Can I use your Bentonite
Clay for all my body care applications?
Yes. Is it very versatile in it's range of
applications eg. face masks, body wraps, baths, footbaths. Even those with
very sensitive skin will benefit from this all natural product. It is
suitable for regular use on acne and eczema prone skin.
Is there aluminium in
your clay?
No, our clay does not contain Aluminium (Al).
BENTONITE CLAY
is classified as an Alumino-silicate. This means its major elements are
Alumina oxide (Al2O3)
and Silica (SiO2). Hence
all Bentonite clay contains these as major elements. Bentonite would be an
entirely different substance without alumina oxide. Alumina oxide (Al203) is not
Aluminium (Al)
The
alumina oxide in clay is a natural mineral quite different from the inorganic
toxic form one gets from cooking with aluminium cookware.

Will
it block my plumbing when I drain the bath? ( do I need a drain guard?)
No it will
not but we do strongly recommend taking a few minutes to read the
instructions prior to use. The instructions have
been designed to ensure your clay bath experience is effortless and positive. The
clay is in powdered form and when mixed sufficiently with water say1 -3 cups of clay in a full bath tub it has the consistency similar to that of full cream milk.
So it will drain away easily. This is particularly so if you use a blender
to mix it. This is our preferred method of preparation. Very often any
residue is easily swished down the drain with little effort.
Cleaning up afterward
is a no fuss procedure and will not take more than a few minutes. Incidentally the clay will clean up the inside of you drain pipes and
potentially remove bacteria and moulds that cause unwanted odours.
Is it safe to use with septic
tank / bio type systems.
Do not
drain large amounts of clay water eg. bath quantities into a septic tank or
bio cycle system as it may upset the bacteria balance required for optimal
performance. If you have such a system you will need to remove the water by
bucket. Alternately it could be siphoned out the window into a container or
directly on to a garden.
