Hardwood Activated Charcoal Powder, 100% USA Trees, 8 oz

Purchased primarily to make mascara and facial masks. Although the packaging is nice (comes in a 'ziplock' foil bag with a scoop), as soon as you open it - POOF!!! Extremely fine charcoal powder EVERYWHERE!! And I have white counters! Ajax was the only thing that would really get it off of my counters... (took a couple of hours to clean up the initial mess) BUT once aware of the mess it will make (just due to the nature of the product), the ease of use, blend-ability, and color intensity is amazing! I did myself a favor while cleaning up the mess and put the majority of it (with the scoop) into a mason jar with a screw-on lid so next time I open it, it shouldn't have the major POOF factor of opening up a bag full of air and extremely fine powder! Have not tried it yet for tooth whitening or taste; purchased primarily for DIY cosmetic/skincare ... although I am thinking about making my own charcoal filter bags for around the house...just gotta figure out the mess factor! Overall, extremely satisfied!

I know it sounds crazy but honestly after just ONE USE on face as a mask my skin feels softer and after ONE TIME brushing it on my teeth they are noticeably whiter! My boyfriend even noticed my softer skin and whiter teeth so I know I'm not exaggerating! I would DEFINITELY recommend purchasing this product! It is a little messy but I found that using a plastic bag with a little hole cut out for water drainage as a liner for my bathroom sink really helped reduce clean up time. But even if it does get on you sink, handles, or walls (oops) the wet charcoal comes off really easily with a little face wash or dish soap :)

Like many of the other reviewers, I would have appreciated a bag that was double-sealed. My bathroom looked like a coal mine the first time I opened it. Luckily everything the seller says is true - this charcoal powder is odorless, tasteless, and EXTREMELY fine, so even though I inhaled some of it and blew charcoal out of my nose for a couple days after it wasn't unpleasant at all! I have sensitive teeth to go along with my sensitive soul and it has not aggravated either when using the powder for brushing. I would highly recommend this product to anyone who wants to start using activated charcoal and doesn't mind applying some elbow grease to clean up the mess afterwards. I have already noticed a difference in the color of my teeth, quality of my breath, and any healing mouth sores I had from biting my cheek all day, e'er day. I mean, I was awesome before I started using this stuff - but now I'm next-level.

As others have noted, the powder is EXTREMELY FINE. It will come flying out of the package when you open it, and it will get all over things. This is an inconvenience, but doesn't detract from the quality of the product; in fact, it's critical to the quality. If I'm going to be brushing my teeth with charcoal, I want it to be very fine. It's barely gritty at all.But the packaging, though I'm sure it keeps costs and shipping down, IS inconvenient. So here are a couple of tips: When you receive the package, stand it up and shake the product down. Let it settle for a good long while. Assemble two pint-size jars with lids (for the 8 ounce bag of charcoal).Carefully cut the top of the bag open (there's no way you're going to keep dipping into this bag of flying black powder, so sacrifice the bag). On an easy-wipe surface, decant the charcoal powder slowly and carefully into the two jars. I used a wide-mouth funnel.Close the jars up. It's much easier and neater to dip your toothbrush into a wide-mouth jar than into this bag.Some powder will scatter. Wipe it up with a microfiber cloth and some grease-cutting spray like Windex or 409.When you brush your teeth with this EXTREMELY FINE blacker-than-black powder, you will get black tongue and black gums. Mere water-rinsing doesn't make it go away. So I've been pre-brushing with the charcoal, then re-brushing with toothpaste or baking soda, which helps carry away the charcoal.I've read that charcoal shouldn't be used every day on teeth, so this is a once-a-week thing for me, and really not much trouble. I get a nice fresh mouth (I'm on a Very Low Carb diet and get "keto-breath") and super clean teeth. This 8 ounce bag of charcoal will last for years.

i used this as a binder for my parasite cleanse, was aight.

Buena calidad

I like to make facemasks and toothpaste with this activated charcoal. High-quality product.

product is good, packaging BAD. The minute you open it you spray charcoal everywhere!!! and then when u subsequently open it, same. I will find another container but this is an inconvenience and I wouldnt buy this product, in this packaging again. however, the product does work well!
