French Green Clay is the most used of the clays in Spas and Salons. Noted as the clay which possesses the most absorbent action on the skin, it is used mainly for facial masks for oily, neglected skin in the treatment of Acne. It is a little too drawing for dry or mature skin. French Green Clay cleanses, exfoliates, smoothes and softens the skin.
It may be added to soap as a natural colorant and produces a gentle, earthy pastel green colour when used in soaps. Suitable for facial masques, scrubs, etc.
To use in Soap:
Cold Processed Soap: Suggested usage rate is 1 dessertspoon to 1 tablespoon per kilo of soap (swirling will use less). Mix into a slurry with either water or thinly traced soap before adding to soap prior to Fragrance or Essential Oils.
Melt & Pour Soap: 1 teaspoon per 500g of Soap. Mix the clay to a slurry or paste with some water or glycerine and gently stir into the melted MP Soap.
