Product Description
The pore size of the type of activated charcoal you’re using is the key factor in determining which toxins get removed and which don’t, and different types of activated charcoal have different pore sizes.
Most products just use one type of activated charcoal and some don’t even bother to tell you which kind of activate charcoal they’re using and why they’re using it, because until now, you haven’t been educated on how activated charcoal works. We’re about to change that!
Activated charcoal is derived from natural sources, like wood, coal, coconut shells, peat, and bamboo, and each of them have different pore sizes.
Here’s the key — you have to match the pore size of the activated charcoal to the size of the toxin you’re trying to remove or it won’t adsorb it (adhere to and wash away). Basically, the toxin has to be slightly smaller than the pore size of the activated charcoal so it’ll get caught in the activated charcoal as the activated charcoal draws it in. If there aren’t pore sizes in that type of activated charcoal for that toxin to fit into, it won’t remove it.
There’s not one type of activated charcoal that can remove all toxins. If you want to remove toxins of all sizes you have to use the right kinds of activated charcoals together. That’s why we use four different types of activated charcoal in our products – each were picked for their ability to remove certain sizes of toxins to ensure we’re removing toxins of all sizes.
When you’re fighting a fire, you’re not just coming into contact with one toxin – you’re coming in contact with many, so you needed to make sure you’re removing as many of those toxins as you can.

One way we can see this is through colour, because colour is one of the toxins we can see in plain sight. So as you can see here, activated charcoal derived from coconuts has very small pores, therefore it has removed the red food colouring, while bamboo and binchotan activated charcoals remove majority medium sized toxins and have left the water red.
Coconut activated charcoal may take out the colour and removes toxic gasses doesn’t mean it’s good at removing larger toxins – it will still leave behind most of the medium and large sized toxins you come into contact with, which includes soot and a ton of other carcinogens. This is why you must use different types of activated charcoal. THIS is why FLAME was born.
FLAME activated charcoal is a propriety blend of activated charcoals to remove toxins of all sizes and it is the base of all of our cleansing products.
FLAME is the only product on the market mindfully removing toxins from across the spectrum of molecular toxin sizes.
