I
am not going to lie. I was very skeptical before trying Carbon Coco’s natural
teeth whitening kit. The concept that natural products can whiten one’s teeth
without having to go to the dentist was foreign to me. After I tried it, I
instantly saw results! I was shocked. In the past, I have tried whitening toothpastes
although I never thought it was doing anything and if it did it wasn’t noticeable
right away. Although, Carbon Coco is the only teeth whitening product I have
used that I saw a noticeable difference.
First
you start with the natural teeth whitening power which is made of activated
charcoal. This is an oxidized version of charcoal. When I did more research, I
found that many cultures around the world have been using charcoal has a tool
to whiten/clean teeth. I also found that many people are against using activated
charcoal. They say the long term effects are unknown but there are tests that
prove it works and the natural ingredients have no negative effects. Many who
are against using activated charcoal are those that benefit from the traditional
ways of teeth whitening. Which means they are losing a portion of their income because
more people are trying activated charcoal. I would advise trying it out for
yourself and coming to your own conclusion. I personally use it once in a while but
not daily.
When
I tried it for the first time I was expecting an odd taste but there wasn’t any.
I would even say there isn’t really a taste but you definitely know that
something is in your mouth. After brushing for 3 to 5 minutes you rinse the power
out. Then you use the tongue scraper to get the remaining power from your tongue
because once it mixes with your saliva it sticks easily to your tongue. Then
you brush your teeth with the activated charcoal toothpaste which has a sweet minty
taste. After thoroughly brushing for 3 – 5 minutes you rinse again. Ta-da! You
are done.
