How do I make a simple face mask with this clay?

Create a smooth paste by combining MB Herbals French Green Clay with a hydrating liquid such as rose water or plain water. Apply an even layer to clean skin, let it sit until nearly dry (about 15–20 minutes), then rinse with lukewarm water and pat dry. Avoid over-drying; if the mask feels tight, remove sooner and follow with a moisturizer.

• 1–2 tablespoons clay + enough rose water to form a spreadable paste
• Apply thin layer; 15–20 minutes maximum
• Rinse with lukewarm water; follow with moisturizer

Can I use this clay as an exfoliating scrub?

Yes — blend the clay with a gentle physical exfoliant and a liquid to create a mild scrub. Massage briefly (around 1–2 minutes) to buff skin, then leave for a couple more minutes before rinsing. Use no more than once or twice weekly to avoid irritation.

• Try 1 tablespoon clay + 1 tablespoon walnut shell powder + apple cider vinegar
• Massage gently for 1–2 minutes, then leave 2–3 minutes
• Rinse thoroughly and moisturize

How is this clay used in soap making and bath products?

MB Herbals French Green Clay mixes readily into melt-and-pour or cold-process soap for natural color, mild mineral content, and slip. Use it as a pigment, suspension ingredient, or gentle additive in bath salts and body masks. Start with small test batches to adjust color and texture before scaling up.

• Typical usage: 1–3% of total soap batch weight for subtle color
• Pre-mix with a small oil or water phase to prevent clumping
• Compatible with essential oils and botanical powders
