Mojave Living Clay : Calcium Bentonite Clay Powder

Used by many spas, beauty salons and practitioners here in Australia and throughout the world, our Mojave Living Clay is an ultra-pure green clay, rich in trace minerals - making it uniquely suited to deep-cleansing the body of toxins and impurities.

Sourced uniquely from the ancient calcium bentonite deposits of the Mojave Desert, it is ideal for use in many applications such as clay compresses, packs, poultices, baths and body wraps.

Green clay is a natural medium to both cleanse and revitalise the skin, bringing out its natural radiance by stimulating circulation.

How to use:

Here are a few simple examples of how to perform some of the more common applications for green clay in your own home...

Clay detox baths are a gentle yet extremely effective way to assist the body in the elimination of toxic substances and impurities that have accumulated over time.

Below is a quick 2-step guide to taking a clay detox bath.

1. Scatter 1/2 to 1 cup of Mojave Living Clay Powder over the water while the bath is still running (the water pressure will help mix the clay and water more thoroughly). Use only tepid to warm water that you can sit in comfortably for at least 15 minutes - a hot bath may cause you to want to get out before the clay can do its work.
2. Soak for at least 15 minutes, or ideally for as long as you feel comfortable. Add warm water as necessary to maintain a constant temperature.

Clay face masques are a time-tested and all-natural way of deep cleansing the more delicate skin of the neck and face.

Below is a quick 3-step guide to giving yourself a clay face mask.

1. Hydrate Mojave Living Clay Powder to desired consistency by combining 1 part clay to 3 parts purified water (more or less water can be added depending on personal preference). Let stand and swell for 1 hour. It is ready when it has an almost “bouncy” consistency.
2. Avoiding the eye area, apply generously to the face and neck and leave on for 15 to 30 minutes, misting the face with a good quality mineral-water spray from time to time if the layer of clay becomes too dry.
3. Rinse with warm water and apply your favourite toner and/or moisturiser.

You may find that your skin turns 'pink' after applying a clay mask. This is because the clay draws healthy blood to the surface, drawing out ingrained dirt and impurities and allowing the skin to breathe without hinderance.
