French Green Clay is obtained through naturally occurring deposits that originated from volcanic activity that settled into the earth over time. Our product is always sourced directly from France. The light-green color is the result of natural processes—no colorant is ever added to the product. Use it as a facial mask skin cleanser or as an herbal body mask for the entire body. Add one half of a cup to bath water for a relaxing bathing experience.
FRENCH GREEN CLAY - French Green Clay is mined from bedrock quarries in France and commonly used for skin cleansing. The clay is a natural substance that stems from volcanic activity.
POWERFUL CLEANSING - French Green Clay is often used as the basis for skin cleansers and herbal bodypacks. This clay powder is unscented and fragrance-free. It absorbs dirt, oil, and bacteria while gently cleansing the pores.
FRAGRANCE-FREE - Frontier Co-op French Green Clay is unscented and 100% fragrance-free.
SOURCED FROM FRANCE - Our French Green Clay is naturally green in color and comes from mines located in France. The clay is set out to dry in the sun and then finely pulverized or hydraulically crushed, followed by another drying process to form a powder.
