binomial name: montmorillonite
mined from quarries in france, green clay is a bio-mineral and contains some of the earth’s most potent minerals and phyto-nutrients such as silica, aluminum, magnesium, calcium, iron, potassium, copper, zinc, algae and kelp. also known as sea clay, it transforms and detoxes, cloaking the face and body.
benefit: highly absorbent, it acts as a sponge, drawing out oils, toxins and impurities from the skin and depositing them into the clay to be washed away. its toning action stimulates the skin by increasing the blood flow for a visible glow, revitalizing the complexion and tightening pores. its anti-inflammatory properties make it beneficial for muscular pain, swelling and arthritic conditions. cosmetically, it’s revered for its ability to tone and strengthen connective tissues and clear and balance out problematic skin. the active plant matter provides an even richer dose of nourishing minerals, improving the overall health of the face.
