It is a natural ingredient that helps to purify and deeply cleanse your skin. It has the ability to absorb toxins (Dr, Chun's Dermatology Clinic, Korea, 2010). It improves the overall condition of the skin and pores. It is gentle enough to be used on the face, but you can use it all over your body.
