Seaweed clay pairs cosmetic clay with finely milled organic seaweed, giving a deep green-grey powder with a faint mineral, oceanic scent. The seaweed brings its own texture and colour to the blend, making it the most distinctive powder in the range.

The 100g size is the standard jar for personal use. Mixed a teaspoon or two at a time, it lasts most people several months of regular masking.

Who it suits

Popular with people who want something more interesting than a plain clay mask, and with makers after a natural deep-green colour. Moderately absorbent, so it suits normal to oily skin.

What people use it for

• Face and body masks with a mineral-rich feel
• A deep green natural colourant in cold process soap
• Spa-style body wraps
• Bath soaks
• Scalp and hair masks

How to mix a mask

Stir 1–2 teaspoons of clay with roughly an equal amount of water, floral water or aloe until you have a smooth paste. Apply to clean skin, leave for 5–10 minutes and rinse before it dries completely — letting a clay mask crack and flake is what leaves skin feeling tight afterwards. Mix in a glass or ceramic bowl with a wooden or silicone spoon rather than metal.

Why choose this one

• Superfine milled, so it mixes smooth without grit
• No fragrance, preservatives, fillers or bulking agents
• Colour comes from the clay's own minerals, not added pigment
• Versatile across face masks, soap making and hair care
• Supplied in a resealable pack

Storage

Keep in a sealed container in a cool, dry place. Only ever mix what you need — moisture getting into the jar will spoil the rest of the powder.

Before you start

For external cosmetic use. Patch test on a small area before first use, as with any new skincare ingredient.
