PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

French Clay Green, also known as Sea Clay for its beautiful light green hue, is the skin’s very best friend. Its ingredients like silica, magnesium, calcium, and iron are arranged as tiny molecules that essentially “drink” and absorb all the impurities, toxins, and oils from the skin. At the same time, this clay delivers important minerals back into the skin that it may have been missing. This means that French Green Clay can be used to cleanse, exfoliate, smooth, and soften the skin. As it works its magic on the skin, Green Clay also gently pulls the blood toward the skin to boost circulation and improve skin tone. From mud packs and poultices to masks and mineral-based cleansers, French Green Clay is an excellent ingredient to create powerful cosmetic and skin care products.

French Green Clay is rich in minerals and has revitalising and regenerating properties. It tightens pores, cleanses, absorbs excess sebum from the skin, and removes impurities, stimulating blood flow to create healthy and glowing skin. It is your go-to for exfoliation, pore-tightening and oil-absorption.

French Green Clay can be used for face masks,  soap making, detoxifying body wraps, cleansers, face/body scrubs, and other various cosmetics uses.

My Natural Beauty’s French Green Clay is 100% natural mineral powder - the clay is crushed and dried via mechanical treatment, with absolutely no chemical additives at all.
