Product Description

4 oz of Activated Charcoal Powder, packaged in a resealable bag. Activated Charcoal is used as a purifier. It is highly proficient at removing color, flavor, and odor compounds from liquids such as juice, wine, and sweeteners. Starwest’s Activated Charcoal is made from sawdust and therefore is a renewable resource. As a wood-based activated carbon, it is highly adsorbent due to the particles’ large surface area and high volume of pores compared to activated charcoal produced from other, non-wood materials. In fact, wood-based carbon has twice the pore volume as carbon created from coal, lignite, and coconut. As a result, high purification happens in a shorter time while using less carbon. This Activated Charcoal is food-grade quality and is considered to be GRAS (generally regarded as safe in food processing).

Love it!
I have used this product for several natural products, including natural mascara and to whiten my teeth. I was SHOCKED at the difference it made in my teeth! You can see the results in the picture I added (Dont' judge! I have bad teeth!.) The final result was from only two days worth of using this product for 5 minutes each time. I'm still in shock at how much of a difference there was (these photos were not edited or filtered in any way except to put them all in one picture.) When you're using it on your mouth, it looks SOOOO creepy. Kinda zombie-teeth-ish. It scared me when I looked in the mirror. HA.I will caution that this stuff does make a mess. Be prepared. It has not stained my sink, counters or anything like that, but I spilled a BUNCH on my shirt and it did stain the shirt. It's a very fine powder and it does make an easy mess but as long as it's cleaned up quickly, I don't think it should cause an issue for anything except clothing.I used it successfully in natural mascara as well. I will absolutely order it again when I run out.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome toothpaste alternative
Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2015
Size: 4 Ounce (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase
This product is awesome. I bought it for two reasons: Toothpaste replacement and teeth whitening. I am trying to get into a lifestyle of using products (lotions, body wash, etc) that only have natural ingredients. I really wanted to find a natural way to whiten my teeth without paying hundreds of dollars at a dentist and without putting all of those chemicals into my body. After much research, I found that activated charcoal works great. As a bonus, I found that it can also be used to brush your teeth instead of toothpaste. I've been using it for a few weeks now and so far so good. I don't use anything else....not even mouthwash. I also brush my tongue with it for fresh breath. Activated charcoal absorbs bacteria and tannins in the mouth. My teeth feel much cleaner than usual and my teeth are much whiter. It does take a few months for your teeth to become it's maximum white color so I'm not 100% there yet. I love brushing my teeth with it, however it is SUPER messy. I have to wipe my sink down every time I brush my teeth and I pretty much have to keep my mouth closed as much as possible to minimize the mess. But it's worth it if I don't have to put any chemicals in my mouth on a daily basis for the rest of my life.

This is a wonderful addition to a collection for anyone who likes to make their own home beauty products. Activated charcoal has so many uses including tooth whitening! I have personally used it to make my own mascara and face masks, and both turned out great! There was no clumping with the mascara and it is very long lasting. It makes me feel so much better knowing I'm not putting all those harmful chemicals from store bought mascaras close to my eyes anymore! The face mask was wonderful as well, it helps pull impurities from the skin and leaves your face looking brighter and refreshed!

4.0 out of 5 stars Better when paired with another product, somewhat messy
Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2014
Size: 4 Ounce (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase
I bought this product in March 2014 and I STILL have charcoal powder. It is an effective supplement to the teeth whitening process.

I've used this product in three different combinations: using the powdered charcoal and following up with a whitening strip, combining the powder with a whitening toothpaste into a paste, or using the granules and following up with a whitening toothpaste. Using the powder exclusively has not allowed me to keep my teeth as white as I would like. Of the three combinations noted, I most often brush with the charcoal and then follow up with whitening toothpaste. I engage in this process three times a week.

For powdered charcoal, do not wear anything fancy while brushing. Expect charcoal to remain in bristles. Even after using powdered charcoal at one session; the charcoal can and will drip at a subsequent session. Charcoal can leave black spots on lighter sinks. Usually, it is easy to wipe off sinks, but the charcoal is not so easy to remove from clothes.

The charcoal powder doesn't taste bad. So, other than the mess, it is pleasant enough to use.

5.0 out of 5 stars Activated Charcoal Powder for Whiter Teeth!
Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2012
Size: 4 Ounce (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase
Stop being a slave to toxic commercial toothpastes! Break the chains of bondage and embrace a future of whiter teeth with activated charcoal powder!

Activated carbon is used in gas purification, decaffeination, gold purification, metal extraction, water purification, medicine, sewage treatment, air filters in gas masks and respirators, filters in compressed air and teeth whitening!

I use activated charcoal powder to brush my teeth. Teeth stains are acidic in nature. The charcoal powder's basic nature (alkalinity) and abrasiveness remove the teeth stains.

To preserve the charcoal from moisture, I place the contents of the bag into a glass air-tight container. Do not dip a wet toothbrush into your main powder source or it will harden.

When I brush my teeth with the powder, I place a teaspoon of the powder into a small bowl then dip a wet toothbrush to collect the powder and then start brushing. You can mix the charcoal powder with a dab of toothpaste if the taste bothers you, although the powder taste like nothing. It makes quite a mess, hence I use this method while I am showering or the kitchen sink. Afterwards, it is important to fully rinse out your mouth of the charcoal.

For the best results, brush your teeth with the powder for a minimum of three minutes. Brush each section of your teeth thoroughly. Follow-up with sodium bicarbonate and your teeth will be whiter.

It is not fatal if you accidentally ingest a small amount of the powder. It does not cause permanent staining in clothing or furniture.

Remember! The best methods to obtaining a fantastic smile is not just cleaning, but a healthy diet of fruits and vegetables, and the abstinence of tobacco and alcohol, and sugary products consumption.

Remember! Most human beings have a natural yellow tint to their teeth. Don't be bamboozled by the fake Hollywood smiles.
