Viva Doria Virgin Activated Charcoal Powder, Hardwood Derived, Food Grade, 34 g Glass Jar

Activated charcoal has many wonderful purposes. It can be used to reduce bloating, as a face mask, to whiten teeth (although I recently read one online article that advised against this) etc etc. I purchased this to utilise as a face mask. Firstly may I see I received this ahead of the stated delivery date which was great. To utilise it as a face mask I mixed it with a few drops of school glue and applied it to my face. Word of warning, this is not for the faint hearted!. After leaving it on for around about 10mins the very black mask transforms from a wet gel like appearance to a dull Matt hard consistency. It is above average pain to peel the mask away. But if you are brave enough to dare this it has its benefits as it acts not only as a skin exfoliator, but draws out those unsightly black and white heads and any unwanted hair. Once I was able to bare the pain of removing the mask I was left with baby smooth skin which felt truly invigorated. I couldn't recommend the quality of this product highly enough. Well worth the price tag as very little of the product was required for the purpose I needed it for. Would definitely buy again.

I've tried a few different charcoal powders but I can say this is the best one I've bought my teeth are a lot brighter.

Doesn't feel too gritty. No mess at all if you open the seal only 1/3 or 1/2 way as suggested by someone in the reviews.

I've never left a review on anything I've bought from Amazon but I had to for this because I love it! Ordered on the 26th of Dec. and received it in the mail packaged very securely on the 28th with Amazon Prime for students. Read a lot of reviews on various charcoal powders and how it is messy to open so I took the advice some reviewers left and opened it very carefully and then poked tiny holes in the foil covering. Powder immediately started coming out of the tiny holes, cool to watch, but definitely indicative of how potentially messy it would have been! I used it as a mask mixed with non-toxic glue and a few oils (rosehip, joboba and sweet almond). I made masks for me, my mom and my sister and it is best to apply it really thick so it'll be easier to take off. I applied my mom's somewhat thin and she had trouble taking it off easily. It definitely gets out all the dirt and pores and can take off facial hair which I don't mind (but be careful around edges and eyebrows). My skin felt SO soft after and smooth. As far as using it to brush your teeth, I've been using it for two days now and I have definitely noticed a difference especially after the fourth brush. Brushing can get messy so brush close to the sink and spit directly in it (but also keep some sink cleaner and a sponge on deck). It feels a bit weird at first and it tastes like...charcoal...but it works. Definitely have to wash your mouth out a lot afterwards, recommend rinsing with mouthwash too. Your teeth will look gray if you don't rinse out completely but once you do, you will see results after a few brushes. Get this one, especially if you are just getting into skin care and are interested in activated charcoal. For roughly one ounce this is a steal plus you can figure out if you like it instead of buying a 12oz jar for your first time using activated charcoal.

So, I gave Activated Charcoal Powder a shot, and it's been quite an interesting journey. Here's my personal take on this unique product: Pros: Pure Goodness: I appreciate that this charcoal powder is sourced from natural coconut shells and doesn't contain any nasty additives. It's reassuring to know that I'm using something pure and safe. Multifunctional: This stuff is like a Swiss Army knife in my wellness arsenal. I've used it for teeth whitening (it works surprisingly well), as a face mask ingredient, and even for an occasional detox (after consulting with my healthcare professional, of course). Its versatility is a huge plus. Teeth Whitening Magic: If you're looking for a natural teeth whitening solution, this powder has got you covered. It zaps away stains and leaves your pearly whites noticeably brighter in just a few uses. Cons: A Bit Messy: I won't sugarcoat it; working with charcoal powder can get a tad messy, especially when applying it for teeth whitening. But a little post-application cleanup isn't the end of the world. Texture Quirk: The fine powder can feel a bit gritty on your teeth and skin, which might not be everyone's cup of tea. In a nutshell, this Activated Charcoal Powder is like a natural wellness secret waiting to be uncovered. It's got some quirks, but the benefits, especially for teeth whitening and detoxing, make it well worth it. If you're into holistic wellness, this product is worth giving a shot.
