Activated Charcoal Powder

Our activated charcoal powder is an ultra-fine, high-purity charcoal made from certified organic coconut shells and steam-activated to pharmaceutical grade standards (USP, EUP, BP). Smooth and lightweight, it disperses easily in water and oils, making it a popular ingredient in natural skincare and soapmaking.

Why this charcoal

• Made from organic coconut shells
• Steam activated and pharmaceutical grade
• Ultra-fine texture with virtually no grit
• GMO free, gluten free, vegan, and not tested on animals
• No additives, anti-caking agents, colours, or fragrances
• 100% activated charcoal

Skincare & Soapmaking Uses

• Cold-process and melt-and-pour soapmaking: creates rich natural black and grey tones
• Face masks & cleansers: blends smoothly without grittiness
• Charcoal poultices & body care formulations: ideal where a fine texture is needed

Because the powder is extremely light and fine, a little goes a long way and it can become airborne easily. Wearing gloves, an apron and working carefully will help prevent staining and mess.
