French Green Clay is used at the finest resorts and spas for facial masks and full-body skin detoxification. Also commonly used as a liver cleanse. Known as illite, French Green Clay is a powerful 100% natural, bio-organic material. Produced from quarries in France, it is mineral-rich in healing micro nutrients, and anti-oxidants for the skin.

Apply directly onto the affected part or onto a piece of gauze which is then placed onto the body with the gauze uppermost.

For Soapmaking: French Green Clay is useful for drawing out impurities, good for oily skin. It adds a nice soft green natural color. Note: French green clay should be mixed to a paste before adding to melted soap base. You can do this by adding 1 tablespoon clay to 1/4 cup melted soap base. Mix to a paste and add what you need to the remaining melted soap base. We suggest using 1/2 tablespoon clay to every 2-lbs of soap base. |
