*to any 1st timers: set up your work space and CAREFULLY open your package, taking care to slowly spoon out the needed amount into your funnel/bottle/jar/cup* This stuff really works, I am astonished! This brand is excellent quality & has neatly packaged this fine powdery charcoal. There is foil double seal packaging that protects the product and keeps moisture out. I greatly appreciated the pdf book of uses that came with the purchase as well, it has been so helpful as a reference. As noted by the seller, just message them and they email the book to you immediately after purchase. Yes, i saw some reviewers complaints about the mess but, as with any fine powdery substance you must take care opening the package and using this dark powder as it will darken any surface- don't use on/near carpet! However, this fine powder is well worth the effort taking care to slowly get it out of the package for ENDLESS uses!! 1) your hair (I just added a bit into my shampoo bottle and Voila! Your hair is so soft & you'll have healthier follicles after your regular washing and conditioning. 2) Whitening teeth 3) Gardening - spreading light bit over top of soil mound on potted plants 4) Houseplants - mixing small amount into water bottle and spritzing base of plants 5) Face scrub - mix with baking soda, let dry .and rinse 6) Face mask 7) antacid - mix 1tsp with 8oz water and drink, follow with straight water (8 oz). I haven't baked with it yet but hope to try soon. This has started me on an incredible journey of discovery learning all benefits and uses of charcoal and other natural resources. I will continue to use this product, this brand, as a part of my daily regimen. Re: the previous reviewers complaints of the mess, I put a 'PSA' at the top of my review, lol, so maybe more people will open carefully use and still enjoy this awesome product

Works great! As i use it for bruises by mixing it with ur favorite lotion then wrap it and really works.

I use the activated charcoal powder. To treat external wounds such as bug bite, wasp sting, blisters on hands, heels, toes, if bubble pops to soon. Scratches, any cut on my skin that is not going to need stitches. Pimples It works well on infections. I will have a tool slip from time to time I will stab my hand with a screwdriver Band-aid 1st aid ointment. And it inevitably gets infected. The A.C. powder has never felled to dry up the infection, I use to pour rubbing alcohol on it. It would kill the infection would have to keep it covered tightly. Because it also killed the good skin cells. Oh and it hurts. My charcoal has never caused me any pain. But it has taken poison ivy oak right out of my skin. If I get snake bit I will put this on the bite on my way to the hospital. It has so many uses I recommend everybody get some. Those are things I have personally used it for plus other things such as of I made a Impromptu water filter. If you're gonna make a mask out of activated charcoal do not get it wet and try to breathe through it. Like I said there are so many uses for it it's really ridiculous not to have little bit around the house. Spiders, scorpions, mosquitoes, hornets. Then there all the internal uses Detoxification of your body. Sores in your mouth by to side a your cheek in the next swells up so you keep bitting it. I would not try to use it for a sinus infection or near infection. Just due to how the powder would have to get to the infection and get back out of your body. If can be use in your underwear & socks like you would baby powder. And I have never had a problem washing the charcoal off of my body anywhere. I have however on more than one occasion could not wipe the dry powder off me and just made it worse evertime I tried. When it mixes with sweat It don't turn black and run down your body. Another cool thing about this when it gets wet or damp if you make little Moisture Packets or canisters For instance I have some little things that I made that I put in my medicine bottles it not only keeps medicine dry but keeps it from stinking. I use some kind of fabric or not, I'm not real sure it's about the same thing as a tea bag. I had a big sheet of this material I cut off what I need I fold it put charcoal in and it glue it shut. When they seem to be damp or whatever they take on the medicine bottle smell. Just a little low heat in the oven and it'll dry all the moisture out of it. It is by no means sterile after you use it. You may be able to wash it in something And then put it on a cookie sheet turn the oven up really high. Seems to me of a kind of work like a dry autoclave. But in all my years of putting it in medicine bottles. I've only had to take each one of them out twice andPut them in the oven. Sorry about the novel I just really got excited.

Great product! I watched the video one of the consumers posted about this product and I agree with her, that it is a great product with many uses however you have to be careful handling it because it makes a mess. The powder is very fine and it can go everywhere. Also, when you are using it as a mask, it will dry in a few minutes and start flaking/cracking off and make a mess so just be aware of that and lay down towels or wear t-shirts you don't mind getting dirty ((the product comes out in the wash, but still... I would prefer to wear a t-shirt while applying this product)). After buying this product, I also got a free e-book with page after page of the different uses and benefits of activated charcoal which I am excited to read. One more thing, I made a paste using this product and aloe vera juice and used it as a face mask... I noticed it made my skin very soft and bright. I used a new moisturizer after the mask and I noticed the next day , I had a few break outs on my face. I don't know if its the moisturizer or the product/aloe vera combo because my sister and mom used the mask too and had smooth soft bright skin and no break outs, (they did not use my moisturizer).

This is the best brand I’ve found. The grind is extremely fine and consistent. We’ve returned other, a bit less expensive brands because they simply didn’t compare.
