Create Customized Treatments Using Cosmetic Clays

FromNatureWithLove.com offers a large selection of Cosmetic Clays, each with its own unique properties and characteristics. Gentle Kaolin Clays come in a wide range of beautiful colors and are especially versatile due to their fine texture and mild absorption. Mineral rich French Green and Dead Sea Clays are renowned for their exceptional detoxifying properties. You can combine any of these clays with fresh ingredients like pureed fruit, yogurt, honey or Dead Sea Water for a unique home spa experience that you will not soon forget. Clays can also be mixed with a multitude of other natural products, including: Carrier Oils, Milk Powders, Herbs, CO2 extracts, Essential oils or Hydrosols. The addition of these ingredients offers you a unique opportunity to create products and treatments that are customized to an individual skin type. For example, combining a clay with strong drawing properties with a moisturizing wetting agent, like Jojoba or plain yogurt, will leave skin purified without becoming  overly dry and irritated. Adding a blend of antibacterial essential oils and moisturizing carrier oils to gentle clay can be a wonderful treat for tricky combination skin. Every person's skin is different. Clays allow you to create every facial, body mask or hair treatment with that fact in mind.

Do you have a customized skincare recipe that uses Cosmetic Clays? If so, we would love to hear from you.

I LOVE your description/explanations of the clays. I use a number of clays including bentontite in my shaving soap. Thanks for information.

If you have any photos of what the various clays look like in soap, I'd love to see them! I just recently experimented a bit with using them in soap and loved the colors. I tried French Green Clay, Rose Clay, and Red Clay.

Thank you for mentioning shaving soap, Margaret. That is another fabulous use for Bentonite, and our other clays. It lends such a pleasant texture and lather to soap.

Hi Rurality. While we don't have any pictures like that on hand, it is a pretty cool idea. That just might make an interesting wintertime project over here at FromNatureWithLove.com. In the meantime, you might be able to do a little recon by googling every clay followed by the word "soap". It maybe take a while, but there must be pictures out there somewhere!

By the way, you have a great blog! I especially loved the Game Cam photos. What a cool idea.

I wanted to tell you how much I appreciate your very informative info on all of the different clays. I'm basically a "newbie" at the creating of natural products, although I enjoy it, it's much more difficult then I had thought it would be. I've just purchased the clay sampler & look forward to trying out all of the recipes as well as the helpful hints that you all provide. Creating is such fun as well as the sense of satisfaction I get when I know that I've made beauty products that are free from any pollutants that are not helpful to the aiding towards beautiful skin!! Thanx...

Hi there,
I've used clays in soaps and it really imparts a very creamy color without being overpowering. The rose comes out a lighter pink, especially in the Goats Milk and other opaque soaps. The green also comes out creamy. In clear based soaps, like a clear olive base, it still permeates the entire soap, with enough mixing, it suspends in it. I've used both with a clear soap and walnut shells (fine) for exfoliation. They have a stronger color but still muted.
Hope this helps!
Kris

I just received my first order from you guys and used a bunch of it today - it's all AMAZING! A friend recommended you, and I'm so happy. Of course, this clay post makes me want to buy that now too...I guess I'll add that to my list for next time. Thanks for offering up such great stuff!
