DropCare® CON C3: The Multifunctional Natural Activated Carbon for Advanced Cosmetic Formulations

December 19, 2025

In the evolving world of cosmetic science, the shift towards natural, effective, and sustainable ingredients is stronger than ever. Enter DropCare® CON C3—a premium activated charcoal powder derived from coconut shells, designed to meet the highest standards of performance, safety, and environmental responsibility. This innovative material is not just another additive; it’s a versatile powerhouse capable of enhancing a wide range of personal care products.


What is DropCare® CON C3?

DropCare® CON C3 is a high-performance activated carbon material sourced from high-quality coconut shells.
INCI Name: Charcoal Powder
CAS No.: 16291-96-6

It belongs to the efficacy categories of oil adsorption, gentle exfoliation, deep cleansing, and natural tinting.


Why Choose DropCare® CON C3?

✅ 100% Natural & Renewable

Made exclusively from coconut shells, it is a fully renewable, biodegradable, and eco-friendly material. It serves as an excellent sustainable alternative to synthetic microbeads and plastic exfoliants.

✅ Highly Porous Structure

Its developed pore system and enormous specific surface area provide a strong physical foundation for superior adsorption capabilities—capable of adsorbing 100–200 times its own weight.

✅ Strong Adsorption & Fast Action

Efficiently absorbs excess sebum, impurities, pollutants, and microscopic particles from skin and hair, promoting a deeply cleansed and refreshed feel.

✅ Gentle Yet Effective Exfoliation

With controlled particle size and rounded edges, it offers adjustable physical exfoliation, gently removing dead skin cells without causing irritation—perfect for sensitive skin formulations.

✅ High Safety & Non-Toxic

Free from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, heavy metals, and impurities. Non-irritating, non-comedogenic, and clinically tested for safety in cosmetic applications.

5. Active Ingredient Carrier

Its porous structure acts as a “micro-container” to encapsulate and deliver active ingredients (e.g., vitamins, extracts) for enhanced efficacy and sustained release.

6. Product Texture & Stabilization

Helps suspend particles evenly in formulations, prevent settling, and adds a unique visual identity (e.g., “black paste” concepts).
Perfect for: Suspension serums, two-phase masks, men’s black series, and trendy charcoal toothpaste.
