Bentonex WS is a high quality natural sodium bentonite, milled and air classified to give a consistent fine powder. It is a purified form of bentonite clay specifically designed for use in cosmetic and personal care products. It is processed to meet strict standards for purity, safety, and performance, ensuring that it is free from harmful contaminants and has a fine particle size suitable for skincare applications. The feedstock clay is imported from a deposit in the Rio Negro province of Argentina.

Key Properties of Cosmetic Grade Bentonite:

1. Purity: Cosmetic grade bentonite is carefully purified to remove impurities such as heavy metals and other contaminants, making it safe for use on the skin.
2. Particle Size: It is finely milled to ensure a smooth texture, making it suitable for topical applications without causing abrasions or irritation.
3. Swelling Ability: When hydrated, bentonite swells and forms a gel-like substance, which allows it to effectively bind toxins, oils, and impurities.
4. Absorbent and Adsorbent: Cosmetic grade bentonite has excellent absorbent properties, making it ideal for drawing out excess oils and impurities from the skin, as well as adsorbing toxins and dirt.

Uses in Cosmetics:

1. Facial Masks: Bentonite is commonly used in clay masks to detoxify and purify the skin by absorbing excess oil and pulling impurities from the pores.
2. Cleansers: It can be used in facial cleansers and scrubs to help exfoliate the skin gently and remove dead skin cells.
3. Acne Treatments: Due to its absorbent properties, bentonite is used in acne treatments to reduce excess oil production and soothe inflamed skin.
4. Hair Care: In shampoos and hair masks, bentonite is used to remove buildup, balance the scalp, and improve the texture of the hair.
5. Body Powders: It is also used in body powders to absorb moisture and reduce friction, making it useful for products like baby powder or deodorants.
