Overview
Prescribed For Life packages 8 ounces of coconut shell activated charcoal as an ultra fine, food grade powder. It is a vegan, single ingredient charcoal meant to be mixed into masks, pastes or other DIY formulations rather than eaten straight.
Coconut shell charcoal is favored over wood based charcoal for its finer, more consistent particle size, which matters for anyone using it in skin applications where grit is noticeable. This is raw bulk powder with no capsules or added ingredients, so the buyer supplies the rest of the recipe.

Who it's for
Fits people who want a plain, food grade activated charcoal base for homemade skin care such as clarifying masks or scrubs. Not suited to anyone wanting pre dosed capsules for internal use or a finished, ready to apply product.
