The use of clay for therapeutic purposes dates back to ancient times. We know that the Ancient Egyptians, Australian Aborigines, Native Americans, Indians, Chinese, and even the Ancient Greeks and Romans used clay for healing reasons.
Depending on its origin and composition, clay appears in various shades. White Clay (White Argiletz Clay) is very rich in silicon dioxide (Silica / approximately 46%).
Clay has been known since antiquity for its cleansing properties. Thanks to its rich detoxifying and antibacterial qualities, it effectively removes all kinds of microorganisms that penetrate the skin's pores. By systematically removing all forms of pollutants and oxidizing molecules from the skin, we reduce the chances of premature cellular deterioration, absorbing everything that accumulates on the surface, which contributes to the dull, lifeless appearance of the skin.
Today, White Clay is considered ideal for effective exfoliation of the skin. Its use helps remove dead skin cells and sebum from the pores. It improves local blood circulation and, through its antibacterial action, enhances the body’s ability to address skin irritations. Unlike other clays, it does not strip moisture from the skin, making it the ideal clay for individuals with dry skin. It is particularly "gentle" in its action, making it suitable for sensitive skin as well.
White Clay is an excellent choice for nearly all skin types, as it gently cleanses the skin from impurities and excess oil. It is the best mask for sensitive, mature skin and works well for individuals with normal skin; White Clay also acts as a mild exfoliant. In addition to cleansing the skin, White Clay is renowned for the radiance it imparts. Therefore, if you are dealing with a dull complexion, White Clay is the ideal solution.
White Clay is commonly used as a "beauty mask" (alone or combined with essential oils). If you are making soaps, White Clay will impart unique properties to your creations and give a white color to your soaps.
