Go Green Natural Handmade Soap by Lololi Cosmetics
French Green Clay, also known as Sea Clay, is mined from quarries in France. It has a soft, silky texture and a light green color that comes from iron oxides and decomposed plant material (French Green clay should never be white or gray in color). FGC is one of the most commonly used cosmetic clays worldwide because of its effectiveness on the skin. It absorbs and removes impurities, while also stimulating the skin. When used as a mask and left on the skin it can tighten pores leaving skin feeling firm. The clay contains calcium, magnesium, manganese, potassium, silicon, selenium and other minerals.
For years French Green Clay was produced in France but due to its popularity in the cosmetics industry other areas of the world, such as China and parts of the USA, that have a similar clay also now produce “French” Green clay. FGC is produced at quarries that have been mined for deposits. These deposits can be anywhere from 100 feet to several thousand feet. The clay is then left out in the sun so that excess water can be removed. Next, the clay is processed by hydraulic crushers and then pulverized with fine mesh. It is then left out in the sun one final time to remove any excess liquid.
