Superfine Montmorillonite Bentonite Beige Clay
Montmorillonite clays are Bentonite clays and bentonite clays are Montmorillonite clays. They are not two separate minerals as we think. They are one and the same thing. All types of bentonite clays are grouped together under the Montmorillonite or Smectite group of clays. To speak of one is to speak of the other.
Marketing of various brand names using the different terminology for the same thing, in the same text, is often responsible for the confusion that arises.
Montmorillonite was named after its discovery locality, Montmorillon, France in the 1800's. Bentonite was named after Fort Benton, Montana, near which it was discovered.
bentonite pure
Historically used to maintain healthy skin tone and texture due to its high content of trace minerals. Clays are a popular feature at many health spas today, and are widely used as a natural means to promote healthy, youthful-looking skin.
Our Calcium Bentonite is a mineral rich clay, formed from aged volcanic ash. One of the greatest properties of clay is its remarkable absorption / adsorption power. It has a unique way to attract impurities and toxins out the body. Simply put,clay has an electro negative charge, whilst impurities and toxins are electro positive. Our Bentonite is one of the purest natural skin detoxifier. It will gently exfoliate and penetrate deep into the skin to cleanse it of impurities.
Apply as a face mask, hair rinse, poultice , detox foot and bath soak.
Naturrally extracted and Sundried From the Aquitaine in France.
Moroccan Rhassoul
The word Rhassoul is derived from the Arabic word Rhassala which means washing.
Moroccan women have used it as natural body care for over 1400 years.
Research confirms the remarkable properties of this mineral rich clay, it reduces
dryness, removes impurities, unblocks pores, improves skin clarity and elasticity resulting in a general smoothing of the skin.
Moroccan Rhassoul Clay can be used as a daily cleanser instead of soap and as a restorative hair treatment. It is a superb natural shampoo.
Zeolite Pure Clinoptilolite

Types of Clay
Montmorillonite Clay
Montmorillonite, a phyllosilicate, is a soft type of mineral that exists in small crystals which accumulate to form clay. Phyllosilicates or sheet silicates, are a group of minerals that include the micas, chlorite, serpentine, talc, and the clay minerals. The clay is named after Montmorillon (France) where it was first discovered.
There exist two types of montmorillonite, sodium and calcium. Sodium montmorillonite is commonly known as sodium bentonite. The presence of sodium as the predominant exchangeable cation can result in the clay swelling to many times its original volume. Almost all natural clays have value in promoting human health. Some may be consumed, others are best used only externally, and some are best reserved for industrial purposes.
Clays in general, provide a wide array of benefits for humanity, whether for the body, in the garden, or for industrial use
Each of the edible clays will possess different mineral profiles and electromagnetic properties, and will therefore affect the body somewhat differently. NASA discovered that clay countered the loss of calcium in the bones (common during space flight) better than calcium supplements due to the additional minerals and other properties natural to a clay that improved calcium assimilation.

Adsorption and Absorption
The two words are similar but their differences are fundamental to understanding how clay minerals function and how healing clay works. Adsorption describes the process by which the charged particles of other substances combine with the charged particles on the outer surface of the clay molecule. First imagine the structure of the clay molecule to be similar to a stack of business cards with spaces in between the cards. The clay molecule has unsatisfied ionic bonds around its edges and naturally seeks to satisfy those bonds. For this to happen it must come into contact with a molecule of another substance with unsatisfied bonds that carry an opposite electrical (ionic) charge. When the two molecules meet, the ions held on the outer surface of the clay molecule are exchanged with the ions held on the outside surface of the molecule of the other substance.
Absorption is a slower and more complex process. Acting like a sponge, the clay molecule draws other substances into its internal structure. Absorption can only occur when the foreign substance has undergone a chemical change and is then allowed to enter the clay’s molecular inner structure. Once the foreign substance has undergone the chemical change, it enters into the spaces between the clay’s inner structures. So the toxins that were formerly only sticking to the surface of the clay’s outer structure through ionic bonding, are now pulled inside the clay molecule. This is the primary reason why absorptive clays are labeled as mobile layered or expandable clays. The more substances that are pulled into the clay’s inner structure, the more the clay expands and its layers swell.

What’s the difference between Bentonite and Montmorillonite?
Bentonite is typically regarded as an impure ore of clays that contain both the crystalline structure montmorillonite and additional crystalline structures. The degree of bentonite’s purity is equal to its degree of montmorillonite.
In today’s world, finding a sizable source of minerals of 100% purity is rare. It is also rare that the providers of bentonite would separate the montmorillonite from the source’s composition, which is why it is distinctly considered bentonite, as opposed to pure montmorillonite. Essentially, bentonite and montmorillonite are the same thing, with those specified as 100% montmorillonite are the purest on the earth.
