French Green Clay sometimes traded as Sea Clay is by far the most majestic, most effective, and most commonly used mineral skin clays found throughout our global community. French Green Clay (aka Illite clay or Sea clay) contains a cornucopia of valuable elements, which include Montmorillonite, several important mineral oxides, magnesium, calcium, potassium dolomite, silica, manganese, phosphorous, silicon, copper and selenium. Green clay owes its coloration to 2 very important factors, which ultimately decide good quality clay from poor quality clay. There are iron oxides, and decomposed plant matter, mostly kelp seaweed and other algae. The natural green tones found in this luxurious clay are from the very cycles of life this earth uses to regenerate itself. The clay works by adsorbing impurities from the skin cells, by causing dead cells to slough off and by stimulating the flow of blood to epidermis. As the clay dries on the skin, it causes the pores to tighten and the skin to feel firm. Other external uses for the French Green Clay include poultices to treat arthritis, sore muscles, and sprains, bruises, insect bites, stings and minor burn and mineral baths. Some practitioners maintain that the plant matter in the French green clay has anti-inflammatory as well as antiseptic or bactericidal properties. French Green Clay masks should be used only once a week because the clay tends to dry the skin. The French Green Clay is not recommended for naturally dry or sensitive skins.

Rhassoul clay, found only deep beneath the Atlas Mountains in Morocco, has been used for over 1,400 years as a natural beauty treatment for skin. To first look at this reddish brown cosmetic clay you would not think it was anything spectacular, but looks can be deceiving. This clay is a smectic (or swelling) clay, which means that it’s extremely absorbent – much more so than other other cosmetic clays. In fact, it’s made up of three layers with a water layer sandwiched in between. This clay has a unique ability to absorb tremendous amounts of water, which makes it ideal for cleansing and detoxifying the skin. Further, Rhassoul clay contains higher percentages of silica, magnesium, potassium, calcium and other trace minerals than other clays. These minerals make the clay highly detoxifying as they can actually exchange themselves for toxic compounds like metals in the skin. So the clay not only works to remove impurities from your skin, it also replaces them with nourishing trace minerals. Rhassoul clay can be used as a soap, skin conditioner, shampoo or mask for the face and body. It acts like a soap but leaves a sweet scent behind. After clinical studies have been conducted it was found that after a single use, there was less dryness, less flakiness, improved skin clarity, elasticity and firmness, improved skin texture, less surface oil and smoother skin. In short, Rhassoul clay is a superior compound for removing oil and impurities from the skin and hair. It doesn’t contain any petrochemical derivatives and no synthetic preservatives, no surfactant or artificial colors. The clay’s high level of ions exchange makes it ideal for toning and enriching the skin. Rhassoul clay is brown, chunky soap-like clay. Micronized Rhassoul Clay is well suited for more delicate applications like facial masks.
