- What it is
- A soft white mineral clay, milled fine. Mild as clays go, which is why it turns up in masks meant for faces rather than feet.
- Why it's in the formula
- It absorbs oil sitting on the surface of your skin and then leaves with the rinse water. That is the mechanism, start to finish.
- Where it comes from
- Cosmetic-grade mineral clay.
- What to know
- Well tolerated. Do not let a clay mask dry to cracking; ten minutes is plenty.
