Oh boy.. a challenge! "Someone needs to make a blend for me."
A blend of the clays?
For what kind of use?


Glad your felling well! And thank you for such great feedback on the products. This makes me happy!

Hehe. Well, primarily for skin detoxification and exfoliation (like for when my face is breaking out in pimples galore), but also to apply to my knees and wrists and sinus points and ankles, when I have a flare-up. Also, I hear rhassoul clay makes a good shampoo.
If you were to accept the challenge, I think the clays and muds could be blended with various carrier oils and EOs and butters, like helichrysum and and chamomile and and tamanu and sea buckthorn and shea butter and such, plus herbal extracts like burdock and neem. That way the blend could be applied to bug bites, burns, scratches, cystic acne, scars, eczema, etc.
As far as I know, such a blend doesn't exist, so you'd be the first to make it!

Always exciting!

Here's my concern...(which is why I make the 2 part face mask/scrub) it's the nature of clays to harden when the moisture added starts to evaporate... hence, the drying, drawing, detoxing effect which makes it so useful. I could see a 2 part application here, too, but I can't imagine how to keep it soft if pre-blended

Hmm, that IS a concern. I'm trying to think about how other masks with mud and clay blends stay soft in the jar.

I'm just not sure and would hope they don't use some chemical softening agent.

Well, I did some browsing around on Etsy. As it turns out, a lady sells a mask that blends Dead Sea Mud, Moor Mud, and Rhassoul Clay, with herbs, and she adds coconut oil into the whole mix. I looked around a bit more, and it looks like other people who sell homemade mud/clay masks use oils like coconut, olive, grapeseed, or jojoba, as a base.
