Cleansing
What does the product description say?
We recommend using this on DRY and DIRTY skin for the deepest cleanse.
Source: Carbon Beauty
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (di-ppg-2 myreth-10 adipate, lecithin, xanthan gum) and should be able to cleanse the skin gently. Still keep in mind that any cleansing can disrupt the skin barrier, and most people do not need to cleanse their skin more than once per day.
Used mostly for creating emulsions - helping oil and water mix together. Helps soften the upper layer of the skin
Used to create a thicker product consistency
Exfoliation
What does the product description say?
Also provides gentle exfoliation, smoothing and brightening.
Source: Carbon Beauty
This product does not contain effective exfoliating ingredients. It might be able to deliver physical exfoliation, that is scrub off some of the dead cells on the surface of the skin. We do not recommend physical exfoliation, because it is not uniform (some bits of skin can get exfoliated too much while others not at all). It can also traumatize the skin and aggrevate acne and other skin conditions.
