Clay Essentials Natural Skin Care - Volcanic Ash Clay

Today, Volcanic Ash Clay is the best-kept secret of the most exclusive health and beauty spas in the world. Its absorptive, calming and cleansing properties make it a highly sought-after solution for common skin problems, as it helps to visually improve the look of blemishes, cellulite, sun damage, stretch marks, wrinkles, age spots and more. Unfortunately, costly clay formulas have been available only to the privileged few who could afford them-that is, until now.

Clay Essentials brings you the restorative benefits of Volcanic Ash Clay in a line of spa-quality skincare masques that you can enjoy in the comfort and privacy of your own home. Designed for women, men and teenagers, our formulas capture the legendary powers of clay and enhance them with skin-nourishing essential oils and botanicals. At the heart of the Clay Essentials collection is Sodium Bentonite Clay, a special type of Volcanic Ash Clay known for its ability to absorb impurities better than any other kind of clay.

Sodium Bentonite Clay is a mineral-rich clay that originates from the sweeping plains of Fort Benton, Wyoming. It was named by American geologist John Pascal shortly after its discovery in 1890. Sodium Bentonite Clay is often referred to as a "living clay," which means that it is considered safe for ingestion for humans, animals and plants (although we certainly don't recommend that you eat our products!).

The Sodium Bentonite Clay used in Clay Essentials products is USP-NF grade, which stands for The United States Pharmacopeia-National Formulary. It has met rigorously high quality standards.

What's So Unique About Sodium Bentonite Clay?

It has a negative charge.
While toxins, harmful bacteria and other impurities carry a positive charge, Sodium Bentonite is negatively charged. The surface of the Sodium Bentonite Clay molecule is comprised of numerous microscopic platelets, just 1 to 2 microns in size, each with a negative electrical attraction for positively charged toxins and impurities. This creates a strong effect which draws toxins and impurities to the molecule's surface-much like a magnet-and holds them there. These impurities are then carried away with the clay when it is removed, leaving behind skin that's cleansed, refreshed and purified. Moreover, the microscopic size of Sodium Bentonite molecules enables the clay to easily penetrate the pores, which helps the skin better absorb essential nutrients and moisture.

It is highly absorbent.
Sodium Bentonite Clay is hydrophilic, which means that it has an affinity for water and is highly absorbent. In more simplistic terms, the structure of Sodium Bentonite is much like a sandwiched deck of cards. When placed in water, these cards or platelets shift apart or "swell", creating a larger surface area with which to attract toxins and impurities. This unique characteristic enables Sodium Bentonite Clay to absorb 7 to 10 times its own weight in water and swell up to 18 times its dry volume. This is why Sodium Bentonite Clay is called a "swelling clay". Its strong absorptive properties enhance its effect and make it even more effective in soaking up skin-choking toxins and impurities.

Our Exclusive Formula
Clay essentials has perfected a Sodium Bentonite Clay formula that was developed more than a decade ago, continually improving it to optimize the powerful, time-tested benefits of Volcanic Ash Clay. Now, we're making its exclusive formula available to you for the very first time.

Many years ago, a chain of volcanoes stretched from Mexico to southern Canada. Their powerful eruptions produced tiny cinders and dust-sized particles that billowed high into the sky and were carried eastward by the wind. As this volcanic "ash" descended back to the Earth, it settled into the Mowry Sea, a shallow, stagnant body of water which once occupied the central United States. There, the minerals in the volcanic ash reacted with elements of the salt water, forming a substance known as montmorillonite. Montmorillonite is commonly known today as Sodium Bentonite Clay.

Over the years, Sodium Bentonite Clay beds became buried by deep, dense layers of silica and mud. In time, however, natural erosion caused the Bentonite layers to be re-exposed, allowing Volcanic Ash Clay to at last be discovered by man.

Humankind has long embraced the health and cosmetic benefits of Volcanic Ash Clay. The first evidence of its therapeutic use was found in Mesopotamia around 2500 B.C. The ancient tribes of central Africa, North American Indians, and the spiritual leader Mahatma Gandhi all praised clay for a multitude of uses. Even Cleopatra, the Egyptian queen, used Volcanic Ash Clay as part of her daily beauty regimen.

Today, Volcanic Ash Clay is the best-kept secret of most elite health and beauty spas in the world. When applied to the skin's surface, this soothing clay firms and exfoliates, resulting in a revitalized and more youthful-looking complexion. It also has the unique ability to draw out toxins and impurities that are embedded deep within the skin's pores. The effective cleansing and absorptive properties of Volcanic Ash Clay make it a highly sought-after solution for blemishes, cellulite, sun damage, stretch marks, wrinkles and more.

