Where it's used
The applications Bamboo Charcoal Powder is best suited for, and what to expect in each.
Skincare & face masks
Cosmetic-grade bamboo charcoal is the active ingredient in detox masks, cleansers and pore-clarifying formulations. Particle size is milled to a non-abrasive fineness suitable for daily-use products.
Toothpaste & oral care
Activated bamboo charcoal in toothpaste binds surface stains and freshens breath. Food-safe and FSSAI-compatible at our cosmetic grade.
Food-grade detox & supplements
Used in detox capsules, smoothies and ice creams. Each lot is tested for heavy metals against FSSAI thresholds.
Soap & natural-product manufacturing
A key ingredient in charcoal soap bars where the powder doubles as colourant and gentle exfoliant.

How to use bamboo charcoal powder
A simple step-by-step for first-time users — applies to typical home and small-commercial use.
- 1Confirm grade for your application
Cosmetic, food-grade and industrial grades have different mesh sizes and test certificates.
- 2Store sealed
Keep in a dry, sealed container away from solvents, fragrances and direct sunlight.
- 3Mix per formulation
Typical face-mask inclusion: 2–10%; toothpaste: 0.5–2%; soil amendment: 5–10% by volume.
- 4Test in small batch first
Activated charcoal interacts with some emulsifiers and pigments — always pilot before full production.
Storage & shelf life
Store sealed in a dry place, off concrete floors. Avoid direct sunlight and proximity to strong-smelling solvents or fragrances — charcoal adsorbs odours readily. Cosmetic and food-grade powder is shipped in sealed lined sacks. Once opened, transfer to airtight containers; 24 month shelf life unopened, 12 months opened.
Why bamboo for this?
Bamboo charcoal has higher porosity and surface area than wood, with cleaner burn but shorter flame than coconut. Best where adsorption (cosmetics, filtration, air purification) or low-ash performance (shisha, restaurants) matter more than raw heat.

How long does Bamboo Charcoal Powder last?
Burn time for Bamboo Charcoal Powder depends heavily on use case — see the product specifications above for fixed carbon and calorific value, both of which correlate directly with energy delivered per kilogram.
What is the fixed carbon and ash content?
Bamboo Charcoal Powder is produced to a fixed carbon of 82–85% with ash content of < 5% and moisture below 6%. Each lot is tested before despatch and a Certificate of Analysis is available on request for industrial and export buyers.
Is this charcoal food-safe?

What is the minimum order for wholesale or bulk pricing?
Retail orders ship from any variant size shown above. Wholesale pricing (15% off list) starts at 500 kg cumulative across SKUs in a single shipment. Submit a wholesale enquiry via /wholesale/ to request a quote.
Do you ship pan-India? What about export?
Yes — pan-India delivery via Shiprocket's multi-courier network, free above ₹999. Typical metro delivery is 2–4 business days. For export, we ship FOB or CIF from Mundra, Pipavav and JNPT ports with all documentation (HSN 44021000, COA, MSDS, SGS on request).
How is it packaged?

Is GST applicable, and what is the HSN code?
Yes — GST is applied at 5% under HSN 44021000 for charcoal at the despatch stage. CGST + SGST split for intra-state, IGST for inter-state. A GST 2.0 compliant tax invoice is auto-generated on order confirmation.
Why bamboo charcoal for this application?
Bamboo's hollow node structure delivers higher porosity and surface area than wood — the right choice when adsorption (cosmetics, filtration, air purification) or low-ash burn (shisha, restaurants) matters more than raw heat density.
