Velay Green Clay
A raw, purifying mineral treatment
Our Velay green clay, extracted from volcanic and sedimentary terrain, is offered in its raw state - 100% natural and untreated. Naturally dried and ultra-ventilated, its powdery texture makes it easy to handle. Its composition, rich in illite, kaolin, and montmorillonite, gives it absorbent power and remineralizing properties . Traditionally used by local herbalists, it effectively purifies oily skin, frees clogged pores and normalizes sebum production without attacking the epidermis.
100% natural product, made in Auvergne.
Our amber glass bottles, inspired by pharmaceutical tradition, protect the product while respecting the environment through their reusable and recyclable nature.
Velay Green Clay
Green clay is a living, complex material, rich in minerals and trace elements. Its composition combines three natural clays — illite , kaolin And montmorillonite — which act in synergy.
-
Illite , highly absorbent, captures excess sebum and impurities deep down.
-
Kaolin , softer, soothes and respects sensitive skin.
-
Montmorillonite , known for its detoxifying power, helps regenerate the epidermis.
This mineral trio offers a perfect balance between purification, soothing and remineralization , for clear, fresh and visibly rebalanced skin.
Without preservatives or additives, our clay is raw, pure, un-ionized and untransformed , retaining all the active force of the earth that shaped it.
Take 1 to 2 teaspoons of clay and mix with a floral water (such as our verbena, sage, or mint hydrosol) until you obtain a smooth, creamy paste. Apply a thick layer to a clean face, avoiding the eye area. Leave on for 5 to 8 minutes – never let it dry completely. Rinse with warm water, pat dry, then apply a hydrosol or our borage oil serum.
