the ingredients in fragrance/parfum. xBG believes in your right-to-know what you are slathering on your skin. You can get more details about our clean ingredients here.
