  • Description

General Description:

Activated Carbon, also known as activated charcoal, is a highly porous form of carbon processed to have a large surface area, making it extremely effective for adsorption. It is derived from carbon-rich materials such as coconut shells, wood, coal, or peat, which are activated through physical or chemical methods. Available in various forms including powder, granular, and pellet, Activated Carbon is widely used across industries such as water purification, air filtration, food and beverage processing, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. Manufacturers and wholesale suppliers offer Activated Carbon in bulk to meet diverse industrial demands efficiently.

Uses in the Cosmetics Industry:

In the cosmetic and personal care industry, Activated Carbon is valued for its purifying and detoxifying properties. Common applications include:

  • to draw out impurities, toxins, and excess oil from the skin.
  • for deep cleansing and exfoliation.
  • as a natural whitening agent and plaque remover.
  • to absorb buildup and refresh the scalp.

Its high adsorption capacity makes Activated Carbon a popular ingredient in formulations targeted at oily or acne-prone skin, contributing to clearer and more balanced skin.

Side Effects & Hazards:

Activated Carbon is generally considered safe for topical use in cosmetics. However, it may cause dryness or irritation, particularly in individuals with sensitive skin or with excessive use. Inhalation of fine powdered Activated Carbon during processing or formulation can lead to respiratory discomfort. Proper personal protective equipment (PPE) and safety procedures should be followed when handling in bulk.

For wholesale purchases, bulk orders, and supplier sourcing, ensure the Activated Carbon is of cosmetic or pharmaceutical grade and compliant with industry-specific purity standards.

  • DETAILS

CAS Number: 64365-11-3
INCI: Activated Charcoal

Composition: Activated carbon is primarily composed of carbon, along with trace amounts of hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and ash. It is produced through the activation of carbon-rich materials, which significantly increases its porosity and surface area for adsorption.

Purity Grade: No purity grade applicable

Appearance: Activated carbon appears as a fine black powder or granular material with a highly porous texture and matte surface.

Solubility: Activated carbon is insoluble in water and most organic solvents. It exhibits a strong adsorption capacity for gases, toxins, and impurities due to its large surface area and porous structure.

Preservation: Activated carbon does not require preservation, as it is chemically stable. However, it should be protected from moisture, odors, and airborne contaminants to maintain its adsorption capacity.

Storage: Store in a closed container in a cool, dry place at room temperature. Keep away from oxidizing agents and volatile substances to prevent premature saturation.

Raw Material Source: Activated carbon is derived from natural carbonaceous materials such as coconut shells, wood, peat, or coal. The raw material source influences the pore structure and adsorptive properties of the final product.

Manufacture: Activated carbon is produced in two main stages. First, the raw material undergoes carbonization by being heated in the absence of oxygen to produce char. Second, the char is activated either physically (using steam or COâ‚‚ at high temperatures) or chemically (with acids or alkalis) to create an extensive network of pores. The final product is then crushed and sieved into a fine powder or granules.

Animal Testing: Not animal tested

GMO: GMO-free (does not contain genetically modified components)

Vegan: Does not contain animal-derived components

Proposition: ACTIVATED CARBON complies with relevant safety and regulatory standards for cosmetic, food, pharmaceutical, and industrial use, depending on grade.

Warning: Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Use appropriate protective equipment when handling. Fine powder may cause respiratory irritation; ensure adequate ventilation and avoid inhalation. Store away from moisture and volatile chemicals.

THE STORY OF ACTIVATE CARBON

Activated Carbon: The Purifying Power of Nature

Activated Carbon, also known as Activated Charcoal, is a highly porous form of carbon renowned for its exceptional absorption capacity. It acts as a natural detoxifying agent, drawing out impurities, oil, and environmental pollutants. This age-old ingredient has found a modern revival in skincare, personal care, and oral hygiene formulations for its deep-cleansing power and natural purity.

Origin & Extraction

Our Activated Carbon is derived from sustainable raw materials such as coconut shells and natural wood. It is processed through high-temperature activation in controlled environments, creating a network of microscopic pores that increase its surface area dramatically. This scientific refinement transforms ordinary carbon into a powerful purifying agent for cosmetic and industrial use.

Cosmetic Role & Benefits

Activated Carbon is prized in cosmetics for its ability to attract and trap dirt, sebum, and toxins from the skin’s surface. In face masks, cleansers, and scrubs, it provides a deep-cleansing effect that leaves skin fresh, mattified, and revitalized. It also neutralizes odors in deodorants and enhances whitening performance in oral care products. Its natural origin and safety make it suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.

Application & Safety

Activated Carbon is used across personal care, pharmaceutical, and environmental applications. Recommended concentration in cosmetic products: 1–5%. Store in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry area. TRCkem ensures every batch meets cosmetic-grade purity and global safety standards — non-toxic, non-irritating, and responsibly sourced for sustainable formulations.

Formulator’s Queries, We Answered

Activated carbon (also known as activated charcoal) is a form of carbon that has been processed to have a large surface area and high porosity, making it highly effective at adsorbing impurities, toxins, and gases from liquids and air.

While both are carbon-based, activated carbon undergoes an additional activation process that greatly enhances its porosity and surface area. This makes activated carbon far more effective in adsorption applications compared to standard charcoal powder.

Activated carbon is produced in two stages:

  • : Heating carbon-rich materials (e.g., coconut shells, wood, coal) in the absence of oxygen
  • : Increasing porosity using physical (steam/COâ‚‚) or chemical (acid/base) treatment at high temperatures

Activated carbon is widely used for:
Water and air purification
Cosmetic and skincare products (e.g., masks, cleansers)
Medical and pharmaceutical detoxification
Food and beverage processing
Industrial gas filtration

Yes, cosmetic-grade activated carbon is safe when used as directed. It is commonly included in masks, soaps, and cleansers for its detoxifying and oil-absorbing properties. However, avoid inhaling the powder and direct contact with eyes.

Yes, activated carbon is typically vegan (not derived from animals) and is not tested on animals when sourced responsibly.
