Why Charcoal? 3 Details That Set Natural Charcoal Deodorant Apart
Natural deodorants can be made with safe, effective, and even nourishing ingredients. One ingredient you might not necessarily expect is charcoal. It’s an uncommon deodorant ingredient, but when added to a natural deodorant, it’s often front and center.

There’s a reason for that. There’s a lot to like about charcoal, particularly as an ingredient in natural deodorant.
It might not be for everyone, but if you’re curious about this
ingredient, here are a few reasons it can make a lot of sense in your
deodorant.
Charcoal Can Act as a Natural Deodorizer
It doesn’t get much simpler than that! Activated charcoal can act as a
natural deodorizer. It can “grab on” to odor-causing particles and
effectively adsorb or neutralize them. Adsorption is different from
adsorption in that toxins are attached to the activated charcoal to
neutralize them rather than absorb them to rid the body of them.

Many natural deodorants can have multiple odor-neutralizing
ingredients, including naturally mined baking soda (a finer type).
Together, activated charcoal and naturally mined baking soda can give charcoal deodorant effective odor-eliminating properties.
The “Shape” of Charcoal Matters
One reason charcoal can be an effective natural deodorizer is its
shape. Although the deodorant may have a dull light gray appearance,
those superfine charcoal particles are fascinating under a microscope.
They are very angular and rugged. You’d never feel it on your skin, but
charcoal's highly angular shape grabs onto odor-causing particles and
keeps them trapped. Charcoal can be so angular that once particles
become trapped, they’re trapped for good!

What “Activates” Activated Charcoal?
Oxygen, that’s what. Activated charcoal is created when oxygen is
naturally derived charcoal, such as bamboo, coconut, other woods, or
other natural materials. This increases those angular pores and thus the
surface area of the charcoal particles.
Using the activated kind in deodorant with charcoal makes it exponentially more effective for your personal care.
