Make a recipe from A to Z
Superfine pink clay can be used as an ingredient in your recipes.
Incorporate pink clay as an active ingredient in your formulas containing water: creams, lotions, gels, lotions, soaps, etc.
Step 1
Add the pink clay, ideally pre-dispersed in a little cold water, at the end of the formula.
Step 2
Shake to mix well.
Aroma-zone Tip
For better dispersion of the clay in your emulsions or gels, pre-disperse it in a little water before adding it.
To make a mask, a wrap, or a poultice
Pink clay can be used in a blend with other clays or plant powders to make masks, poultices or body wraps.
Step 1
Pour the pink clay with the other powders (other clays, plants, etc.) into a suitable container.
Step 2
Add water or hydrosol and mix to obtain a smooth, creamy paste.
Immediately apply the mixture in a thick layer to the skin (face, neck, body) or hair.
Leave on until the mask begins to dry. It is recommended to not let the mixture dry completely.
Rinse thoroughly with water to remove the mask
Aroma-zone Tip
Clay pastes do not keep well and should be used as soon as possible after making them (maximum 48 hours in the fridge).
If you wish to incorporate essential oils into a clay paste, we recommend adding a small proportion of oil or Solubol to dissolve them.
For best results, do not heat the clay and avoid contact with oxidisable metal.
You can use stainless steel or plastic equipment.
For mixing, use a plastic stirring rod.
Use it in a make-up product containing mineral powders
To make a loose or compacted powder:
Step 1
Mix the pink clay with the mineral powders and pigments, ideally by grinding in a mortar or coffee grinder to disperse the pigments evenly.
To make a cream foundation:
Step 1
Mix the pink clay with the mineral powders and pigments, ideally by grinding in a mortar or coffee grinder to disperse the pigments evenly.
Step 2
Add this powdery mixture to your melted oil phase.
Quality
100% natural origin, unwashed to retain all its mineral content, non-irradiated.
Production process
Extraction from natural red and white clay quarries, crushing and fine grinding.
The grains of powder are sorted using an innovative vacuum selection process to ensure that the powder is as fine as possible. The red and white clays are then mixed to obtain the pinkish tone. The clay is dried in a kiln at over 350°C for 20 minutes.
This process produces a clay with a very low microbiological load. No chemical treatment is used.
Function
Cosmetic ingredient for formulating masks, poultices, powders and soaps…

Pink clay is a blend of red illite clay and white montmorillonite. These clays are natural minerals from the phylosillicate family, (like talc and micas). It is composed of hydrated aluminium silicate and iron oxide. Its lamellar (layered) structure gives it good absorbency and coverage.
<> A closer look at absorption and adsorption: Clays have the property of absorbing liquids such as water, filling up a bit like a sponge.
Clays also have the ability to adsorb, i.e. to bind molecules to their surface. This ability to bind molecules comes from the fact that clays are negatively charged. The negative charge is explained by the presence of minerals**(the higher the concentration of mineral salts in the clay, the more negatively charged it will be**). When clay is in solution, it will attract the opposite positive ions in the solution and exchange them once in contact with the skin. Clay will therefore help to remineralise and detoxify the skin, by exchanging its mineral salts with the toxins and impurities in the skin. This phenomenon allows the clay to carry active ingredients and return them to the skin.
Pink clay can be used as an ingredient in your blends. It is suitable for all skin types, even the most sensitive of skins. It has a toning and cleansing effect thanks to its high mineral content.
