Activated charcoal, used in our formulas as an absorbent. Its source is an EU ingredient listing, which records its role as an absorbent rather than a measured effect on how skin looks.

Draw in the formula

Activated Charcoal sits in our formulas for one job: keeping pores clear and shine in check. We file it under Clarifying in this glossary for the job we use it for, and the evidence section below says how far its source goes.

Draw in the pore

The mechanism is the one stated in the summary above, and we have deliberately not extended it. Where a supplier or a competitor would reach for a bigger promise, the sentence we publish stops where the research stops.

Draw in the evidence

Our source is an industry technical paper from a credentialed source, recorded as EU CosIng (absorbent). We grade that as supplier and sector evidence, weaker than published research.

Draw and its limits

The research behind Activated Charcoal studies the ingredient, not the finished Opuliss product it sits in. It is not a trial of our formula, and we will not present it as one.

Cosmetic claims describe how skin looks and feels. Nothing here is a medical claim, and nothing here treats a condition.
