French Yellow Clay is a gentle and revitalizing clay, excellent for normal, sensitive, and combination skin. It is milder than green or red clay but more absorbent than white clay. It is known for its ability to draw out impurities and gently exfoliate while stimulating circulation. This helps to tone the skin and leave the complexion feeling refreshed and looking bright and healthy.
● For a Brightening Face Mask: Mix Yellow Clay with water or a hydrosol like witch hazel to create a revitalizing mask. It helps to bring a healthy glow to dull or tired-looking skin.
● In Bath Bombs and Soaps: Use as a natural colorant to impart a beautiful, gentle yellow hue to your bath and body creations.
We source our authentic French Yellow Clay from its natural quarries in France.
The clay is naturally sun-dried and crushed into a super-fine powder, perfect for gentle skin treatments.
