Clays

Clays are naturally occurring, fine-grained minerals formed from the weathering of rocks over time. They are rich in essential minerals like calcium, magnesium, iron, and potassium, making them beneficial for both skin and hair care. When hydrated, clays develop a negative electrical charge, allowing them to attract and absorb positively charged impurities, toxins, and excess oils. 

Why Are Clays Important?

Clays have been utilized for centuries across various cultures for their therapeutic properties. In modern skincare and hair care, they serve multiple purposes:

• Detoxification: Draw out impurities and toxins from the skin and scalp.
• Oil Absorption: Control excess sebum production, reducing shine and preventing clogged pores.
• Exfoliation: Gently slough off dead skin cells, promoting a smoother texture.
• Soothing: Calm inflammation and redness, beneficial for sensitive or acne-prone skin.
• Conditioning: Enhance hair softness, shine, and manageability.
