Clays

I buy most of my clays from Mountain Rose Herbs. Here is some information about their clays from their website.

Useful, convenient, cleansing, and invigorating, cosmetic clays are one of the most widely applied skin applications, always promising us remarkable results. These exceptional quality clays have a multitude of purposes and each one carries substantial quantities of minerals for general skin health.

Bentonite Clay:

One of our most popular clays which comes from naturally occurring volcanic ash sediments here in the United States. Bentonite Clay has been traditionally used to assist in mineral deficiencies, and to help bind toxins making them more soluble. Because of its naturally soft nature it also makes an invigorating skin and facemask and is commonly found as a medium in body powders. 

French Green Clay:

French green clay has enormous absorbent powers due to the constitution of its micro molecules. It literally "drinks" oils, toxic substances, and impurities from your skin. Its toning action stimulates the skin by bringing fresh blood to damaged skin cells, revitalizing the complexion, and tightening pores. French Green Clay is marvelous for helping to clear problem skin. Use it daily on trouble spots, or weekly as part of a complete facial treatment.  Click to learn more, see a photo, and/or order!

Fuller's Earth Clay:

A sedimentary clay that has been widely used as a skin-lightening agent and is best known for its ability to be applied as a "facial bleach". Because of its enormous drawing capabilities, Fuller's Earth is the number one choice for oily skin and those prone to acne. It literally draws oil from the skin and has been used industrially for this exact purpose. Also works nicely as a bulk ingredient for skin clay recipes.
