We already know that bamboo charcoal is much better for the environment and in its adsorptive qualities than traditional cham soot charcoal.  But what makes Borim’s bamboo charcoal stand out?

Borim’s bamboo charcoal starts with the bamboo itself.  Borim uses a special breed of bamboo indigenous to the south of Korea.  The pristine farmland in this region is perfect for growing bamboo.  Borim’s bamboo is harvested at 3 years of age, giving the bamboo time to absorb minerals such as calcium, potassium, and magnesium. 

Bamboo is a very sustainable resource.  Contrary to popular believe, bamboo is not actually a tree, it is a type of grass.  Bamboo is the fastest growing woody plant in the world.  Because it is a grass, when you cut down the stalks, it will just regrow from the existing root structure.  That makes bamboo a very sustainable and environmentally friendly resource.   

Borim is the world’s first patented bamboo active charcoal manufacturer, having been awarded 3 patents for their unique production processes for activated bamboo charcoal.   

Borim’s unique method of activating the bamboo charcoal also doubles the surface area to mass ratio over normal bamboo charcoal.  Borim’s patented methods create activated charcoal with a ratio of up to 1200 square meters per gram of bamboo charcoal!

Borim uses steam to activate the bamboo charcoal, so the process is completely harmless to the human body and environmentally friendly.

Borim is ISO 90001 (Quality Management Systems) and ISO 14001 (Environmental Management Systems) certified.  Borim’s commitment to quality and environmentally sustainable business practices are evident in every way they do business.  Their vision is “the right to stay healthy should be granted to everyone on the globe.”

Here are some of the many unique benefits and qualities of Borim’s bamboo charcoal*: 

1. Relaxation Effect – The negative ions emitted by bamboo charcoal helps to balance out the positive ions emitted from your TV, computer, and modern day electronics.  Balancing out the ions in your living environment relieves tension, stress, anxiety, and helps you feel relaxed and refreshed.  

2. Deodorization – Bamboo charcoal can absorb the odors from all over the house, and can even prevent the growth of harmful bacteria.  You can place bamboo charcoal stalks in your refrigerator, closets, basement, laundry room, bedrooms, bathrooms, garage – any room in your house where there are foul odors.   

3. Hair & Skin Care – Borim’s bamboo charcoal is placed in an inner layer of pillows and bedding.  During your sleep, the bamboo charcoal can help regulate the humidity in your bed and absorb sweat and other chemicals your body emits normally.  Absorbing these chemicals helps keep your skin & hair healthy.  

4. Electromagnetic Shielding – Borim’s bamboo charcoal’s conductivity blocks static electricity. Electromagnetic waves raise the body temperature, and causes backaches, constipation and all sorts of diseases.  

5. Humidity Regulation – Borim’s bamboo charcoal can act as a natural humidity regulator.  During periods of high humidity, the charcoal will soak up excess moisture in the air.  Then when the air gets dry, the moisture will be distributed back into the air.  During the muggy summer season, it can help to keep your room crisp and refreshing.  

6. Far-Infrared Ray Effect – Borim’s bamboo charcoal emits far-infrared rays.  Far-infrared rays are called the rays of life and they can warm up your body temperature to promote blood circulation, speed up the metabolism, and encourage cell growth.  It has been measured that bamboo charcoal radiates 93% of far-infrared rays.  

7. Water Purification – Borim’s bamboo charcoal’s minerals purify water by removing harmful substances and mineralizing the water with beneficial substances.  The water particles become smaller, which improves the flavor of water. 

8. Antibacterial and Anti poison effect- Charcoal has been used for medicinal purposes for many centuries.  Records indicate that charcoal was used in Hippocrates era for epilepsy, dizziness, and anemia. In oriental medicine, it’s quite common to use charcoal as an ingredient in natural medicines.  When you eat charcoal, it is not digested by the body but instead adsorbs toxic, harmful, and poisonous substances while it is moving through your body.
