Green Clay Powder

Green clay is one of the most widely used gums and natural earth pigments in various industries thanks to its unique properties. Unlike brown clay, it is characterized by its distinctive green color, resulting from its distinct mineral composition.

Characteristics of green clay

Green clay owes its characteristic color to the presence of minerals such as iron oxide and copper oxide. It also contains other minerals such as montmorillonite, illite and kaolinite.

These minerals give it two outstanding characteristics:

Absorption

Due to its structure of tiny particles with a high negative charge, it attracts and absorbs impurities, toxins and bacteria in the skin. What’s more, its oil-absorbing capacity helps to balance sebum production and detoxify pores.

Soothing and toning effect

Green clay has a soothing and toning effect on the skin. It helps to reduce inflammation, soothe irritations and soften the epidermis.
