Activated charcoal is a wonderful detox for your skin. It is so soothing to blemishes and skin irritations making it a perfect bar soap for all kinds of issues it's very gentle and this bar has a soft blend of citrus essential oils for a light fresh scent! XL 6 oz bars go a long ways they are a really nice chunky cut if it's to much take a knife and cut in half to enjoy! Our family loves the large rustic cut bars!
