Product Info:
Bentonite Clay is a highly absorbent natural clay derived from volcanic ash. It is renowned for its detoxifying, purifying, and oil-absorbing properties, making it ideal for deep-cleansing skincare formulations. Rich in minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and silica, it helps remove impurities, unclog pores, and soothe irritated skin. Commonly used in face masks, body wraps, scrubs, and scalp treatments, Bentonite Clay is particularly beneficial for oily and acne-prone skin.
Formulation Guidelines:
- Best used in water-based formulations like masks and scrubs.
- Hydrate by slowly adding water or hydrosols while mixing to prevent clumping.
- Can be blended with other clays, botanical powders, and essential oils for enhanced benefits.
- Avoid using metal utensils when mixing, as Bentonite Clay may interact with metals and reduce effectiveness.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture.
