French Green Clay

French Green Clay is one of nature's most effective mineral-rich clays, renowned for its ability to deeply cleanse, purify and rebalance the skin. Naturally rich in beneficial minerals and trace elements, it helps absorb excess oil, draw out impurities and leave the complexion feeling fresh, clarified and beautifully balanced.

💚 Deep Cleansing Mineral Clay

✨ Helps Absorb Excess Oil

🌿 Purifies & Rebalances Skin

💚 Ideal for Oily & Combination Skin

French Green Clay is a naturally occurring mineral clay sourced from ancient deposits in France. Its distinctive green colour comes from naturally occurring iron oxides and decomposed plant material, making it one of the most mineral-rich cosmetic clays available.

Highly absorbent by nature, French Green Clay works by drawing excess oil, dirt and impurities from the skin's surface while helping to unclog pores and refresh congested complexions. It is particularly valued for oily, combination and blemish-prone skin because it helps restore balance without harsh scrubbing or aggressive ingredients.

Its rich mineral content leaves skin feeling clean, smooth and revitalised, making it a favourite ingredient in purifying face masks.

At Bloom, we selected French Green Clay for its exceptional ability to deeply purify the skin while remaining naturally gentle.

It is a hero ingredient in our Balance Face Mask, where it works alongside carefully chosen botanical extracts to help absorb excess oil, minimise the appearance of congestion and leave skin feeling fresh, balanced and comfortably clean.
