Bentonex WS is a high quality natural sodium bentonite, milled and air classified to give a consistent fine powder. It is a purified form of bentonite clay specifically designed for use in cosmetic and personal care products. It is processed to meet strict standards for purity, safety, and performance, ensuring that it is free from harmful contaminants and has a fine particle size suitable for skincare applications. The feedstock clay is imported from a deposit in the Rio Negro province of Argentina.
Key Properties of Cosmetic Grade Bentonite:
- Purity: Cosmetic grade bentonite is carefully purified to remove impurities such as heavy metals and other contaminants, making it safe for use on the skin.
- Particle Size: It is finely milled to ensure a smooth texture, making it suitable for topical applications without causing abrasions or irritation.
