I got this after doing research because it was pregnancy, friendly, and all natural, and after using it just once, my skin was glowing! Definitely a great purchase and I will be purchasing again. I did purchase separately the bamboo bowl set with a little mixing knife and applicator, so definitely get that when purchasing this as well. Complete poor reduction, easy to use just mix with cold water, easy to remove if you use a warm washcloth.
It’s kind of hard to mix smooth. It also starts to make my skin itch terribly about five minutes in, so I have stopped using it.
Good
Clean package. Arrived on the time needed. And I know what irritates my gut. This stuff is a friend of gut. It might vary person to person. I like it.

There is just nothing like a clay mask. I get nostalgic when I use this product as I think back on all of the times my friends and I had sleepovers that always included a clay mask for everybody. Although I am far advanced from then in years, I am still a clay mask lover. This one in particular was extremely refreshing. I love the way it feels as the clay dries and hardens, and then the way my face feels after it's all been washed off. I love applying moisturizer immediately after washing off the mask. The smell is fine, although I've tried other brands that I couldn't say the same about. I enjoy using other masks as well as other types of cleansers, but my "home base" is always going to be clay. Man can't replicate the earth ingredients in clay masks and I just find everything about them soothing and comforting. I highly, highly recommend this mask!
High quality bentonite clay. It has a multi-purpose usage. It’s great for face masks and soaking in the tub for detoxification. The bentonite clay pours into the water so easily, no clumps in the water. My skin feels very smooth after each use.
This Indian clay mask comes in a generous amount, great value, it’s going to last me a long time. It does a great job at cleaning out pores, just like you’d expect from a classic Indian clay mask and doesn'thavea strong scent. But it definitely leaves my skin feeling tight and dry afterward, so a good moisturizer is a must. Great for a deep clean, just be sure to follow up with a moisturizing cream.

This product got rid of blackheads I’ve had for 20 years. Highly recommend. And i was shocked how well it worked on my husband’s rough oily skin. He literally glowed after. Impressed
When I first opened the package, there was a little spillage but probably from packaging; this is a very light powder. Benzonite is excellent. Indeed very good for helping with problem skin, detoxing, teeth whitening and even mosquito bites! Mix with apple cider vinegar or distilled water!
Just get it! I love a mud mask and this one works beautifully. My skin feels so clean after using. I have used other clay masks in the past and this one works just as well.
This comes as a powder and turns into a paste when you mix it with water and is super easy to use. As soon as I put it on, I could instantly feel it tightening and pulling out impurities. My skin felt clean, smooth, and refreshed right after. Definitely something I’ll keep using when my skin needs a reset.
This calcium bentonite clay is the real deal! I use it as a face mask once a week and can literally feel it pulling out impurities. My pores look smaller, my skin feels tighter, and any breakouts calm down quickly. Mixes easily with apple cider vinegar or water. A little goes a long way—definitely a skincare staple!
This is a great product. I bathed in it daily.
The California BIOLOGY Calcium Bentonite Native American Healing Clay is a powerful tool for anyone looking to upgrade their skincare routine. This 100% natural product is made from green desert calcium bentonite clay that's mined in California's Mojave Desert - a region known for its high-quality, absorbent clay. You'll get a loose, ultra-fine powder that's easy to mix with water or apple cider vinegar (just be sure to use a non-metallic bowl). If you have oily skin or acne, this clay can be a real game-changer. It helps reduce blackheads, minimize pore size, and leave your skin feeling smooth and detoxified. You'll likely notice a difference after just one use - your skin will feel clean and look brighter. While you most often will use this as a facial mask, it has many other uses -- you can also use it as a body mask, for foot soaks, and even as a scalp treatment to absorb excess oil. The 16oz jar is a great value - you'll only need to use a small amount (about 1-2 teaspoons) for a full-face mask. As an added bonus, the clay is free from harsh chemicals like parabens, sulfates, and synthetic dyes, making it a great choice for anyone looking for clean, natural skincare. Just be sure to follow up with a moisturizer.
Wonderful formula - feels scrumptious on the skin - I love the way my skin and hair look after using.
This CB Calcium Bentonite Native American Indian Healing Clay is the real deal! I absolutely LOVE it.

