Product description

Green cosmetic clay (illite) is one of the most versatile clays. It is a 100% natural fine powder rich in oxides, magnesium, calcium, potassium, manganese, phosphorus, silicon, copper and selenium. It is ideal for face masks and body wraps, but is also very often used in soap making. It is also very popular as a green natural dye. Illites are formed by the further weathering of bentonite - hence their original English name, ultra-ventilated.

When used on the skin, it helps to draw out harmful substances and impurities from the body, while gently toning and not drying out the skin. Helps to improve blood circulation. Green Illite is suitable for all skin types, including dry and sensitive skin. The clays are miscible with water and insoluble in oils.
