Argiletz Superfine French Green Clay Powder, 100g | Ultra Ventilated

Our French Green Clay is distinguished by its unique mineral composition from French sedimentation, including Iron and Silica, and a neutral pH of 7, which is often gentler than more alkaline clays like Bentonite. Its superfine texture creates a smooth paste and it's valued for effective oil absorption and promoting circulation. This specific origin and balance make it a versatile choice for many skin types.

Start with a ratio of 1 part clay to 1.5-2 parts purified water or floral water, mixing gradually to achieve a smooth, spreadable paste without lumps. The ideal consistency is personal—thick enough to stay put but not runny. You can always adjust by adding more liquid or powder to get your preferred thickness.

While our clay has a neutral pH of 7, all skin can react differently, so a patch test is always recommended. For dry or sensitive skin, try a shorter application time (rinsing before it fully dries) and mix with a soothing floral water like rose or chamomile. This helps customize the experience to be more gentle for your skin's needs.

For normal to oily skin, we recommend using the mask 1-2 times per week. If you have dry or sensitive skin, start with once every 1-2 weeks to see how your skin responds. Overuse can strip the skin, so it's important to listen to your skin's needs and adjust frequency accordingly.

This instruction applies when adding the clay powder to homemade cosmetic formulations, like a mask base. You should blend it into the base product *after* it has cooled from any heating process to preserve the clay's natural properties. Do not mix it into hot or warm products, as heat can affect its efficacy.

Yes, due to its natural iron content, this clay can stain fabrics and surfaces. We advise using dark or old towels and rinsing your sink thoroughly immediately after use. Please be careful around clothing, as stains on porous materials may be permanent.

Yes, according to the ingredients list, this product is 100% Superfine French Green Clay. The minerals listed—such as Iron, Silica, and Aluminium—are natural components of the clay sediment itself, not separate additives or ingredients.

A 100g jar is quite long-lasting; if used for a full face mask (about 1-2 teaspoons per use) once a week, it could provide 15-20 applications. It will last even longer if used for spot treatments or smaller areas, making it an economical choice compared to pre-mixed masks.
