The original goal of the manufacturer when creating coal cream is not to improve the health of users, but the actual activated carbon composition has detoxifying properties, helping to eliminate toxins from the body. . This process is called absorption, in which positively charged toxins attach to the negatively charged porous surface of activated carbon.

However, activated carbon is a common ingredient in skin, soap, and whitening powder masks. Stella Metsovas, author of 'Wild Mediterranean', said her grandfather often brushed his teeth with a charcoal rod in the 1940s.

This habit is so common that manufacturers have added additives with activated carbon to toothpaste. If activated carbon is often used to remove toxins on the skin or clean teeth, what guarantees this substance to be safe when taken into the human body?

The use of activated carbon in food began to be controversial when a function of this ingredient was taken into consideration: treating food poisoning or overdose in emergency rooms.

Therefore, if you are taking medications such as birth control pills, vitamins or any other dietary supplement, eating ice cream or foods containing activated carbon can make medicines and vitamins ineffective. This is because activated carbon cannot distinguish good and bad substances. So many people have asked stores like Morgenstern to warn guests about potential side effects when eating coal-containing foods.
