Product features
-
Guerrilla Grind: Chalk Cartel's proprietary blend is a specific "sticky mix" of both fine powder and small chunks of chalk. The company claims this texture provides the optimal amount of coverage to keep hands dry.

High purity: The chalk is a high-content magnesium carbonate blend with no added fillers, extra drying agents, or heavy metals. This reduces skin irritation and provides a long-lasting effect.

Eco-friendly packaging: A core part of the company's mission is using sustainable materials.
-
Kraft paper bags: The loose chalk is packaged in recyclable kraft paper bags.
-
Compostable inner bags: The inner bags that preserve freshness are made from wood fiber and are 100% compostable.

Plant-based windows: Even the small viewing windows on sample bags are plant-based and compostable.
