Red Clay (Illite):

Mineral composition: Silicium (63%), Potassium, Iron, Phosphorus (trace), Magnesium (trace), Calcium (trace)
Skin type: From normal to dry, sensitive and fragile skin, hair and scalp.
Actions: Naturally very rich in silicium and other essential trace elements, this clay has a high regenerative action. It will restore and rebalance any skins that are subjected to daily stress and pollution, giving it a natural peachy glow. Your skin will soon recover its natural radiance. This clay is highly recommended for colored skins (from light to dark) for beauty applications.
- Blood circulation: It stimulates blood circulation in general: Detoxify the blood for toxins and strengthen the blood vessels. Excellent for people with circulatory problems on the face and body. Beneficial for people feeling cold (hands & feet), with lack of energy. Commonly used in Middle-eastern hammans for its relaxing and exfoliating properties. (See our Alep Soap Hamman Tradition with 30% red clay)
Applications: Facials, hair & scalp masks, body packs, balneotherapy, clay mud bath. Usually not recommended for internal use although some people do use it.
Caution! This clay tends to leave some pigments on the surface of certain skin types after a facial or body mask. The redness that appears is NOT a skin reaction but a concentration of red pigments from the clay on the surface of the skin. We recommend that you do it the evening before going to bed, leaving time for the pigments to be absorbed by the skin during the night.
