Charcoal & Mint Soap – Activated Charcoal Bar for Oily & Acne-Prone Skin

Activated charcoal and mint, for skin that gets oily by mid-afternoon. This is the bar for sweat, pollution and the film a Jaipur summer leaves on your skin.

Charcoal is absorbent — it lifts oil and grime out rather than just rinsing over them. Mint cools, which is the reason the bar feels the way it does five seconds after you rinse.

What It Does

• Lifts out oil and grime. Activated charcoal binds to dirt and excess sebum
• Cools on contact. Mint essential oil and mint powder, not menthol crystals
• Keeps skin matte without stripping it. Coconut and olive oil stop it going too far
• Suits humid weather and sweat. Useful after the gym, a commute or a long day outdoors

How to Use It

Lather in wet hands and work over the body, concentrating on the back, chest and shoulders if you get body acne there. Rinse well.

Once or twice a day. If your skin feels tight afterwards, alternate with a gentler bar.

Who It Suits

Normal to oily, combination and acne-prone skin, and anyone who wants a cooling wash in hot weather. If your skin is dry or sensitive, our Aloe Vera, Tulsi & Neem Soap is the gentler option.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will it dry my skin out?
It is the most clarifying bar in the range. Oily skin does well on it daily; dry skin should alternate it with something richer.

Does the charcoal stain the bathroom?
No. The lather is grey and rinses clean.

Can I use it on my face?
Yes, for oily or acne-prone skin. Avoid the eye area — the mint stings.

Is it good for body acne?
It is the right bar in the range for back and shoulder breakouts, used with a long handle bath brush to reach them.
