Detoxifying Charcoal Face Scrub by Himalaya
This charcoal scrub by Himalaya is a facial scrub with activated charcoal from coconut and green tea extract. You massage it over your damp face, rinse it off, and your skin feels smooth and clean. The tube contains 75 ml. Himalaya makes the scrub especially for normal to oily skin.
Activated charcoal from coconut, what is that actually
Activated charcoal (on the ingredients list: Charcoal Powder) is carbon that is processed in such a way that it contains countless tiny holes. Because of this, it has a huge surface area. Himalaya uses charcoal from coconut shells. In a cleansing product like this, it takes dirt and sebum from your skin along with the granules, which you then simply rinse off. The charcoal also gives the scrub its recognizable gray color.
How a facial scrub works
A scrub contains fine granules that you move over your skin with your fingertips. In this charcoal scrub, that is microcrystalline cellulose, a plant fiber. Those granules take loose skin flakes that are on the surface of your skin along. That is called exfoliating (the removal of the top layer of dead skin cells). What many people do not know: you do not need to rub hard for that. Gentle, circular motions are enough. And keep the area around your eyes free, as the skin is thinner there.
Green tea and the rest of the formula
After water, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride is on the list, a conditioning oil that is extracted from coconut. A little further down you will find Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract. That is extract from the leaf of the tea plant, better known as green tea. Cetearyl alcohol and glyceryl stearate give the scrub a creamy texture. Because of this, the granules glide smoothly over your skin and the massaging feels soft. Many people wonder if a scrub with charcoal leaves stains or a gray haze. No, after rinsing with water, the charcoal is gone.
In short: a charcoal scrub with activated charcoal and green tea, in a convenient 75 ml tube. Himalaya also has a face wash and a mask with charcoal in the same line, for those who want to use the entire range.

Frequently Asked Questions
What skin type is this scrub suitable for?
Himalaya designed this scrub primarily for normal to oily skin. If you have dry or sensitive skin, it is better to choose a gentler scrub or use it less frequently.
Do you use the scrub on dry or wet skin?
On damp skin. First, wet your face and neck, then apply the scrub and massage gently with your fingertips. Afterwards, rinse it off and pat your skin dry.
Isn't the scrub too coarse for my face?
No, the granules are fine cellulose particles in a creamy base. Gently massage it in with your fingertips, without applying pressure. If it still feels too rough, use it less frequently.
What does activated charcoal do in a scrub?
Activated charcoal is carbon with many tiny holes, giving it a large surface area. In a cleansing product, it combines with water and the granules to remove dirt and sebum from your skin, which you then rinse off. It also gives the scrub its grey colour.
What is the difference between a scrub and a face wash with charcoal?
A face wash is a daily cleanser without granules. This scrub does contain granules and you use it 2 to 3 times a week to remove loose skin flakes. Many people combine the two.
