I Tried Charcoal Toothpaste To See If It Actually Worked
Is this the new Fit Tea?
Hello! My name is Jemima and I'm a sucker for infomercials and sponsored ads.
I spent $100 on a Magic Bullet after seeing their 20-minute ad on daytime TV. So as soon as I started seeing black-mouthed Carbon Coco promoted ads all over my Instagram, I had to get on board.
Despite the fact that using it makes your mouth look like a portal to hell, Carbon Coco claims to make your teeth noticeably whiter.
It's made with activated charcoal – a 100% natural ingredient which binds to the nasties that often discolour teeth (eg. plaque, wine, or coffee).
Basically, every night you're supposed to brush with activated charcoal powder for three minutes. Then you rinse, and use the charcoal toothpaste like you would a regular toothpaste.

I thought the charcoal would taste like crap but it didn't really have a taste at all – just a hella gross texture.
