Highest quality Western Bentonite is an adsorbent, swelling type clay. A very fine grained volcanic ash clay added to clays to improve plasticity. A clay like mineral consisting largely of montmorillonite, and characterized by its high absorptive power and active colloidal properties. In drying masks it's not normally used as the predominant clay due to it's ability to absorb large quantities of water (thus making the mask product take a very long time to dry). It is however used in smaller quantities to make mask products more elastic. Also used to suspend pigments and absorb oil. Used as a thickener in lotions, creams, cleansers, shampoos, powders and deodorant products. In household products bentonite is used as a binder and thickener in various applications including liquid hand soaps, waterlesss hand cleaning gels, liquid cleaners, detergents, oven cleaners, aerosol products and more. Inert and non-toxic. Selectively-mined and processed, high-quality sodium bentonite is dry processed.
