🔬 How It Actually Works

A highly absorbent bio-mineral clay naturally green in color due to decomposed plant matter and iron oxides. It "drinks" oils and impurities while stimulating blood flow to the skin.

💖 Why Your Skin Loves It

Draws out deep impurities, revitalizes dull skin, and controls oily shine.

💡 Pro Tip

An excellent middle-ground clay—stronger than Kaolin, gentler than Bentonite.
