WHAT IS BENTONITE CLAY POWDER?

Bentonite clay powder is a fine, natural clay that makes a soft-textured clay when mixed with water. It is derived from volcanic ash from various locations across the world. It belongs to a particular group of clay called ‘smectite’ which are known for containing hydrous aluminum silicates including sodium, calcium, iron, and magnesium.

BENTONITE CLAY POWDER BENEFITS

As it is not known to many, this natural clay comes in two kinds namely sodium bentonite clay and calcium bentonite clay. Sodium bentonite absorbs more water and draws more skin impurities out of the skin whilst calcium bentonite is gentler, absorbs less water, and can give more skin-friendly benefits. Although they are both deemed to be beneficial in many areas, calcium bentonite clay would still be the preferred type of clay for skincare purposes.

Calcium bentonite clay has grown in popularity especially in the cosmetic industry for its all-encompassing skincare benefits. The minerals present in the clay help absorb all the dirt, grease, and sebum. This makes it ideal as a main ingredient in most clay face mask products that aim to clear blemishes and acne spots.

Aside from that, it also helps combat skin irritations and facial redness. Because calcium bentonite clay acts as a facial cleanser, it then makes the skin appear soft and smooth through constant use. In fact, it even became one of the most popular and widely used skin exfoliator.

Most DIY skincare enthusiasts would even add this beauty essential in skin lotions, creams, and moisturisers to create a barrier that protects the skin from the damaging effects of many cosmetic ingredients. In haircare, bentonite clay also be used to provide moisture that ultimately makes the hair appear less frizzy, thicker, and fuller.

WARNING: The mineral content found in bentonite clay can act as an irritant and should not be applied to the skin more than once a week. Do not mix this substance with a metal spoon or store it in a metal container. Always use wood, glass or ceramic products for mixing and storing.
