Bentonite Clay

Formed from volcanic ash, Bentonite Clay swells when mixed with water, creating a smooth, highly absorbent paste. It is commonly incorporated into face masks, body masks, soaps, cleansers, deodorants, scalp treatments, and bath products. Its natural mineral content and oil-absorbing capacity make it especially suitable for oily, acne-prone, or congested skin when properly formulated.

Bentonite Clay is valued for its versatility and is frequently used in formulations designed for deep cleansing and clarifying applications.

• Face & Body Masks: 5 – 100% for deep cleansing and oil absorption
