Overview
A 32-ounce bag of virgin activated charcoal powder from Viva Doria, derived from coconut shell and processed to food grade standards, sold as a plain ingredient for DIY skin, teeth or household use rather than a pre-made product.
Activated charcoal from coconut shells is generally regarded as a finer, more porous option than charcoal made from other sources, which is why it shows up often in DIY teeth-whitening and face-mask recipes. This listing sells the raw powder only, with no capsules, applicators or pre-mixed formula included, so it is aimed at buyers who plan to mix it into their own recipes.
- 32 oz bag
- Coconut shell derived charcoal
- Food grade
- Virgin activated, unblended
Who it's for
DIY skincare and household users who want a large bulk supply of food-grade coconut-derived activated charcoal to mix into masks, scrubs or other homemade formulas, not buyers looking for a finished capsule or toothpaste product.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Coconut shell derived, generally finer than mineral-sourced charcoal
- Food grade processing
- Large bulk quantity for repeated DIY use
- Raw powder only, no applicators included
- No mesh size or adsorption capacity data listed
Performance notes
Activated charcoal works by adsorption, meaning particles and compounds bind to its porous surface, which is the basis for its use in DIY masks, scrubs and odor-absorbing sachets. Coconut shell sourcing is generally considered to produce a finer particle and higher porosity than mineral-based charcoal, though this listing does not publish a specific mesh size or adsorption test result.
