Abstract: The increasing prevalence of skin disorders such as acne and irritation, largely associated with environmental pollution, has intensified the demand for effective and affordable skincare products. Activated charcoal, known for its strong adsorptive capacity, has gained attention in cosmetic formulations for its ability to remove impurities, toxins, and excess oils from the skin. However, there remains a need for cost-effective, locally formulated products with validated quality attributes.
