French Green Clay (Cosmetic Grade)

French Green Clay comes from the sedimentation of Silico-aluminum, its coloring the result of the oxides contained in these rocks. Its unique composition includes Iron, Silica, Aluminum, Magnesium, Calcium, Titanium, Sodium, and Potassium. French Green Clay is prepared for the commercial market by a process of sun-drying and crushing. After the clay has been mined, it is spread in the sun to remove excess water. It is then ground by large hydraulic crushers and micronized, or finely pulverized. The last stage in the process is a final period of sun-drying to remove the last traces of water.

Benefits

• French Green Clay absorbs and removes impurities from the skin, revealing the fresh surface of the skin to provide a healthy-looking glow. 
• When prepared as a mask, the clay dries on the skin causing pores to tighten and the skin starts to feel firm, toned and refreshed. 
• French Green Clay can be used in mineral baths to promote relaxation of the body and a sense of well-being.
