Use in skin care and hair care

Technical properties

Since Triporous™ has a larger number of meso- and macropores than conventional activated carbon, it has been confirmed to have a high adsorption ability for various body odor components, such as 2-Nonenal that causes odor associated with aging, and a high capturing effect for causative bacteria for odors.

Future possibilities

By applying Triporous to skin care and hair care products, a more effective approach to body odor removal,
such as odor associated with aging, becomes possible.
By processing Triporous into a non-woven fabric, it can be made in the form of packs and so on.
