French green clay
is valued for cosmetic use because of its exceptional absorbent properties and its ability to draw out impurities from the skin. The detoxifying quality of this material is best illustrated by its use in 1986 by the former Soviet Union, who used a massive quantity of
French green clay
to cover the failed nuclear reactor site at Chernobyl. The clay was also added to chocolate bars, which were distributed to the residents of the ill-fated city.
Green clay
, also referred to as
green illite
and
Montmorillonite clay
, is a naturally occurring material that is mined several thousand feet below the earth’s crust. Also known as
French green clay
because of the abundant deposits located in France, this
cosmetic clay
gets its greenish hue from the presence of blue-green algae and chlorophyll left by decomposed plant life.
It is used in cosmetics to lighten skin and to absorb excess oil.
Use as a weekly facial mask and on-the-spot treatment for trouble spots. Can also be used as a poultice for insect bites and rashes.
Used as a dietary supplement in Europe.
