That color comes from a combination of iron oxides and decomposed plant matter, phyto-minerals that contribute to its remarkable absorbency and skin-toning properties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt Le Silo Bleu, French green clay carries a natural connection to the French botanical tradition that runs through everything we make. In our soap and haircare formulas, it contributes its well-documented clarifying and oil-balancing properties alongside its beautiful natural color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow It Works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrench green clay is one of the most absorbent cosmetic clays available, drawing excess sebum, impurities, and toxins from the skin and scalp surface through a process of ion exchange. As it absorbs it also stimulates micro-circulation, supporting a more energized, toned skin feel. In haircare, it is particularly effective in clarifying formulas designed to lift buildup from the scalp without stripping the hair's natural oils entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSkin \u0026amp; Scalp Character\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCharacter: Deeply clarifying, toning, circulation-stimulating\u003cbr\u003eBest for: Oily, combination, or congested skin and scalp\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFor external use only.
