Bentonite clay powder is the heavyweight of cosmetic clays – a soft, greyish clay, also known as montmorillonite, that drinks up water and swells into a thick, velvety paste. HerbtoniQ Bentonite Clay is for anyone who wants a stronger oil-absorbing mask than multani mitti, for the face, the body or the scalp.

- Leaves the face feeling smooth, fresh and refined after rinsing.
- Helps clarify the scalp and hair of oil and product residue.
- Makes a thick, creamy paste that stays put while it works.
- Mixes well with rhassoul clay, Dead Sea mud, cocoa powder or activated charcoal.
What’s Inside
2 packs, 400 g in total:
- 2 × Bentonite Clay Powder (200 g) – a single-ingredient clay. Bentonite forms from volcanic ash and naturally contains minerals such as iron, sodium, calcium, potassium and magnesium.
How to Use
- Patch test the mixed clay on your inner arm 24 hours before first use.
- In a glass, ceramic or wooden bowl, sprinkle 1–2 teaspoons of clay over water or rose water and stir with a non-metal spoon until smooth.
- Apply a thin, even layer on a clean face and neck, away from the eyes and lips.
- Leave for 8–12 minutes and rinse with lukewarm water while the mask is still slightly damp; follow with a moisturiser.
- For hair, make a runnier paste with 2–3 tablespoons of clay, apply to scalp and lengths for 15–20 minutes and rinse very well.
Who Is It For
Most suitable for men and women with oily, combination or normal skin and for scalps that get greasy quickly. Dry or sensitive skin should use it less often, for a shorter time, and mixed with curd or aloe vera gel.

FAQs
How to mix bentonite clay for a face mask?
Add the clay to water or rose water in a non-metal bowl, about equal parts, and stir until smooth. Add more liquid for a thinner mask.
Why avoid metal with bentonite clay?
Bentonite is traditionally prepared without metal utensils. Using glass, ceramic or wood is the simple, recommended way.
How often should I use a bentonite clay mask?
Once a week suits most people; oily skin may use it twice. Always rinse before it dries fully.
For external use only. Do a patch test before first use.
