HerbtoniQ bentonite clay powder is a soft grey clay, also called montmorillonite, that swells into a thick, creamy paste when wet. It is one of the most absorbent cosmetic clays, which makes it a go-to for oily-skin face masks and for clay washes that leave hair and scalp feeling thoroughly clean.
Key Benefits
- Helps cleanse skin and draw away dirt and excess oil.
- Leaves the face feeling deeply clean, smooth and matte.
- Helps cleanse the scalp and lift product build-up from hair.
- Leaves curls and waves feeling light and soft after a clay wash.
- Blends well with rhassoul, kaolin, charcoal or dead sea mud in DIY masks.
What’s Inside
3 packs of 200 g each, 600 g in total:
- 3 × Bentonite Clay Powder, 200 g – a natural mineral clay formed from volcanic ash, ground to a fine powder. It absorbs several times its weight in water, so a little powder makes a generous amount of mask.
How to Use
- Use a glass, ceramic or wooden bowl and spoon – traditionally bentonite is not mixed with metal utensils.
- Face mask: add water or rose water slowly to 1–2 teaspoons of clay, stirring until it is smooth and yoghurt-like.
- Apply a thin layer to a clean face, avoiding the eye and lip area, and rinse after 8–12 minutes, before it dries fully.
- Hair mask: mix 3–4 tablespoons with water or aloe vera gel and apply to a wet scalp and hair.
- Leave for 15–20 minutes without letting it dry, rinse very thoroughly and condition the lengths.
- Patch test 24 hours before first use. Follow face masks with a moisturiser.
Who Is It For
Ideal for men and women with oily or combination skin, and for oily scalps or curly hair that feels weighed down by products. Dry or sensitive skin should choose a shorter time or blend it half-and-half with kaolin.

FAQs
How do I mix bentonite clay without lumps?
Sprinkle the clay over the liquid rather than pouring liquid on the clay, let it soak for a minute, then stir with a wooden spoon.
Can I use bentonite clay on my hair?
Yes. Apply the paste to wet hair and scalp for 15–20 minutes, keep it damp, then rinse thoroughly and condition.
Why should I avoid metal with bentonite clay?
It is a long-standing traditional tip. Glass, ceramic or wooden tools are easy to use and keep the routine simple.