Although costly Volcanic Ash Clay face and body masques used to be available only to the privileged few who could afford them, Clay Essentials now brings you a unique new line of Volcanic Ash Clay skincare masques that you can enjoy in the comfort and privacy of your own home.

What kind of Volcanic Ash Clay do Clay Essentials products contain?

Sodium Bentonite Clay is often referred to as a "living clay," which means that it is considered safe for ingestion for humans, animals and plants (although we certainly don't recommend that you eat our products!).

The Sodium Bentonite Clay used in the exclusive Clay Essentials formula originates from the western United States in an area between the Black Hills of South Dakota and the Big Horn Basin of Wyoming. It was named by American geologist John Pascal shortly after its discovery in 1890. Wyoming Bentonite is believed to originate from the activity of island volcanoes that existed in the modern-day Idaho region.

cannot be that pure as it is the testing and the high tech equipment that cost a lot of money and the people that must be hired to make sure the process is done properly and the equipment is used properly. If a company was actually doing the better processes and hiring these trained and qualified people, it would have to be reflected in the cost.

Now that it's summer shorts season, I tried a spray-on depilatory for my legs and got a TERRIBLE rash on my legs, and I do mean TERRIBLE.

It looked like a combination of ingrown hairs all over my legs and road rash after you've fallen off a motorcycle and skidded for 100 feet. I've had this kind of allergic reaction before and it takes
about two weeks to calm the skin down.

Not cool when I'm in a marathon training group and HAVE to wear shorts in this Denver heat!

I just wondered what Clay Essentials might do to help it heal so I put it on one leg. I took pictures but my cell phone camera is not so great at close-ups, but let me tell you, Wow. The leg I put it on
healed overnight! It's going on the other leg this morning.

Unbelievable!!

While I was at it, I put it on my corns and callouses. It seems to soften and dissolve them because they're all but gone.

Woo hoo!

My name is Nancy and I have been with Trilogy for two months. Wow, I can't believe how easy and fun this company is to represent. In addition to a terrific start with the pet side of the business, I am having a lot of success with the Clay Essentials business. I have given out over 70 clay samples and everyone has loved this product. I am selling products and recruiting reps in my organization ... in only two month's time! Trilogy is an amazing company. They have all you need to succeed. All you have to do is Listen and Learn. It's truly that simple.

"I had used products before during pregnancy that were supposed to diminish my stretch marks, and they didn't work. So I put Clay Essentials on my thighs and upper leg area where I had stretch marks from having my last baby. Even with just three or four applications, I noticed those lines looked like they were starting to disappear. It also made my skin so much smoother. I highly recommend Clay Essentials to all of those women out there looking for a product that really does improve the look of stretch marks!"
--Reinalyn A., Jensen Beach, FL

"I've been in the cosmetic industry for years and I'm always looking for natural products. I was introduced to Clay Essentials by my son, who came over and urged me to try it. I decided to give it a shot, and to my amazement, my skin felt so tight, smooth, and soft afterwards-I was ready to go out on the town! I was very impressed. I prefer Clay Essentials to the product I had been using and would recommend it to anybody."
--Pat A., Jensen Beach, FL

"After 10 years in the landscape business, you get a lot of sun damage; my skin felt like leather. I had always thought clay masques were just for women, but after trying Clay Essentials once, wow-what a difference! I really love that my skin feels so soft, smooth and fresh-the best it has felt in a decade. People are already telling me I look five years younger. What more could I ask for?"
-- Bob A., Jensen Beach, FL

"I'm 55 years old and have had problems with age spots. After using Clay Essentials for a couple of weeks, I'm really starting to see them fade. I've used the Eye & Lip Masque as well, and I've noticed that the wrinkles on my upper lip are softening and look like they're disappearing. Over the years, I've spent an awful lot of money on high-priced cosmetics-especially skin care products. But I've found that with Clay Essentials, it doesn't cost as much, and I'm getting better results!"
--Linda L. Port St. Lucie, FL

"I'm an aesthetician and I work with plastic surgeons. I want to see results, and that's what you'll get with Clay Essentials. It's impressive to have a product where you actually see skin improvements after one application-I would definitely call Clay Essentials a 'miracle clay'! Great price-great results!"
