Where is it from?
This mysterious clay is thought to have its origins in ancient volcanic ash beds that were laid down millions of years ago. This unique geology allows bentonite clay to absorb up to 12 times its own weight in water, making it a powerful choice for those seeking out natural and eco-friendly skincare options. Its ability to replenish moisture and provide skin with essential minerals like calcium, iron and magnesium makes bentonite clay a great option for moisturising and purifying the skin.
