INCI: Montmorillonite

Bentonite Healing Clay is a fine mineral clay formed from volcanic ash and used mainly in rinse-off masks, body applications, and bath rituals. When mixed with water, it forms a smooth paste with a strong oil-absorbing, deep-cleansing feel. It is also used in DIY cosmetics as a natural colourant and texture-enhancing mineral. This is a powder ingredient for wash-off and formulation use, not a leave-on skincare product.

♡ Why we love it: We choose to stock Bentonite Healing Clay because it is one of those dependable mineral staples that earns its place in many DIY cupboards. It works across face masks, body applications, and formulation projects, and it brings a clear, practical purpose without unnecessary complexity.

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

This product is certified: Vegan, Food Safe, and Beauty Without Cruelty.

Q: Can the mask be rinsed off before it fully dries?
A: Yes. Many routines prefer rinsing before the clay dries completely to reduce excessive tightness.

Q: Why does Bentonite Healing Clay feel strong on the skin?
A: It swells quickly in water and has a pronounced oil-absorbing feel, which is part of why it is often used in rinse-off masks.

Bought 5kg more than 6 times already… love this

Bought 5kg more than 6 times already… love this product. 5kg is too small. Please think about introducing 10kg or make 20kg more available. Also please consider using sacks instead of buckets! Love this product 🥰

So versatile!

I have been formulating with bentonite clay for 12 years, and this one is the best quality by far. But its use does not stop with my skincare. I also use it in my tooth powder, I use it to wash my dishes and fruit & veg. And I add it to every load of washing with my DIY all-natural powder. It's so versatile!

Best face mask clay!

Bought this to use as a homemade face mask as I have oily skin. So far I’ve only used it 4 times and I’ve seen positive results. I mix a teaspoon with water and a little apple cider vinegar and leave it on until it dries. Leaves a little redness but that subsides after washing it off. A HUGE benefit is that blackheads, whiteheads and clogged pores are soo easy to extract after the mask!! It’s like magic!

Great

I so love the feel it gives to skin. It creates a smooth, creamy and thick consistency face mask. Add some carrier oil and it really takes a long time to dry so it doesn't feel tight or dry out skin. About 1.5g powder to 10g liquid makes for a great mask as bentonite is really absorbent.

Only mask I use

I use the clay as a mask. I add apple cider vinegar and water, equal parts. Mix and apply on a cleansed face. It draws out impurities and lightens hyperpigmentation. This is a "need to" try.

Benonite healing clay

From the first day of using the clay on my face as a mask, my skin appeared lighter and firmer. It gives a slight pulling effect when it dries which I liked because it showed me its skin tightening mode of action. Absolutely love and would recommend.

Wow!!

I've been using the Bentonite Clay as a face mask twice a week (for a month now) and I'm really amazed with how well it's been working for my skin. I have acne prone skin/sensitive skin.. And its cleared out most of my spots and I also feel as if my marks are fading as well! I'm so happy and more confident about my skin now

Love this bentonite clay as a mask for my face. I've only used it once and my skin loves it already and my acne has dried. I'll be making more masks for my friend who also have acne prone skin like me.
