Green clay can be used both on its own and as an ingredient in various cosmetic products. It is especially recommended for those with problematic and acne-prone skin.
Characteristics and composition
Green clay has a distinctive green color and earthy scent, resulting from its natural mineral composition. It is a natural silicate of aluminum, iron, and magnesium, making it rich in many minerals, such as silica (SiO2), which constitutes over 60% of its composition. It also contains significant amounts of aluminum oxides (Al2O3) and iron oxides (Fe2O3), known for their absorbent and cleansing properties.
Properties and applications
Green clay is valued for its antibacterial properties , which make it effective in reducing sebum production and soothing inflammation. It helps skin lesions heal faster and can contribute to the elimination of acne. It has the ability to absorb impurities and toxins from the skin’s surface, which is why it is used as an ingredient in masks and exfoliators, especially for oily and combination skin.
Green clay is also recommended for use alone as a mask, which helps cleanse pores and refresh the complexion, leaving skin clean and matte. Thanks to its regenerative and nourishing properties, it is also used in body care products, where it supports skin cell regeneration and protection against harmful external factors.
