Our Bentonite external clay is a Sodium Bentonite which is also known as Western Bentonite and High Swelling Bentonite.
Bentonite clay (a combination of montmorillonite and volcanic ash) is a highly absorbent clay best suited for oil skin. It is a fine powder, odorless and tasteless, insoluble in water, swelling to about eight times its weight when water is added.
Uses: Suspending and colloidal agent in the manufacture of soap, also used in cosmetics and directly on the body as a mask. Bentonite powder is added to soap at trace to help oily skin or as an additive in shaving soap (1T per #of soap).
In masks it's not normally used as the predominant clay due to it's ability to absorb large quantities of water (thus making the mask product take a very long time to dry). It is, however, used in smaller quantities to make mask products more elastic. Also used to suspend pigments, thicken lotions and absorb oil.
To make a facial clay, add distilled water to a small amount of clay. Other additives you may add to a facial mask instead of distilled water are plain yogurt, honey, liquid vegetable glycerine, whipped egg whites or mayonnaise. Apply with clean fingers to clean skin, let dry 15 to 20 minutes, rinse off with warm water, pat skin dry, repeat once a week if necessary. Clay masks will draw out impurities and toxins and may help with acne and similar skin conditions. Origin - USA; CAS# - 1302-78-9; INCI - Bentonite; Mesh - 80% thru 200, 40% thru 325 (dry basics).

Great to use for the face and as an ingredient for your deodorant to pull out toxins and bacteria. Really great quality and great price!

Wonderful weekly mask! I love the results that I get from using the Bentonite Clay! I use it for a face mask once a week. Thanks for the great price!

I use bentonite for clay masks along with some EO's, and it blends into a perfectly smooth paste. It comes double wrapped in a ziploc bag, which makes storage convenient. If you haven't tried this before, it is a must! Also, at this price, you can't really go wrong.

Don't let the price fool you. You will be getting GREAT benefits! Does a better job than the commercial product they sell that you know nothing about that's in the ingredients. This is a excellent clay! Great for hair & skin. At least for me it gave me good benefits. Will continue to buy. And Camden has the best price of course!

This is the real deal. Just as good as the stuff I was paying 4 times the price for. Use in soap, scrubs, masks and fizzies.

Made the best shave soap ever and facial soap with this clay.
OK seriously since using the clay soap I have had several people compliment me on my skin. It cleared my blemishes and seems to even skin tone. Could be other ingredients but I'm convinced its the clay. Its the only different thing!
