When it comes to caring for your hair, a healthy scalp is the foundation of strong, soft and smooth hair. That's why we've included fine green clay in our Hydrating Hair & Scalp Mask, a naturally mineral-rich ingredient that helps refresh the scalp while supporting healthy, hydrated hair.
What is Fine Green Clay?
Fine green clay is a naturally occurring clay, rich in minerals and known for its purifying properties. It can gently absorb excess oil, impurities and product build-up, and leaves the scalp feeling clean, balanced and refreshed without stripping away essential moisture.
Where does it come from?
Fine green clay is a naturally occurring mineral clay that forms over thousands of years through the weathering of volcanic ash and mineral-rich rocks. It is typically composed of minerals such as illite, montmorillonite, kaolin, magnesium, calcium, potassium. It gets its distinctive colour from decomposed plant matter and minerals like iron oxide.
It is found in several parts of the world, including:
- France - one of the best-known sources, particularly for cosmetic-grade green clay.
- Italy
- Spain
- Morocco
The benefits of Fine Green Clay
1. Purifies and refreshes the scalp
Fine green clay helps lift away excess impurities and everyday build-up. A cleansed scalp can feel lighter, fresher and more comfortable between washes.
2. Helps rebalance excess oil
If your scalp is prone to becoming oily, fine green clay works to absorb excess oil while maintaining the scalp's natural balance, leaving hair feeling clean and revitalised.
3. Hydrates and smooths
Rich in natural oils, it will help to reduce dryness, frizz and breakage, while soothing any irritation.
4. Supports healthier hair
By helping to remove build-up from both the scalp and hair, fine green clay allows nourishing ingredients to work more effectively, leaving hair feeling more manageable.
