Pink clay for face mask is actually a mixture of red clay and white clay, kaolin. It contains silicon, aluminium, iron, magnesium, sodium, phosphorus, potash and lime. Scientific studies in recent times have demonstrated a number of beneficial effects of clay. The clay activates the body's own resources and restores its natural balance. Clay has the ability to absorb toxins, while at the same time supplying the body with necessary minerals, e.g. manganese, selenium, and iron. THE SOAP WORKSHOP'S clay is dug up from underground pits, dried in the sun and ground into a very fine powder. Thorough laboratory control of the composition and purity of the clay is carried out. Clay has been known and used for the care of health and well-being since early times and in several places on earth.
3000 years ago it was used against inflammatory conditions, for wound healing and embalming. The ancient Romans used the clay for broken bones, and mud baths were also a widespread tradition. In recent times, the great pioneers of clay in France have been the married couple Gallon and Dr. Jean Heitz, who in 1953 founded the company Argiletz. In the 50s, they took to health food magazines and once again spread the message about clay's fantastic properties. Today, the clay is thus still sold in health food magazines and in French pharmacies, both in its pure form for poultices and internal use, and in processed products, shampoo, toothpaste, face masks, etc.
