The clay has a unique composition and can absorb “negatively charged” toxins. People have been using it for centuries as a way to detoxify the body, improve skin tone, and more. Bentonite Clay is a popular ingredient in skincare products, as it absorbs toxins like pesticides, lead, and trace metals, as well as oils, dirt, and bacteria. It helps skincare products adhere to your skin and be more water resistant. Because of this, Bentonite Clay has been found to be more effective than some other sunscreens without it. Some use the clay made into a paste by mixing with purified water for treating acne, to ease poison ivy  and poison oak rash, to help allergic contact dermatitis, to ease itchy skin, to help the healing of skin lesions and ulcers, and even to treat diaper rash. In one study, around 93% of infants with diaper rash improved within 6 hours, and 90% were completely healed in 3 days.  Usually mixed with purified water to make a paste, the clay can also be mixed with shea butter, oat butter, coconut oil, or other gentle butters, oils, or creams. The powder is used as a natural detoxifying face mask by adding purified water, which makes a clay paste that is layered on the face. The paste attracts toxins laying deep in the skin. When left on the face as it dries (usually about 10 minutes), then removing with a wet washcloth, it draws out and absorbs impurities. Using a clay mask is a healthy alternative to masks with chemicals and harsh synthetic ingredients. Clay masks are also said to help with foot odor. When storing the bentonite clay paste, keep the mixture in a clean glass container with a plastic, silicone, or glass lid.  If a metal lid is used, the clay may absorb some of the metal’s properties over time and is therefore not recommended. Do not use any kind of metal spoons or implements for mixing or application. Before using bentonite clay on the skin, do a skin test for allergies. Apply a small amount to the area inside the elbow and wait 24 hours to ensure no allergic reaction results. Bentonite is sometimes consumed in small amounts as capsules. Taking capsules may boost immunity by fighting off bacteria. It may help cleanse the body of built-up toxins, and may help those with symptoms of IBS, leaky gut, and other digestive conditions.
