This is a dark clay ideal for face masks and mud mask applications. Its color ranges from light gray/green to dark gray. Due to its high content of minerals, sea clay draws oils from the skin, and is rich in algaes, macro- and micro-minerals, as well as sodium and sulphur.
Sea plants, seawater, sea salt and oceanic clay have long been popular physical-therapy ingredients in Europe. Recommended as medical therapeutic agents as early as 1578, seawater and sea derivatives were administered for rheumatism and general rehabilitation.
If you will search online, you will come across a couple of companies which supply spas and salons with expensive body wrap products and you will see that sea clay is an important ingredient in body wraps to lose inches and cellulite.
Sea clay is also recommended for use on horses to apply on minor cuts, scabs and so on. For horses it may be used after strenuous workouts (cold to cool and tighten legs and muscles, to pack hooves and cool them after work on hard ground) (warm to reduce stiffness and maintain mobility, to relax and soothe tired muscles). Please consult a veterinarian prior to treating any animals.

I use this in a facial bar that I formulated and it works wonders for acne prone skin. It is a wonderful clay and I love the color and texture it gives to my cold process soap.

This clay gave my cold process soap a wonderful, rich olive green color. I did find it a little drying even when mixed with a lot of olive oil, so I only use it for my face. I also made a mask out of it just by wetting it with some chamomile tea. I tried to use the clay to color half a batch of soap and swirl them together but it didn't work out too well; granted, it was my first time trying to swirl so I may have done it incorrectly, but the two colors just blended together into one.

I originally purchased this to use as an additive and colorant for soap but also used this to make a mask for myself and my daughter. I like to experiment with different clays and but this I will purchase again.

I use this as CP soap, nice color and no odor. I also use it as a mask, it gets powdery when it gets dry. Feels very nice after using it.

I bought this to use in soap but my teenage daughter asked for a clay mask the other day so I tried it. She and my younger daughter have been in a show and have been wearing lots of stage makeup. I whipped up a batch using green tea for the liquid and a few drops of tea tree and lavender essential oils. Our skin felt so smooth and soft and invigorated afterward. I have made masks using other types of clay and this one was the best. Interestingly, it worked well for all of us despite the fact that we have different kinds of skin (middle aged and dry for me), oily for my teen daughter, and normal for the little one. I did not find it drying at all.

I use this in my body scrub with Sea salt and essential oils. There is an odor--unappealing to some, fine for others--but it's one that is background, even complementary to the lemony, woodsy essential oils I use. It's so nourishing and amazing for the skin, particularly problem skin like acne. There really is no replacement for Sea clay.

This is very fine and incorporates so smoothly into my CP soaps for coloring. There is no "fishy" odor and it's a great addition to soaps!

I love this clay as a coloring agent in cold process soap. The color can be varied according to how much is used or it can be blended with other natural colors. I really like the feel of the soap when using this clay it makes a great addition to soaps used for shaving.

Love this clay. My next order will be larger. Very potent oil absorbing clay. Only need a little bit. I used about a tsp per pound of CP. Also makes a great natural olive green color. I did some beautiful swirling with this. Great on skin. Makes washing with soap feel like 20 mins with a mask. Good Stuff.
