Bentonite

Mineral clay

Bentonite is a naturally occurring clay rich in smectite minerals.

Bentonite clay powder and a paste mixed with water. Use it only for the purpose on the product.

How it behaves

It swells when mixed with water and forms a paste, which explains its use in external clay preparations. It also appears in our Mineral Detox Body Scrub.

In our range

A clay’s ability to form a paste does not establish an internal detox benefit. Use the product only for its stated purpose.

For complete ingredients, allergens, suitability and directions, read the current product label. A guide to one ingredient does not describe every possible effect of the finished preparation.
