Bentonite Clay is a practical “reset” treatment for skin and scalp when they feel oily, congested or weighed down by product buildup. Mara Organics Bentonite Clay is a pure, finely milled montmorillonite clay with no added fragrance, preservatives or fillers. When mixed with water or another suitable liquid, it forms a smooth paste that helps absorb excess surface oil and lift away buildup from the skin, scalp and hair. It works best as an occasional treatment rather than an everyday product: keep contact time moderate, rinse thoroughly and follow with hydration. Although bentonite is sometimes promoted online for internal “detox” use, ingestion requires greater caution because naturally sourced clays can vary in purity and heavy-metal content. For everyday use, topical applications such as face masks, scalp treatments and mineral baths are the simplest approach.

Ingredients
  • 100% Bentonite Clay (Montmorillonite) Powder.
Hair Care
  • Product Buildup: Helps lift accumulated styling products, heavy butters, gels and excess oils from the hair and scalp.
  • Scalp Cleansing: Helps absorb excess sebum and leave the scalp feeling cleaner and refreshed.
  • Lighter-Feeling Hair: Hair may feel less weighed down after removing excess surface buildup.
  • Curl Definition: Curls and coils may appear more defined after cleansing when followed with adequate conditioning and hydration.
  • Occasional Clarifying Care: Best used periodically rather than as an everyday hair treatment to avoid excessive dryness.
Skin Care
  • Oil Absorption: Helps absorb excess surface oil, making it especially useful for oily areas of the face and body.
  • Deep-Clean Feel: Helps lift surface impurities and everyday buildup for a cleaner, fresher feel.
  • Congested-Looking Skin: Can be used occasionally when skin feels oily, heavy or congested.
  • Smoother Feel: Leaves skin feeling refreshed and smoother after rinsing.
  • Occasional Treatment: Works best as a short-contact mask followed by moisturiser to restore hydration.
Health and Wellness
  • Mineral Bath: Can be added to warm bath water as part of an occasional body-care and relaxation routine.
  • External Wellness Use: Topical use is the simplest and lowest-risk way to incorporate bentonite clay into a self-care routine.
  • Internal Use: Bentonite is sometimes added to water or smoothies in wellness practices, but internal use is not recommended without professional guidance.
  • Purity Matters: Naturally sourced clays can vary in mineral and heavy-metal content, so products intended for ingestion require appropriate purity and contaminant testing.
  • No “Detox” Guarantee: Bentonite should not be relied upon to remove toxins from the body or to treat medical conditions.
How to Use
  • Hair & Scalp Mask: Mix the clay with warm water until you achieve a smooth, spreadable paste.
  • Hair Application: Apply to damp hair and scalp, leave on for approximately 15–20 minutes and rinse thoroughly before following with conditioner or another moisturising treatment.
  • Face Mask: Mix approximately 1 teaspoon of clay with enough water to form a smooth paste.
  • Face Application: Apply a thin, even layer while avoiding the eye area. Leave on for approximately 10–15 minutes, then rinse thoroughly.
  • For Sensitive or Dry Skin: Use a shorter contact time and rinse before the mask becomes excessively dry, tight or uncomfortable.
  • After Masking: Follow with a hydrating serum, moisturiser or suitable facial oil.
  • Mineral Bath: Add approximately ¼ cup of clay to warm bath water, disperse well and soak for 15–20 minutes before rinsing the skin.
  • Frequency: Start with approximately once weekly and adjust according to your skin, scalp and hair tolerance.
Storage & Safety
  • External use is the lowest-risk and most common approach.
  • Avoid inhaling the fine clay powder when scooping or mixing.
  • Avoid direct contact with the eyes.
  • Do not apply to broken, severely irritated or damaged skin.
  • Patch test before full use, particularly if you have sensitive or very dry skin.
  • Overuse may leave the skin, scalp or hair feeling dry; begin with occasional use.
  • Discontinue use if persistent irritation occurs.
  • Do not ingest casually or use as an internal “detox” product.
  • If considering internal use, consult a qualified healthcare professional and use only bentonite specifically tested and intended for ingestion.
  • Keep the dry powder tightly sealed and protect it from moisture.
  • Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  • Keep out of reach of children.
