This Bentonite clay powder is a finely milled, 325-mesh powder sourced from natural mineral deposits. Offered in a 5-pound (80-ounce) bulk container, it is classified as cosmetic grade and contains no synthetic additives, fragrances, or preservatives. The clay is composed primarily of montmorillonite, a mineral known for its high surface area and negative ionic charge, which enables it to absorb excess oils, impurities, and toxins from the skin when used in masks or cleansers.

Ideal for a variety of DIY beauty and personal care applications, this clay can be mixed with water, vinegar, or hydrosols to create facial masks suitable for normal to oily skin types. It also works effectively as a gentle clarifying treatment when combined with oatmeal or yogurt for dry or sensitive skin. Beyond facial care, the powder integrates seamlessly into soap making recipes, where it contributes a smooth texture and natural color. In creams and lotions, it helps control oiliness and can act as a mild binding agent. For bath products, it adds opacity and a silky feel to bath bombs and bath salts.

The 325-mesh particle size ensures a very fine, silky consistency that dissolves easily in liquids without clumping, allowing for smooth application in masks and lotions. The 5-pound quantity provides ample supply for frequent use or small-scale production, offering practical value for home crafters and skincare enthusiasts. Because the clay is free from synthetic binders and fillers, it maintains its natural absorbency and clumping properties when hydrated. Users should note that bentonite clay should not be mixed with metal utensils, as its electrical charge can interact with metal surfaces. A glass, ceramic, or wooden mixing tool is recommended. This product is intended for external use only and should be kept in a dry, sealed container to preserve its effectiveness.
