Use for masks, internally, or for DIY beauty products
I really love this bentonite clay. It is a very large jar and comes with a safety seal inside under the lid for freshness. I used about a third of it to make natural deodorant. Ingredients: Baking soda, raw Shea Butter, Aspen Mango Butter, Arrowroot powder, Arrow bentonite clay, jojoba oil, apricot seed oil, extra virgin coconut oil, frankincense, peppermint, and tangerine essential oils. I heated up all the butters and oils gently and whisked them together in a bowl. Then I slowly mixed the baking soda, arrowroot powder (flour), and the bentonite clay in a separate bowl. Once mixed, I slowly added a few spoonfuls of the dry mixture into the butter oil mix and whisked til smooth then added more dry mixture. I repeated this until all the dry mixture was folded in. It was a gray color, but was translucent when I tested it on the back of my hand. It smells beautiful! I spooned the sloppy mixture into small, wide jars with lids and stored them in the fridge to cool and harden. Now I have natural deodorant for my own use and to give as gifts, if I wish. The clay helps to give it structure and helps draw out impurities under the arms. It is very absorbent as well and helps to keep me dry.<br />  The clay I received is a soft gray color that turns darker like a greenish gray when wet. I have a small spoon I use to scoop out some clay when I want to make a mud mask or make DIY beauty products with it. It has detoxifying properties and can be used to make poultices. The bentonite clay can also be used internally, although I have not ventured to do that yet. I have used a few other bentonite clay products and find this one to be comparable and high quality.
