RED CLAY

RED CLAY



INCI Name :
ILLITE, KAOLIN


Indications


Revitalizing, healthy glow


Applications

Red clay is a clay rich in iron oxide, which gives it its characteristic hue. It is renowned for its stimulating and radiance-enhancing properties. Long used in beauty rituals, it is particularly suited for dull, tired, or redness-prone skin. Its remineralizing and balancing action makes it an essential ingredient in natural cosmetic care.

Cosmetic indications

Ideal for restoring a healthy glow, red clay is recommended for sensitive, couperose-prone, or fatigued skin. It improves microcirculation, reduces redness, and boosts the skin’s luminosity. It is also used in body care to revitalize and tone the skin. For hair, it gives suppleness and shine to dull or weakened hair.

Specific components and properties

Composed of silica, aluminum, calcium, magnesium, and especially iron oxide, red clay promotes the oxygenation of skin cells. Its mineral wealth helps remineralize and tone the epidermis. It also has a gentle absorbent action, less intense than green clay, making it well tolerated by sensitive skin.

Practical uses

  • Face: radiance masks, soothing treatments for redness-prone skin.
  • Body: toning wraps, gentle remineralizing scrubs.
  • Hair: strengthening mask for tired hair, shine treatment.
  • Specific care: treatment for dull or couperose-prone skin.

Red clay is ideal for formulating treatments that combine effectiveness and gentleness, while delivering radiance and vitality. Available in various packaging formats suited to professional or artisanal needs. Contact us to receive a technical sheet, a sample, or a personalized quote.
