Blue Clay

Our Superfine French Blue Clay is rich in minerals and trace elements.

Blue clay tightens and purifies pores and improves circulation by stimulating blood flow.

Useful as a poultice or as a bath soak to help with arthritis, sore muscles, sprains, bruises, minor burns, insect bites and stress relief.

Can also be used as a natural colourant for skin care and soap.

Note: Colour is a Blue/ Green.

How to make a facial mask: Clay mixed with only purified water gives wonderful results. You can also enhance clay’s beneficial effects by adding 1 or 2 drops or essential oil, 4-5 drops of Wheatgerm, Jojoba or our Sweet Almond oil. Natural substances can also be added to the mix such as egg yolk or honey to the basic clay preparation.
