Overview

Food grade hardwood activated charcoal in loose powder form, sold in a 1 lb (16 oz) unflavored pouch. Marketed for teeth whitening, facial masks and soap making, with kosher and non-GMO certification. Suits DIY beauty and oral care users who mix their own pastes and masks rather than buying pre-made products.

Activated charcoal powder is popular as a base ingredient rather than a finished product: buyers combine it with water, coconut oil or bentonite clay to build their own toothpaste or mask. Because it is unflavored and uncoated, texture and mess are part of the trade-off. There is no listed sourcing detail beyond hardwood origin, so buyers wanting a specific tree species should check with the seller.

  • 1 lb (16 oz) hardwood activated charcoal
  • Food grade, kosher, non-GMO
  • Unflavored powder form
  • Multi-use: teeth, skin, soap making

Who it's for

Suits people who want a bulk, mixable charcoal for homemade teeth whitening pastes, face masks or soap batches. Less suited to anyone wanting a ready-to-use tube or capsule, since this ships as loose powder only.

Strengths and trade-offs

Drawn from this product's published specifications.

What stands out
  • Bulk 1 lb size for repeated use
  • Kosher and non-GMO certified
  • Works as a base for teeth, skin or soap projects
  • Unflavored, so it won't affect other DIY additions
What to check first
  • Loose powder makes for a messy application
  • No pre-measured servings
  • No listed reviews to confirm results

Performance notes

As a powder, results depend entirely on how it is mixed and used, charcoal itself has no active timing or dosage built in. Kosher and non-GMO certification speaks to sourcing rather than efficacy. Because it is uncoated and unflavored, expect a gritty texture and a genuine mess risk around sinks and fabric.
