This purple coloured clay comes from clay pits in Brazil. This clay is a great way to add an all natural colour to your soap, as well as using it in scrubs, masks and mud packs. Brazilian clays contain naturally occurring pigments, their colour being achieved by variations in mineral content and oligoelements found in the soil, therefore do not contain any synthetic dyes or pigments.
Purple Brazilian Clay is particularly good for sensitive skin. This clay is suitable for detox formulations and improves emulsion stability.
All our clays are totally natural and can be used alone, or blended together, and you can create gorgeous, naturally coloured soaps using a combination of all our clays or just this clay alone. We have chosen to stock the Purple and Yellow Brazilian clays, as these two colours are unusual and unique, and together with our regular range of clays, you have a full colour palette to work with.
