Micronised Yellow Clay

Description

Micronised and filtered French Clay.

This clay consists of very fine mineral particles and iron oxides that give it its characteristic colour. Its composition is notable for the absence of aluminium, making it a very gentle clay recommended for dry or sensitive skin.

Like other clays, it is a powerful detoxifier that draws impurities from the body while its minerals help revitalise the skin.
It stimulates blood circulation and the lymphatic system, removes dead skin cells, tones the skin and strengthens connective tissues.

Using this aluminium-free clay leaves skin softer, fresher and more radiant.

How this yellow clay is extracted

Our yellow clay is a natural mineral extracted mechanically, ground, microfiltered, classified by particle size through an air chamber, dried in a rotary kiln and finally packaged. It contains no added chemical additives or quartz thanks to its classification process.
