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: What does BP grade mean?
A: It indicates the raw material meets a recognised pharmacopoeial quality standard for purity.

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.
