6 Beard Products Containing Activated Charcoal

Ummm…why would I use beard products containing activated charcoal?

No the world has not gone crazy. Activated charcoal in beard grooming products is actually A THING! Activated charcoal has many benefits for your beard. It is a powerful natural treatment that traps toxins and dirt amongst its millions of tiny pores. In this sense activated charcoal is one of the most effective toxins and dirt removers. That means activated charcoal may be the bearded man’s best friend (OK that is probably a stretch but you know what we mean…).

To learn more about activated charcoal visit our What is Activated Charcoal page.
As an ingredient in beard grooming products, activated charcoal:

  • Acts as a natural deodoriser that can fight bad odors
  • Cleans and refreshes
  • Draws out impurities
  • Draws out dirt and oil from clogged pores
  • Deeply cleans product build up
  • Gently exfoliates
  • Cleanses the skin under your beard

I’m sold. Apart from activated charcoal, what else should I be looking for in the ingredient list?

As with all product categories you are looking for products with as many natural or organic ingredients as possible. Look out for ingredients like:

  • Peppermint or spearmint oil which are natural antiseptics and can alleviate itchiness
  • Oils like coconut oil (soothes dry skin), orange oil (anti-inflammatory, argon oil (moisturises) and sunflower oil (rich in Vitamin E)
  • Ingredients like sandalwood, cedarwood, mandarin and orange for a natural scent
  • Shea butter which moisturisers
  • Clay which cleanses and nourishes and absorbs oils without leaving your skin dry

No way man!

When you are searching for an activated charcoal beard grooming product, remember it is ideal to find a product with:

  • No parabens
  • No harsh chemicals or synthetic fragrances
  • No animal testing or unethically sourced palm oil
