Activated Charcoal Powder

(Not for consumption)

• Clarifying Face Mask

  Activated charcoal is a great ingredient for a DIY face mask. It has an incredible ability to attract and absorb impurities, toxins, and excess oils from the skin's surface and pores. This deep cleansing action helps to unclog pores and prevent breakouts, leaving your skin refreshed and revitalized. Mix 1 teaspoon of activated charcoal powder with a tablespoon of French green clay, a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar, and a few drops of essential oils. Apply to your face, leave on for 10-15 minutes, and rinse with warm water.

• Charcoal Teeth Whitening

  Activated charcoal can help to gently whiten teeth without damaging the enamel. Its porous structure allows it to bind to and adsorb surface stains on teeth, including those caused by coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco, to restore the teeth's natural color without altering their structure. Simply dip a damp toothbrush into activated charcoal powder and brush your teeth for two minutes. Rinse thoroughly with water.

• Charcoal Detoxifying Shampoo

  Activated charcoal can help to detoxify the scalp and promote healthy hair growth. Just as it draws out impurities from the skin and teeth, activated charcoal can effectively remove excess oils, dirt, and product buildup from the scalp. This can help alleviate issues like clogged hair follicles and contribute to a healthier scalp environment for healthy hair growth. Mix a tablespoon of activated charcoal powder with a quarter cup of water and a quarter cup of mild shampoo. Apply to wet hair and massage into the scalp. Rinse thoroughly.

• Charcoal Body Scrub

  Activated charcoal can help to remove dead skin cells and impurities from the body, revealing smoother softer skin. It can help unclog pores and promote a refreshed and revitalized skin texture. It can also enhance blood circulation and create a clean canvas for better absorption of moisturizers or treatments. Mix a quarter cup of activated charcoal powder with a quarter cup of Argan oil and a quarter cup of sugar. Use as a body scrub in the shower, paying special attention to rough areas like elbows and knees.

• Charcoal Deodorant

  Activated charcoal can help to absorb odors, excess moisture and toxins from the body. It is increasingly being incorporated into natural deodorants for its potential benefits for underarm health. To make a natural deodorant, mix a tablespoon of activated charcoal powder with a quarter cup of baking soda, a quarter cup of cornstarch, and a few drops of essential oil. Apply to underarms as needed.

• Charcoal Bath Soak

  Activated charcoal can help to detoxify the body and soothe sore muscles. Mix a quarter cup of activated charcoal powder with a cup of Epsom salt and a few drops of essential oil. Add to a warm bath and soak for 20-30 minutes. While the process might appear a bit untidy, charcoal residue can be effortlessly washed away using warm water.

• Charcoal Lip Balm

  Activated charcoal can help to remove impurities and moisturize the lips. To create a revitalizing lip balm, mix a tablespoon of activated charcoal powder with a tablespoon of Argan oil and a tablespoon of beeswax (or another wax of your choice). Melt in a double boiler and pour into a lip balm container. This infusion yields a potent balm that brings together the purifying benefits of activated charcoal with the hydrating properties of Argan oil and beeswax for a lip-care essential.

• Charcoal Face Wash

  Activated charcoal can help to cleanse and detoxify the skin, leaving your skin clean and revitalized. Mix a tablespoon of activated charcoal powder with a tablespoon of honey and a tablespoon of coconut oil, or add a teaspoon to your daily cleanser. Gently massage into the skin then rinse with warm water, and pat your skin dry.

• Charcoal Face Scrub

  Activated charcoal can help to exfoliate the skin and remove impurities. Mix a tablespoon of activated charcoal powder with a tablespoon of Argan oil and a tablespoon of brown sugar. Gently massage into the skin to remove dead skin cells, rinse with warm water, and pat your skin dry.

• Charcoal Acne Spot Treatment

  Activated charcoal can help to reduce inflammation and absorb excess oil from the skin. Mix a tablespoon of activated charcoal powder with a tablespoon of aloe vera gel and a few drops of tea tree oil. Apply to acne-prone areas and leave on for 10-15 minutes before rinsing with warm water.
