French Green Clay

French Green Clay, also known as Illite Clay or Sea Clay, is a powerhouse ingredient in soap making, prized for its deep-cleansing, oil-absorbing, and skin-rejuvenating properties. Rich in minerals like magnesium, calcium, and potassium, this naturally green-hued clay is perfect for creating luxurious, spa-like soaps that deeply cleanse, tone, and refresh the skin.
