Consumers embrace edible charcoal as a purifying extra ingredient

Implications - Emerging as skincare secret weapons, activated or heat-treated ingredients are being incorporated as health-boosting properties in a variety of beverage products. Activated ingredients such as charcoal are able to better absorb organic toxins, causing the unexpected ingredient to gain popularity outside of Asia as a healthful addition to drinks such as cold-pressed juices and lattes. This progression speaks to the experimental nature of consumer appetites in the pursuit of health.
Workshop Question - What are you doing to challenge your customer's perception of your industry's standards?
