FEATURES AND BENEFITS 

A Soft Detox: Naturally rich in minerals and trace elements, French Clay – Caramel helps draw out impurities, tighten pores, and leave skin feeling firm, toned, and refreshed with a touch of spa indulgence.  

Warm Caramel Tone: With a golden hue and balanced mineral profile, this clay offers the ideal harmony of absorption and softness, lending skin care and cosmetic formulations a touch of French refinement. 

Pure Origins: Composed mainly of Illite, Kaolin, and Montmorillonite, French Clay – Caramel is carefully extracted and refined without chemicals. Its mineral composition gently purifies while conditioning the skin for a healthy, radiant glow. 

Silky Smooth Texture: This fine powder disperses easily into formulations, enriching texture and giving masks, scrubs, and cleansers a luxurious, velvety feel. It also helps preserve the fresh aroma of essential-oil blends. 

Spa Day, the French Way: Perfect for clay masks, mud masks, scrubs, body wraps, soaps, and mineral- or cream-based cleansers. The caramel hue adds an elegant warmth to spa formulas. 


DESCRIPTION 

A French spa classic, reimagined. French Clay – Caramel purifies, softens, and restores balance for beautifully renewed skin. Harvested from the earth and refined through an innovative, chemical-free process, this 100% natural clay is crushed, oven-dried, and carefully sorted to preserve its purity, fine texture, and mineral vitality. 

Composed of Illite, Kaolin, and Montmorillonite, it works as a gentle yet effective cleansing and revitalizing agent. Naturally enriched with trace minerals, French Clay – Caramel helps draw out impurities, tighten pores, and tone the skin for a smooth, refreshed complexion. 

When applied as a mask or body wrap, it firms as it dries, leaving skin soft, balanced, and rejuvenated. With a golden tone and velvety slip, Caramel brings opulence to spa treatments, mud masks, scrubs, soaps, and other skin care formulations. Suitable for all skin types. 


DIRECTIONS & SUGGESTED USAGE

  • The French Facial: Mix equal parts French Clay – Caramel and water to form a smooth paste. For added benefit, substitute water with Floral Water or Aloe Vera Juice for extra toning and hydration. Apply evenly to clean skin, avoiding the eye area. Leave on for 10 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with warm water. 
  • Mix, Match, and Glow: Use French Clay – Caramel as a base for custom skin care creations. Blend with essential oils, carrier oils, or botanical extracts to design personalized clay masks, mineral cleansers, or spa treatments. Adjust the texture to preference and test for stability before retail or repeated use. 

  • Head-to-Toe Renewal: Combine French Clay – Caramel with warm water or hydrosol to achieve a creamy consistency. Apply to the body as a wrap or mix with fine salts and carrier oils to create a gentle, mineral-rich body scrub that leaves skin smooth and revitalized.
  • Formulation Notes: Use French Clay – Caramel at 5–100% in skin care products, or 1 tablespoon (15 mL) per lb (500 g) of soap. Incorporate into face products, masks, scrubs, cleansers, or cosmetics for natural mineral enhancement and improved texture.