You can really tell it’s high quality and pure, and a little goes a long way. If you want deep pore cleansing and maximum detoxification, this living clay is a must-have in your skincare routine. Highly recommend! 🌱💚
Just tried this today and my 73 year old skin is glowing! Looking forward to younger and younger skin.
I absolutely love the CB Calcium Bentonite - Indian Healing Clay! It feels like a premium product — the quality is great, and it really gets deep into my pores to leave my skin super clean and refreshed. I use it as a face mask, and I noticed a difference after just one use. The packaging is also really nice, which I appreciate. Definitely a 5-star product and a new favorite in my skincare routine!
I am very pleased with this clay mask. The area around my nose is oily and I normally have one or two black pores. I have been looking for a solution to this problem for a long time. My sister suggested that I try this clay mask. Not only did it clean the black dots and the pores, it also tightened my whole face.
This is a great simple and natural clay mask. Just mix abit with water, apply it, leave on for about 10 minutes and wash off. I have quite sensitive skin and this mask works great for me. I didn't see any dramatic results after removal; my skin just felt clean and fresh. The smell of the clay is subtle and abit earthy which I like. I do get clogged up pores from time to time and using this regularly should help with that. I will update my results after using it a few more times. Overall Im pleased with the product
I mix this with apple cider vinegar for a stronger poor cleansing and tightening effect. If you've never mixed this with apple cider vinegar before, try a small area on your wrist to test to see if you get any allergic reaction. Over I like that this in powder form so I can make my own clay mask whenever I need to use it.
It was easy to mix some of this in a plastic bowl with water. It went on and I felt a tightening sensation. Washing off with warm water and a towel was easy. I always follow with moisturizer since it really gets everything on your skin, which is great. Overall, this is a great value and will last a long time.
This is a great value for Bentonite Clay. The texture is fine and feels good on my skin. There is no added scent, which is preferable. My skin feels clean and bright after the application. This product works as well as advertised brands that I've used, and at at a low price of just under 10 dollars at the time of this review for a generous 16 0unce quantity of the dry, loose bulk clay powder. I have issues with pore size due to my diet, but this clay dose tighten my pores temporarily. The container is easy to handle and will keep the clay in good condition until used. I have no complaints.5 stars
Came across this product and had to give it a try. I love that it comes in powdered form for longer lasting product. I’m a baseball mom always on the run and in the sun but will make time for this self love mask.
This California BIOLOGY Calcium Bentonite Native American "Indian Healing Clay" is a deep pore cleansing mask and it does deep clean your face. I do like the large container and using what I need at the moment. Mixing and applying is always tricky with a mask but that I accept. For me I do have to moisturize quite a bit afterwards because it does dry my skin quite a bit from cleaning it so well.
I love using bentonite clay. I mix mine with ACV. Make sure you use glass bowls to mix and something wooden, do not use metal. Works just as well as other brands I have tried. I really like this product and would purchase again.
I've been using clay face masks for years. This one is just as good as other brands I've tried. I like to use apple cider vinegar for a stronger cleanse. This mask is amazing for cleaning our your pores and leaving your skin feeling fresh and clean.I like to oil cleanse after doing these masks to help pull other gunk out of my pores that the mask didn't fully get. Recommend trying this!At only 10 for a lb it's a good price and it will last forever if you only use it once a week.Beware these can clog your pipes. Recommend only washing what is on your face down the drain! I usually have some excess in a jar after I mix some up to put on my face and this always goes in the trash. I wash my face mask off in the shower where hot water will be following it down the drain for 10 minutes after to help prevent clogs. This has worked great for me over the years.
This bentonite clay powder is amazing for my skin! After use, it feels soft and looks way more smooth and supple. The 1 lb jar will last me forever, since a little scoop (maybe a teaspoon?) is plenty to do a facial treatment. Once applied, I can feel the mask "tightening" and it seems like the impurities are being drawn out based on how clean and tight my face feels afterward. I think I may have found my holy grail at under $10 asking price - I love it!
