Our Sodium Bentonite Clay (montmorillonite) is silica-based and colloidal in nature, which means the particles suspend in liquid without breaking down or dissolving. It is commonly used in natural skin and hair treatments to aid in removing oil and toxins from the body.
It got its name from Fort Benton, Wyoming, which has the largest source of clay. Yet, this clay can now be found all over the world. Our Bentonite Clay is mined in Wyoming and Montana. Mining practices are designed to keep out impurities. The clay is kiln-dried, milled, and screened to size.
