I can't open Instagram or Facebook without seeing an ad for carbon toothpaste. Naturally I was quite intrigued, but also very hesitant at the same time. I googled a few different brands but was unsure who to try, so I opted out. As fate would have it, I was contacted by Carbon Coco about reviewing their best selling kit. Obviously I said yes!
Carbon Coco has a few different options available and today I'm talking about their best selleing kit: the Ultimate Carbon Kit ($59.95). This kit contains Activated Charcoal Polish, Activated Charcoal Toothpaste and a bamboo bristle toothbrush.
Carbon Coco products features oxidized, medical-grade activated charcoal to safely whiten teeth and freshen breath. Unlike traditional teeth whitening pastes/gels/strips, this is chemical and additive free - perfectly suitable for those with sensitive teeth!
The ingredient list is short and sweet - 100% Organic Coconut Shell Activated Charcoal with a hint of bentonite powder and lemon myrtle. It's also cruelty free!
It's a very simple process that begins with the use of the Activated Charcoal Polish. Simply dip your damp toothbrush into the powder and brush your teeth as usual. The powder is slightly gritty and has no flavour whatsoever. After 2 minutes you rinse (carefully) and follow with the Activated Charcoal Toothpaste. The toothpaste has a minty flavour that's amazing and it foams up a lot. After one to two minutes you rinse again and you're done. Carbon Coco claims that you will see results within 14 days and if you don't, you can get your money back.
Now if I'm being honest, my teeth were fairly white to begin with. I did/do have a bit of staining between my teeth and I can say that i've noticed a slight difference. Keyword slight. I will say that I noticed a huge difference in the way my teeth and mouth felt. I know that sounds weird, but it's true! My mouth has never felt cleaner and my teeth have never felt smoother. The only thing I can compare it to is the feeling you get after you visit the dentist.
The only thing I don't like about this set is how messy it is. When you open the polish, powder flies out and leaves black smudges all over my bathroom vanity. Worse than that is the mess it leaves in the sink. You definitely need to wash out your sink when your done and frankly, it's a bit of a pain. Oh, and it leaves a bit of a mess in your mouth too. Pieces of charcoal get lodged under your gums and stuck to your tongue. Not a huge deal, but worth noting.
All in all I'm fairly happy with this product. I love that it's natural, chemical free and most importantly, doesn't irritate my teeth or gums. I will definitely be reaching for it often!
