Montmorillonite green clay

INCI: Montmorillonite

Green clay in 250 g Kraft bag

Of volcanic origin, Montmorillonite is a variety of green clay very rich in minerals and with a neutral pH. In the field of natural cosmetics, its decongesting, purifying and healing properties are verified.

Its use is reserved for mixed to oily, heavy, impure and scarred skin. From then on, its applications are numerous:

• In the same way as with rhassoul, it can be mixed with water or a hydrosol to obtain a paste that can be used as a shampoo-shower gel without surfactants. To avoid a possible feeling of dryness, a small amount of castor oil can be added to the paste.
• The same preparation is suitable for making a mask
• It can be added to our aloe gel or to our basic face cream, always for mixed to oily, impure, scarred skin
• For the same purpose, it can be added to our neutral shampoo and shower gel.
• Internal use possible.

Some hydrosols to associate with Montmorillonite: rosemary verbenone, orange blossom (neroli), laurel, juniper, cypress, scented inula...

If you are thinking of using it internally, Montmorillonite clay water neutralises acidity, soothes sensitive digestive mucous membranes and helps regulate intestinal function.
