French Green Clay

French Green Clay, also known as Montmorillonite clay, is a mineral-rich, highly absorbent clay naturally sourced from quarries in France. It is widely used in skincare for its ability to purify, detoxify, and balance oil production, making it ideal for oily, acne-prone, and combination skin. The green colour comes from decomposed plant matter and iron oxides, which contribute to its powerful skin-rejuvenating properties.

Montmorillonite, or Kaolin (depending on source and composition)

Storage: Store in a cool, dry place in an airtight container, away from moisture and direct sunlight.
Shelf Life: Indefinite when stored properly, as it is a natural mineral.

Unrefined: Rich green colour, high mineral content, full therapeutic benefits.
Refined: Lighter in colour, smoother texture, slightly reduced mineral content.

Not essential but highly beneficial for deep cleansing, detoxifying, and balancing excess oil in skincare. Commonly used in face masks, cleansers, and body treatments.

Fine, soft powder that forms a smooth, creamy paste when mixed with liquid.

Earthy, slightly mineral-like aroma.

Very high – French Green Clay has strong absorbent properties, capable of drawing out oil, impurities, and toxins from the skin. It can absorb up to its own weight in water, making it more absorbent than kaolin but slightly less than bentonite.
