What does this mean?
We are THE Source!
For over 40 years, we have been the wind beneath the other brand's wings for most clay mineral skin care brands out there. Not only do we own the mines, mine, and refine our minerals for our own brand, but for many brands on the market today. We felt it was about time we offered our pristine minerals direct to our customers and fans.
Our Calcium Bentonite is from the Clay Dunes of the Green Desert located in the Mojave Desert, California, while our Kaolin from the white crested mountain tops in the Kern River Valley, California.

Directions for Use:
- Combine equal parts clay & water (apple cider vinegar can be substituted for half the water) in a non-metallic mixing bowl with a non-metallic utensil.
- Stir gently, slowly adding more liquid or clay until a creamy paste is formed.
- Apply evenly and generously to the face or skin and allow to dry for 10-15 (5-10 minutes for sensitive skin)
- Remove mud mask with warm water & pat skin dry with towel.
- Finish by applying moisturizer or serum.
It all starts with Ore
Every morning, we rise with the sun, digging our fingers into the fresh Earth to retrieve Nature's Bounty. We then allow the clay to bake in the sun for days in the cleansing sun of the Mojave Desert in California.
Refine & Mill
After the clay ore has been kissed by the sun for days, we then mill and refine into a fine powder with particles small enough to pass through a fine sieve for quality and consistency.
Prepared & Packaged for You
The refined clay is then stored in the highest quality cosmetics grade, food safe packaging to maintain freshness until you are ready to use. Whether you enjoy The Standard 16 oz. jars or take some Singles for the weekend away, California Biology is your skin's best friend.

Pelotherapy
Pelotherapy is the therapeutic use of mud, or more specifically, treatment by mud baths.
Utilizing the curative power of the Earth in practices such as Pelotherapy should, we believe, truly be considered a lifestyle modification; it should be adopted as an integral part of healthy living. There is no substitute for the benefits that quality healing clays can provide both in and on the body.
With all the contaminants, pollution, and heavy metals we experience on a daily basis, it is critical that we support the liver and kidneys by detoxifying through the biggest organ of the body, the skin.
Give it a try, you know you want to!
