French Green Clay Soap Benefits

French Green clay also known as sea clay or Illite used in bath products helps draw out harmful toxins from the skin.  It also helps pull blood to the the skin surface improving circulation and healing of the skin. It is a suggested clay to ease the symptoms of eczema.

The clay actually contains Bentonite clay as well as various other beneficial minerals from the decomposed plant materials of the ancient sea beds it is gathered from. The deeper green French green clay is the more rich in these nutrients it is.

While using this in a clay facial mask or bath soak will impart stronger benefits, French Green Clay Soap is convenient for regular use right in the shower.

See my Bentonite Clay Soap recipe for a similar soap making project option.

Using Clay in Melt and Pour Soap Recipes

It just takes an extra step to successfully blend sea clay, as well as other clays into the soap mixture. Imparting the benefits of sea clay in your soap recipes is well worth the small effort.

By creating a slurry paste of the clay with vegetable glycerin or a small amount of the melted soap base you will be able to evenly blend it into the soap mixture. I prefer to use glycerin myself, and in the case of this recipe rose hip oil was added to the clay paste as well before incorporating into the French Green clay soap.
