Overview
MB Herbals sells this activated coconut shell charcoal as a loose powder in a 1 pound, 16 ounce bag, sized for buyers doing repeated DIY batches rather than a single project. The label is explicit that this product is for external use only, positioning it for applications like face packs, face masks, homemade soap making, and tooth powder rather than as a supplement to be swallowed.
Because the count here is measured in weight rather than servings, this is best understood as a raw material for DIY skin and personal care recipes, not a pre dosed product. Buyers typically portion it out themselves depending on the recipe they are following, whether that is a clay based face mask or a soap batch.
Since the label restricts this to external use, it should not be treated as an ingestible activated charcoal supplement, and anyone considering internal use of activated charcoal should look for a product specifically labeled for that purpose and check with a healthcare professional first.
