    Features & Benefits

    Scientific proven benefits of the clay

    Clay is a clever mineral: it identifies the origin of the pain, concentrates itself on and eliminates it.

    Our R&D department is periodically asking well-known European laboratories to launch in vitro and ex vivo studies to develop and diversify the different possible usages of the Velay Green Clay.

    Based on scientific studies’ results the Velay Green clay:

    • Stimulates the immune defenses of the body and regenerates cells.
    • Improves the secretion of the collagen type I (anti-aging).
    • Fights against IL1beta, IL6 and TNF alpha inflammations.
    • Promotes wounds’ healing.
    • Protects the epiderma and the dermis against negative effects of the urban pollution.
    • Absorbs sebum excess after 10 minutes of application.
    • Adsorbs bad smells: almost zero smell after 1h.

    Clay can be used as a powder, a mask, a poultice, a compress, a mouthwash, a mud bath…
