Our Dusky Rose Mediterranean Clay is a pale, dusky pink colour and has a high sodium and potassium content. 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. Our clays do not contain any synthetic dyes or pigments and are not processed using any chemical means.
Active clays are rich in minerals and trace elements and offer a wide variety of applications in cosmetics and treatments and all clays help to remove toxins and purify the skin.
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. You can blend any of our clays and colourants together to create a vast pallette of natural and unique colours for your products.
Dusky Rose Clay Attributes:
- Reduces irritation due to the sodium and potassium content
- It is specially recommended for de-stress treatments
- The particle size gives a high specific surface with a high absorption capacity, a very useful property for oily and impure skin
- Can be mixed with water and applied directly onto the skin increasing body temperature and allowing better penetration of active ingredients
