Activated charcoal powder – Eco Collective

Not to be mistaken for the charcoal you typically use for your BBQ, activated charcoal is created by burning carbon rich materials (like wood or coconut shells) at high temperatures. This creates a powder that is very porous which is why it is great for drawing out toxins, dirt and oil. Activated charcoal is generally used in skin, hair and dental care products. We love using it in DIY face masks.

Instructions

Activated charcoal can be used in a homemade face mask or toothpaste powder just add a ½ tsp to any DIY mask or toothpaste recipe! Just a heads up, this is a very fine powder that can get really messy. Handle with care.

Store in a cool dark area in a well sealed container.

Warnings: Pregnant or lactating people, or those with known medical conditions should consult with a physician prior to using product.

Bulk online

This item is a part of our Bulk Online selection! We created this option because we know not every person has access to a local bulk shop for these products, and we want to help you live a little gentler on the Earth no matter where you live. Each product is filled to order in our bulk section, and shipped right to your door with plastic-free packaging and carbon-neutral shipping!

We chose endlessly recylable aluminum bottles for liquids (with reusable specialty lids for dispensing products), and compostable bags for dry goods, due to the lightweight nature of each, to minimize shipping emissions. We ship a few thicker gel-consistency products in reusable glass mason jars – we encourage you to reuse these jars at home, and we even have a collection of mason jar accessories to transform your jar for another use!

If you’re local to Seattle, check out our zero waste bulk for store pickup option!
