Physical and chemical properties of Red Clay

• Liquid absorption: Clays, including red clay, have the ability to absorb liquids such as water, acting like a sponge. This property enables the clay to retain moisture and release it gradually, offering prolonged hydration to the skin.
• Molecule adsorption: Thanks to their negative charge, clays can bind molecules to their surface. This property is due to their high concentration of mineral salts. Red clay adsorbs impurities and toxins from the skin's surface, purifying and cleansing deep down.
• Ion exchange: in solution, red clay attracts positive ions and exchanges them with the skin. This process helps remineralize and detoxify the skin, enriching it with essential minerals such as iron, calcium and magnesium. This ionic interaction improves the skin's health and appearance, making it more radiant and revitalized.
