Clays come from sedimentary rocks and are very rich in minerals. In cosmetics, they can help remove dead skin and scalp cells, thanks to their absorbent, cleansing, purifying, and revitalizing properties. They also have anti-inflammatory and healing properties. The most commonly used clays are white, green, and pink. Each has different benefits, so it's important to consider your skin type before using one. In a cosmetic product, clays are often combined with other ingredients with complementary actions to provide a calming, moisturizing, etc. effect.
Specifically, white clay has a high aluminum and magnesium content. On the skin, it has a gentle exfoliating, soothing, and softening effect, making it generally suitable for all skin types, including dry and slightly sensitive skin.
In the case of green clay, it contains magnesium and iron oxides, which give it its greenish color. Its astringent action helps to deeply cleanse and remove impurities. It is particularly recommended for combination and oily skin.
Pink clay, on the other hand, is a blend of white and red clay, based on iron and copper oxides. Its properties include helping to regenerate the skin, purifying sensitive skin, and, depending on the product's other ingredients, also suitable for reactive skin.
Clays can be found in a wide variety of products such as face, body and hair masks, makeup, and cosmetics.
