# Squeezable Charcoal Skincare Black Out's Activated Charcoal + Coconut Mask Softens and Detoxifies By Jana Pijak | Published 2016-09-20 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/charcoal-skincare References: [urbanoutfitters](http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/ca/en/catalog/productdetail.jsp?id=40942104&color=000) Charcoal skincare has been dominating the cosmetics market in recent months with everything from activated charcoal soaps, supplements and even mouthwash gaining the attention of modern consumers. Consisting of three key ingredients -- activated charcoal that draws out impurities, soothing aloe that reduces inflammation along with coconut oil that helps to eliminate redness -- this healing face mask is sold in a convenient and compact pack that allows for a squeezable application process. The organically sourced face mask can be worn for a 20 minute period and washed off, leaving users with a noticeably brighter and cleaner complexion. Long used for its detoxifying properties, activated charcoal has recently gone from a natural health remedy to an important cosmetic ingredient that has changed the way many approach skincare. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.1/10 - Popularity: 60% | Activity: 86% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/cosmetics) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Charcoal Skincare:** There is a growing trend of using activated charcoal in skincare products, offering detoxification benefits and a cleaner complexion. - **Squeezable Packaging:** The popularity of squeezable packaging allows for easy and convenient application of skincare products, providing a more user-friendly experience. - **Organic Beauty:** Consumers are increasingly interested in organically sourced skincare products for their natural and sustainable qualities. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Cosmetics:** The cosmetics industry can explore the opportunities of incorporating activated charcoal in skincare products and utilizing squeezable packaging to enhance the user experience. - **Health and Wellness:** The health and wellness industry can tap into the trend of activated charcoal skincare by offering detoxifying products that promote a cleaner complexion. - **Packaging:** The packaging industry can innovate and provide more squeezable solutions for skincare products to meet the demand for convenient and user-friendly applications. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Charcoal-Infused Soap Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/charcoalinfused-soap-bars.md) - [Charcoal-Infused Soap Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/suds-cos-soap-bar.md) - [Detoxifying Charcoal Mouthwashes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/charcoal-mouthwashes.md) - [Pudding-Like Exfoliating Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nourish-nutrient-rich-soil-resurfacing-mask.md) - [Eco-Friendly Charcoal Sponges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lufo.md) - [Skin-Caring Scalp Masks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/detox-scalp-mask.md) - [Gentle Exfoliating Clay Masks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cosmettes-rosy-glow-mask.md) - [Two-Tone Facial Scrub Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deep-scrub-face-bar.md) - [Acne-Treating Cleansing Pastes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acne-treating-cleansing-paste.md)
