Indian Healing Clay - 1 Pound - Cosmetic Grade

Bentonite clay, also known as sodium bentonite, is a combination of montmorillonite and volcanic ash. It is a highly absorbent clay specifically designed for oily skin. This fine powder is odorless and tasteless, and when added to water, it can swell to about eight times its weight. Bentonite powder is commonly used in the manufacture of soap as a suspending and colloidal agent, as well as in cosmetics and as a body treatment.

When added to soap at the trace stage, bentonite powder can help address oily skin, or it can be used as an additive in shaving soap at a rate of 1 tablespoon per pound of soap. While it is not typically used as the primary clay in face and body treatments due to its water-absorbing properties, it can be used in smaller quantities to increase the elasticity of treatment products. Additionally, bentonite powder is used to suspend pigments, thicken lotions, and absorb oil.

One popular use of bentonite clay is in Aztec Indian Healing Clay for deep pore cleansing. The fine, odorless, and tasteless powder is widely utilized in body treatments for its deep pore cleaning abilities.
