Essentially Natural Bentonite Clay is a fine mineral clay formed from volcanic ash and valued for its deep-cleansing, oil-absorbing feel. When mixed with water, it creates a smooth paste that’s commonly used in face masks, body masks and bath rituals. Bentonite is also popular in DIY cosmetics as a natural colourant and texture enhancer. It’s a powerful, hardworking clay best used with a gentle approach and good hydration afterwards.

EN staff tip: combine clay with a spoon of honey for a brightening, healing and moisturising facial mask.
