Overview

Nutricost sells this food grade activated charcoal as a 16 ounce, vegetarian powder, marketed for DIY uses ranging from toothpaste and face masks to general odor control rather than as a capsule supplement.

The category listed is Activated Charcoal, and the title and specs support that, though this is a multi-use powder, not a typical swallowed capsule. The title's own use cases, toothpaste, face mask, odor control, point to a household and personal care powder more than a single-purpose supplement, so buyers should match their intended use to that description before ordering.

  • 16 ounce (1 lb) powder
  • Food grade activated charcoal
  • Vegetarian, gluten free, non-GMO
  • Suited to toothpaste, masks and odor control

Who it's for

Fits people who want a bulk, unflavored charcoal powder for DIY personal care projects or general odor control, and who are comfortable measuring loose powder themselves. It is not for anyone who wants a pre-dosed capsule instead.
