Ingredient Spotlight - Bentonite Clay

Beauty routines often draw inspiration from ancient rituals, and our ancestors have been utilising natural resources like clay and volcanic ash for millennia. Natural clays, such as Bentonite, can offer significant health advantages for your skin and hair, which is why we incorporate it into our Talc-Free Body Powder and Dry Shampoo Powder.
This rich volcanic ash is loaded with minerals like calcium, sodium, copper, magnesium, potassium, and iron. The plentiful minerals help in detoxifying, cleansing, exfoliating, and soothing your skin and hair.

Detoxify

In its natural powdered form, Bentonite clay possesses negatively charged molecules that attract positively charged ones. As a result, it is highly absorbent. When mixed with water, it binds and removes chemicals and heavy metals from the skin; diminishing impurities and leaving your pores clean and healthy.

Exfoliate and Cleanse Skin and Hair

Bentonite clay is excellent for purifying your pores and sloughing off dead skin cells. Acne, blackheads, and whiteheads stem from an excess of oils. This clay aids in unclogging and reducing impurities from your pores. In addition, bentonite clay, when mixed with other ingredients, serves as an effective hair cleanser. It can help tackle a dry scalp, reduce hair frizziness, and enhance shine.

Soothes Irritated Skin and Improves Complexion

Bentonite clay assists in calming skin irritations and, contributes to smoothing your skin and providing a sought-after glow.

Natural Deodorant

Bentonite's absorbent qualities make it excellent for absorbing moisture and odours, providing relief for irritated skin, particularly in the armpits.

Sun Protection

In addition to natural deodorants and skin and hair care products, bentonite clay has been incorporated into sun protection. Sunscreens formulated with Bentonite and Zeolite minerals are believed to absorb higher levels of UV light, thereby offering enhanced protection from the sun.

Bentonite clay is the perfect formulation for skin and hair care: boasting nourishing minerals, and the ability to soothe and soften. It's no surprise that it's a key ingredient in our popular duo: Talc-Free Body Powder and Dry Shampoo Powder.

The world of skin and hair care is saturated with products containing unnatural ingredients. Therefore, turning to natural ingredients, known for their healing and restorative properties, is the ideal solution for your beauty requirements.
