WOW Science for the Skin Charcoal face cleanser is a nutritious transparent gel that combines small black activated charcoal beads and tiny green tea tree essential oil beads. The black beads, which include activated charcoal, burst softly on lathering and begin their job of trapping pollutants, toxins, grime, and impurities, whilst the green beads, which contain tea tree essential oil, disinfect, heal, and soothe the skin. With each wash, it helps to make the skin feel cleaner and fresher than before.
