The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less.

Overview
This large-format jar from Viva Doria offers a substantially bigger supply of their food-grade, coconut shell derived activated charcoal powder compared to the brand's smaller sizes. The maker markets it as supporting skin brightening as a topical use, alongside general activated charcoal applications.
At under $17, the price per ounce works out favorably against smaller jars in the same product line, making it a reasonable choice for anyone planning to use the powder regularly rather than just sampling it.
With 239 reviews and a 4.6-star average, it carries a smaller but still solidly positive review base within the Viva Doria charcoal powder lineup.
