What Is It?

Cosmetic clay is a natural earth material, typically derived from volcanic ash or other mineral-rich rocks, that has been finely ground into a powder. When mixed with water or other liquids, it forms a paste that can be applied to the skin. It's widely used in skincare for its absorbent, purifying, and nourishing properties.
