Viva Doria Activated Charcoal Powder, Hardwood Derived, Food Grade, 4 Oz

I bought this activated charcoal powder specifically to make my own natural toothpaste, and it’s exactly what I was looking for. The powder is super fine and blends really well with the other ingredients I use, like coconut oil and baking soda. It doesn’t have any weird smell or grit, and a little goes a long way. I also appreciate that it’s food grade and derived from hardwood, makes me feel better about using it in something I’m putting in my mouth.

Bought this for the first time to make handmade soap. It’s perfect and would recommend.

Purchased this charcoal powder for a homemade skin care project, and it works out beautifully. This powder was easy to use, is scent free, and easy to combine with other ingredients. A little goes a long way so, this charcoal powder will last me a while. Great product!

BEWARE!! When opening for the first time (as Kandy found out), if the foil lining the top is pressurized/ballooned out AT ALL-- carry the jar outside and carefully push a fine pin through the foil to depressurize. I live at 7,000 ft elevation and am used to receiving products blown out because of the pressure changes at higher altitudes. I thought putting the jar down into a deep sink and carefully cutting a hole in the foil would be proper precautions. WRONG. Charcoal powder exploded with a loud pop all over the kitchen -- the white counters, my clothes, under my finger nails, in my nose , all over the saltillo tile floor and grout. Even the Roku and Bose devices on the island got covered and I had to wash my shoes since I stepped in it. It was the aftermath of Krakatoa.So remember, the slightest pressure in the foil liner means -- OUTSIDE WITH A FINE PIN AND HAZMAT SUIT IF YOU HAVE ONE. Now that the powder in the jar has settled, I think it will work fine. Good luck! (PS on day 2 post-eruption Im still blowing charcoal powder out of my nose)

I didnt realize how great this charcoal was until I tried to order another brand that was a bit cheaper. This charcoal is great!The other brand we ordered was NOT!Trying to save a few dollars on charcoal ended up being a mistake.The other brand was not as fine and also tasted like a batch or freshly boiled rotten eggs. We all gagged when we tried it.This brand is nice and fine and easy to stir into water, it also tastes very clean with absolutely no bad aftertaste.I will not try another brand again besides this one.I can safely highly recommend Viva Doria activated charcoal.

Great product!

This product works great I use it everyday it works wonders 🖐️

So far looks good. Definitely very fine ad mentioned in reviews which I expected. I can't speak to the digestive part but did use for toothpaste and it worked well. Only disappointed the jar is plastic not glass as mentioned in review and description. I'd like to detox and plastic is a toxin I'd rather not ingest but that's the world today.I will update after trying to make face mask and supplement. I'll just add to veggie capsules.
