I’d been hankering to try buffing up my pearly whites with activated charcoal for wee while so when Carbon Coco offered to send me their ultimate carbon kit I happily accepted and gave it go!
Curious if activated charcoal really can brighten your smile?
Check out my honest review and find out with Fab over 40: Does Charcoal Teeth Whitening Really Work?
Years of brushing, flossing, regular check-ups + not smoking, drinking or eating teeth-staining-foods means my teeth are pretty awesome already but a whiter, brighter smile is always welcome!
My ultimate carbon kit arrived containing the teeth whitening powder, activated charcoal toothpaste, a bamboo bristle toothbrush and a handy storage bag.
But what is Carbon Coco exactly?
Carbon Coco is a 100% Natural Teeth Whitener. It naturally whitens & polishes teeth, strengthens enamel and detoxifies your mouth without any chemicals and added nasties.
What’s in it?
100% Organic Coconut Shell Activated Charcoal with a hint of bentonite powder and lemon myrtle.
Brushing a pitch black powder across your teeth for 3 minutes absolutely takes some getting used to (+ will cause much hilarity for your kiddo) but as it’s flavourless and very fine I definitely prefer Carbon Coco powder over gritty, sour-tasting baking soda any day!
After rinsing out the teeth whitening powder it’s time to brush with the yummy activated charcoal toothpaste. I love the light yet refreshing spearmint flavour of this!
Having lived throughout N. America, Europe and Asia I’ve had the unique experience of having brushed with loads of different types, flavours and densities of toothpaste and have become somewhat of a toothpaste connoisseur.
Unfortunately the toothbrush snapped after only 3 uses but I was happy to go back to using my bamboo toothbrush and it works just fine with the powder kit too!
As my teeth were already pretty darn white to begin with I can’t comment on Carbon Coco’s tooth whitening abilities but I absolutely love how clean my teeth feel + the light refreshing spearmint toothpaste keeps my mouth fresh too!
Will I keep using my Carbon Coco kit? Absolutely yes!
