Bentonite clay is great for Deep Pore Cleansing in very Oily, Blackhead-prone skin. We do not recommended Calcium Bentonite Clay to people with very sensitive skin. However, if they must use, then we advise them to conduct a Hypersensitivity Patch Test.
Calcium Bentonite Clay has predominantly Hydrated Calcium silicates. It works on the principle of Adsorption. Calcium Bentonite Clay and Fuller's Earth are almost the same but the only difference is that Calcium Bentonite Clay has Hydrated Calcium Silicates while Fullers Earth as Hydrated Aluminium Silicates. Calcium Bentonite is the most commonly-found clay.
It comes from volcanic ash. This clay swells when you mix it with water, making it expand. The expansion causes its molecules to get charged. This charge helps the clay to pull out toxins from the pores, and cling to the clay magnetically. This process is called Adsorption.
MB Herbals Bentonite Clay is without any preservatives. It is Levigated and Triple Sifted that makes it super-fine clay with maximum surface area to volume. It is advisable for people with sensitive skin to use either Fuller's Earth or French Pink Clay (Rose clay) or French Green Clay (Montmorillonite Clay) rather than Calcium Bentonite Clay.
