Trace Minerals Bentonite Clay Powder 16 oz — Unscented, Finely Milled for Face & Hair Masks

Trace Minerals Bentonite Clay 16 oz Powder is a finely milled, all-natural bentonite clay designed for versatile use in topical masks, body care recipes, and household beauty rituals.

Trace Minerals Bentonite Clay is a single-ingredient powder sourced and milled for consistent texture and easy mixing. This 16-ounce size is formulated for regular at-home use — from face and hair masks to foot soaks and DIY skin-care blends. The powder is unscented and free from added fillers, making it a base ingredient you can blend with water, hydrosols, oils, or other natural additives depending on your application.

How do I prepare a bentonite clay mask with this powder?

Mixing a bentonite clay mask is simple and customizable. Use non-metal utensils to preserve clay properties and adjust liquid amount until you reach a spreadable paste. Leave the mask on briefly; avoid over-drying for sensitive skin types.

• Ratio: start with 1 part clay to 1 part liquid (water, aloe, or rosewater).
• Tools: use a ceramic, glass, or wooden bowl and non-metal spoon.
• Application: apply a thin layer, leave 5–15 minutes, rinse with warm water.
• Add-ins: honey, yogurt, or a few drops of carrier oil for hydration.

Can this clay be used for hair and scalp treatments?

Yes — bentonite clay can be blended into a clarifying hair pack to help remove styling buildup and excess oils. Mix into a smooth paste, apply to damp hair and scalp, then rinse thoroughly. Follow with a conditioner if your hair is dry.

• Mix with apple cider vinegar or diluted aloe for a scalp rinse.
• Apply section by section to ensure even coverage.
• Rinse until water runs clear to avoid residue.
• Use once every 1–2 weeks based on scalp condition.

What are safe at-home uses and precautions for this bentonite clay?

Trace Minerals Bentonite Clay is intended for external use in cosmetic and household applications. Keep the powder dry and store it away from humidity. If you have very sensitive skin or allergies, perform a small patch test before full application.

• Intended for topical use; do not ingest unless product specifically labeled for consumption.
• Patch test: apply a small amount to inner forearm and wait 24 hours.
• Avoid contact with eyes; flush with water if accidental contact occurs.
• Keep out of reach of children and pets.

How should I store the 16 oz jar to maintain freshness?

Store the clay in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture to preserve texture and mixing performance. Use an airtight container if you transfer the powder, and avoid introducing wet utensils into the jar. Proper storage helps prevent clumping and keeps the clay ready for immediate use.

• Original sealed packaging or an airtight glass jar recommended.
• Keep in a dry cabinet or pantry, away from steam (bathroom over-shelves not ideal).
• Label with date opened for rotation if you keep multiple natural powders.

Who is this for: Trace Minerals Bentonite Clay 16 oz is suited for people who make their own skin and hair treatments, natural beauty enthusiasts, and household crafters who prefer a pure, single-ingredient clay base. It works well for those seeking an unscented, multi-purpose powder to include in DIY masks, scrubs, scalp clarifiers, or other non-ingestible personal care projects.
