Australian Bentonite Clay Food Grade - Queensland Sourced
Formed from ancient volcanic ash and naturally compressed beneath the sea, our Australian Sodium Bentonite is a fine, mineral-rich clay with exceptional absorbency. Its high colloidal activity helps bind and lift away surface impurities—making it a favourite for deep-cleansing masks, soothing baths, and everyday DIY recipes.
Why choose this clay
- Queensland origin, food grade: 100% pure sodium bentonite—no fillers or additives.
- Ultra-absorbent: Swells and binds to impurities for effective cleansing.
- Batch-tested quality: Verified by independent mineral analysis.
- Aluminium-free claim clarified: No elemental aluminium detected; see FAQ below.
Popular ways to use
- Face mask: Deep-cleanse to remove excess oil and impurity build-up.
- Detox-style bath soak: Add to warm water for a mineral-rich soak.
- Underarm/scalp paste: A simple clay-and-water paste for occasional build-up care.
- DIY projects: Natural deodorant bases, clay body wraps, foot soaks, and more.
How to use
- Always mix in non-metal utensils and a non-metal bowl.
- Face Mask (normal/oily): 1 part clay : 3 parts water or apple cider vinegar. Apply a thin layer, avoid eyes and lips, leave 10–20 min, rinse with warm water.
- Face Mask (dry/sensitive): As above but leave 5–10 min; do not let fully crack.
- Bath Soak: In a separate bowl, blend 1–4 cups clay with warm water until smooth. Add gradually to a warm bath, soak ~20 min, then rinse and moisturise.
Ingredients & origin

- Origin: Queensland, Australia
Aluminium in clay? (Quick FAQ)
Bentonite belongs to the alumino-silicate family, meaning its natural structure includes alumina (Al₂O₃) bound tightly with silica. That’s different from elemental aluminium (Al) used in manufacturing. Independent testing (borate-fusion XRF mineral analysis) shows no elemental aluminium detected in our clay. The alumina present is inert within the clay structure and not bioavailable.
Good to know
- Patch-test before first use.
