Bentonite clay – Eco Collective

Bentonite Clay, a combination of montmorillonite and volcanic ash, is a highly absorbent clay that has been aged in prehistoric seabeds which is how it absorbed all of its minerals. Bentonite clay is known for absorbing dirt and oil from the skin. It helps to purify and rejuvenate pores as well as help with acne, blemishes, burns and cuts. We recommend this clay for all skin types, but can be especially beneficial for those with oily skin.

Instructions

For best results use a wooden or plastic spoon mix 1 tsp of clay with 1 tsp of water, rosewater or your liquid of choice in a plastic, glass or ceramic bowl until it creates a paste, not too thick or too thin. Use a brush or clean fingers to evenly distribute onto your face. Leave on for 5-8 minutes not allowing the clay to fully dry on your face. It shouldn’t be hard or painful to move the muscles in your face. With a washcloth use cold or warm (not hot) water to remove the clay using a circular motion. Pat dry and follow with a toner and moisturizer.

Pregnant or lactating people, or those with known medical conditions should consult with a physician prior to using product.

How to store: Store in the provided resealable compostable bag, or in a glass jar with a plastic lid. Avoid touching any metal to the clay. Keep in a cool, dry place.

Bulk online

This item is a part of our Bulk Online selection! We created this option because we know not every person has access to a local bulk shop for these products, and we want to help you live a little gentler on the Earth no matter where you live. Each product is filled to order in our bulk section, and shipped right to your door with plastic-free packaging and carbon-neutral shipping!

We chose endlessly recylable aluminum bottles for liquids (with reusable specialty lids for dispensing products), and compostable bags for dry goods, due to the lightweight nature of each, to minimize shipping emissions. We ship a few thicker gel-consistency products in reusable glass mason jars – we encourage you to reuse these jars at home, and we even have a collection of mason jar accessories to transform your jar for another use!

If you’re local to Seattle, check out our zero waste bulk for store pickup option! Our retail store has a zero waste jar return program – so you can fill up any bulk product in our reusable mason jars – each jar has a $2 deposit so you can return clean, dry jars to us for a refund or credit, and we’ll sanitize and reuse them again and again!
