Superfine French Green Clay comes from the sedimentation of Silico-aluminum, its colouring is the result of the oxides contained in these rocks. Over thousands of years in the earth, green clay absorbs a wealth of essential minerals from the plant kingdom including Silica, Magnesium, Calcium, Iron, Potassium, Cobalt, Manganese, Zinc, Selenium, Copper, Alumina, Phosphorous and Sodium. After removal from the ground, the Illite is naturally sun-dried, capturing the solar energy, which activates the vital minerals and trace elements within. Green clay has a neutral pH of 7, posessing a deep cleansing action, removes dead skin cells from the epidermis, absorbs impurities, excess sebum and oils to keep the skin smooth, fresh and radiant and has a regenerating effect.

The clay works by adsorbing impurities from the skin cells, by causing dead cells to slough off, and by stimulating the flow of blood to the epidermis. As the clay dries on the skin, it causes the pores to tighten and the skin to feel firm. Green Clay also possesses analgesic properties effective in relieving muscular or joint pains by decongesting the affected area.

The body is incapable of synthesising cartenoids and therefore must obtain these elements through diet or absorption through the skin.
