Essentially Natural Red Clay Powder is a fine cosmetic clay used in face masks, cleansers, soaps, and body care formulations. This French red clay is a 100% natural mineral powder with a warm earthy colour and a smooth texture that disperses well into both dry and wet blends. It is a raw ingredient rather than a ready-to-use mask, so it is best suited to custom mixing and formulation.

♡ Why we love it: It is one of those simple, versatile ingredients that quickly becomes a staple in natural formulating. The rich natural colour, easy handling, and formulation flexibility make it a practical choice for everything from fresh clay masks to more polished personal care products.

This product is certified: Vegan, COSMOS Approved, and 100% Natural.
