French Clay Green
Average Product Rating: 4.8 / 5 (Based on 15 Customer Reviews)
French Green Clay comes from the sedimentation of Silico-aluminum, its coloring the result of the oxides contained in these rocks. Its unique composition includes Iron, Silica, Aluminum, Magnesium, Calcium, Titanium, Sodium and Potassium. French Green Clay is prepared for the commercial market by a process of sun-drying and crushing. After the clay has been mined, it is spread in the sun to remove excess water. It is then ground by large hydraulic crushers and micronized, or finely pulverized. The last stage in the process is a final period of sun-drying to remove the last traces of water.
Appearance: Light green colored powder.
Benefits: French Green Clay absorbs and removes impurities from the skin, stimulating blood flow to create healthy and glowing skin. When prepared as a mask, the clay dries on the skin causing pores to tighten and the skin to feel firm, toned and refreshed. French Green Clay can be used in poultices to treat arthritis, sore muscles, and sprains; in ready-to-use pastes for application to cuts, bruises, insect bites, stings, and minor burns; and mineral baths for stress relief. It is suitable for all skin types.
Application: French Green Clay can be used in detoxifying body wraps, soap making, face masks, mineral based or cream based cleansers, face or body scrubs, cosmetics and facial powders.
Caution: Caution should be exercised as clays may stain fabric.
Simple Face Mask Recipe:
Combine 1 tbsp of clays to 2 tbsp of water to form a paste and apply to the skin. Leave for about 10 minutes and wash off with warm water. Floral water or aloe vera gel juice can be substituted for water.
Poultice Recipe:
Add 3 tbsp of clay to enough water to form a thick paste. Add a few drops of essential oils if desired and apply the paste in a layer about 1/4-in thick to a piece of gauze. The poultice is applied to the injured area with the gauze uppermost and held in place with adhesive tape. It can be left in place as long as two hours, but the clay should not be allowed to dry. Poultices should not be reused but discarded after use.

This is an important product to have on hand! We used it on our goat who had an abcess from a foxtail burrowed in her check, and it healed quickly. It worked well to heal little cuts and larger ones as well. We've also added it to our toothpaste and it makes beautiful green soaps.

French Green Clay is quite popular and I can see why! It leaves the skin clean and tingly but not in an irritated way and replenishes minerals, plus it has a lovely green hue! I am using it in my CP soap with beer for an awesome body cleanser and shampoo bar. Two birds with one stone!

I made a facial mask with this. It dries quickly and really absorbs oil. I would have likes more of an exfoliating feeling, but maybe if I play around with it some more I'll get that out of this clay.

I am a first time buyer of green clay from New Directions. I use it as cleanser (with honey and essential oils) and as facial mask. It is an excellent product - very fine and very cleansing/detoxifying. I can feel a dramitic difference after using it.
