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).

Use this charcoal plus a few other ingredients for clean and pretty teeth. Damp toothbrush dip into charcoal mixture and ready to brush. Sink gets ugly but easily cleans up. thank you.

Messy, Messy!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 7, 2016

Verified Purchase

Be warned: this WILL get all over the place! It's a very fine powder and will poof everywhere! I put mine in a glass jar to help cut down the poofing, which has helped minimize it...it will still poof as you try to mix the charcoal with liquid, though.

Other than that, I've tried it once as a tooth whitener...kept inhaling the extra powder so that probably won't happen again. One time didn't provide a visible difference though. What I love this stuff for is the face mask! Mixed with a bit of bentonite clay and water, left on for ten minutes ONLY (this mask can be very drying), once a week has cleared up my pores more than the somewhat disappointing bentonite alone. I'm talking second mask, absolute difference, years of visibly blocked pores almost gone!!

I've read that this can also be used with coconut oil to make an all-natural eyeliner. So far, oil has helped me get the leftover "stains" off my face and tongue, so I don't know well how it will work. For now, this is just for face masks in this house as its worked brilliantly for that purpose!

And the Prop 65 warning is required on all products sold in California that have a chemical substance that MAY cause cancer OR reproductive harm...I remember working retail and putting that warning sticker on shoes!! It's on everything with even a slight chance. So, everything, as everything messes with your body these days.

Activated Charcoal Powder for Whiter Teeth!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 10, 2012

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.

I bought this for my son’s science project. The end result was quite impressive but the powder is a total mess to work with. That just the nature of the product though I’m thinking a non flexible container maybe would help with the dust produced?

Teeth whitening without sensitivity!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 20, 2015

Verified Purchase

I just got this in the mail today and was very excited to try it, especially after hearing that it whitens your teeth and doesn't cause sensitivity. I have tried numerous teeth whitening products and had yet to find one that didn't hurt my teeth, until I tried this. I first brushed my teeth, then I poured some of the powder into a bowl, got my toothbrush wet with warm water and tapped the tip of it into the powder and brushed it onto my teeth. I let it sit on my teeth for about 30 minutes then brushed my teeth with water to get the charcoal powder off my teeth and out of the crevices. You may need to brush your teeth again with toothpaste or floss since some of the charcoal may not come out from between your teeth. I did notice a difference in the color of my teeth, they appeared to be whiter, even after once use. Hopefully they will get whiter with more use. My only issue with this product is it is very messy! My sink was black from the charcoal and it also ran all over my mouth when brushing. I would advise you to be careful when opening and closing the package, to be extra safe I put my package in a ziplock bag that way it won't accidentally spill out.

Awesome toothpaste alternative

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 13, 2015

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 was exactly what I needed. I actually expected it to come in a smaller size so I was happy about that. I mostly use this to make homemade face masks and it seems to work great. Lasts pretty long but when I do run out I will definitely by this product again.
