Clay - Bentonite (Sodium)
Bentonite Clay is used both internally and externally. We have only used this clay externally. Gray/cream color, this is one of the most popular clays. This Bentonite Clay is a Sodium Bentonite and 100% natural without additives. Created from Volcanic ash and sun-dried, this clay expands when wet, absorbing as much as several times its dry mass in water. It contains over 61% Silica. The mineral content is large with 25-35 trace minerals. This clay is found throughout Montana and Wyoming, this clay coming from Wyoming.

Recipe for a Clay Mask: (Can be used on your entire body)
2 Tablespoons Clay
1Tablespoon Pure Water (add more or less depending on the consistency you like)
Mix the water in slowly while stirring. Can add 1 drop of essential oil such as German Chamomile (Matricaria recutita).
Apply to your face and leave on for 15-20 minutes. Rinse with warm water. I like to use a hydrosol as a toner. Enjoy your radiant skin!
Options: Use hydrosol for the water part for a more hydrating mask.
