Kaolin & Bentonite (16 oz. jar)

Calcium Bentonite Clay is the natural way to deep pore cleanse, shrinking pores, and detoxifying the skin, removing toxins, and impurities, revealing a radiant, inner glow.

Kaolin Clay is a gentle exfoliator, removing dead skin cells, improving circulation, smoothing out skin tone thus 'brightening' and 'lightening' the skin's appearance.

By combining, we get the best of both worlds, which is the closest to a time machine that we could create.

Benefits of Calcium Bentonite for Skincare:

1. Detoxification: Bentonite clay is known for its ability to absorb toxins, oils, and impurities from the skin. This detoxifying effect helps to cleanse the skin and improve its overall health.
2. Acne Treatment: The clay's adsorbent properties can effectively reduce excess oil (sebum) on the skin, which is a major contributor to acne. It helps prevent breakouts by removing dirt and bacteria from the skin's surface and can soothe inflamed acne.
3. Soothing Irritations: Bentonite clay can be beneficial for treating skin irritations, including rashes from poison ivy. Its calming properties help alleviate redness and itching.
4. Improving Skin Texture: The minerals present in bentonite clay, such as calcium and magnesium, can enhance skin texture and promote collagen production, leading to firmer and smoother skin.
5. Oil Control: Regular use of bentonite clay can help manage oily skin by reducing sebum production, which can prevent clogged pores and further breakouts.
6. Exfoliation: When used as a mask, bentonite clay can provide gentle exfoliation, removing dead skin cells and promoting a brighter complexion.
7. Hydration: While it absorbs excess oil, bentonite clay can also help retain moisture in the skin, contributing to a balanced and hydrated appearance.
8. Versatile Use: Bentonite clay can be used in various forms, such as masks or scrubs, and can be combined with other natural ingredients like apple cider vinegar for enhanced effects.

Benefits of Kaolin Clay for Skincare

1. Gentle Cleansing: Kaolin clay acts as a natural cleanser, effectively removing dirt and impurities from the skin without irritating sensitive skin. It helps improve the appearance of dull skin by revealing a brighter complexion over time.
2. Oil Absorption: This clay is excellent at absorbing excess oil from the skin's surface, which helps prevent clogged pores and breakouts. Unlike some harsher products, kaolin clay balances oil levels without overly drying the skin.
3. Reduction of Blackheads and Pores: Kaolin clay helps minimize the appearance of blackheads and makes pores look smaller by deep cleaning them. Regular use can lead to clearer skin with fewer visible blemishes.
4. Exfoliation: The clay gently exfoliates the skin, removing dead skin cells and promoting a smoother texture. This helps in maintaining a healthy skin tone and preventing acne.
5. Soothing Properties: Kaolin clay has calming effects on irritated skin, making it suitable for conditions like rashes or insect bites. It can help reduce redness and inflammation associated with acne.
6. Even Skin Tone: Regular application can stimulate skin cell renewal, leading to a more even skin tone and improved overall complexion.
7. Non-Drying: Unlike many other clays, kaolin clay does not strip the skin of its natural moisture, making it suitable for all skin types, including dry and sensitive skin.
