The French Green Clay is brown in color with a slight green undertone. It comes from the sedimentation of silico-aluminum and its coloring is the result of the oxides contained in those rocks. It has a neutral pH of 7. Its unique composition includes iron, silica, aluminum, magnesium, calcium, titanium, sodium and potassium. It also contains manganese, phosphorous, zinc, copper, selenium, cobalt, microscopic green algae, brown algae and phyto-nutrients.

It is especially appropriate for combination or oily skin care but also works well on other skin types. It absorbs excess sebum found in the skin, removes impurities and toxins, revitalizes the skin and encourages natural cell formation. It has antiseptic effects and softens the skin. Due to it being rich in phyto-nutrients, it provides the skin with a lot of minerals and trace elements.

Directions for use: Mix clay with warm, clean water or hydrosol (floral water) and apply evenly to cleansed skin, (can also be used on the body) avoiding the area around the eyes. You can add a tablespoon of a carrier oil and a drop or two of your favorite essential oil into the mixture. Leave on the for 10 minutes (if you haven't added carrier oil, the mixture will dry), then rinse with water and moisten the skin with your toner or hydrosol and apply a moisturizer or natural oil.
