When you're choosing a health and wellness product, especially one for sports recovery, FTC compliance isn't just a checkbox: it's your guarantee of honesty and safety. With so many brands making bold claims without backing them up, you deserve to know exactly where Clayer stands when it comes to federal regulations, transparency, and certifications.
The answer is clear: Clayer doesn't just meet FTC requirements: we exceed them.
What Does FTC Compliance Really Mean for Health Products?
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) exists to protect consumers from deceptive marketing practices. For health and wellness companies, this means:
- All health claims must be scientifically substantiated
- Product marketing cannot mislead consumers about benefits
- Ingredients and safety information must be transparent
- Third-party endorsements must be genuine and disclosed
- Any limitations or side effects must be clearly stated
Many companies in the healing clay space cut corners on these requirements. They make vague health claims without scientific backing, hide ingredient sourcing, or fail to provide proper safety certifications. This is exactly what Clayer was created to change.
Clayer's Transparency Goes Beyond Legal Requirements
Complete Ingredient Disclosure
Unlike competitors who hide behind proprietary blends, Clayer provides complete transparency about our French green clay composition:
- Illite (60-70%) - Primary healing mineral
- Bentonite (20-25%) - Detoxification properties
- Kaolin (10-15%) - Gentle skin support
- Essential minerals including magnesium, potassium, and iron
Every batch undergoes rigorous third-party testing to verify these percentages and ensure consistency.
Scientific Substantiation of All Claims
When Clayer states our clay reduces inflammation and accelerates recovery, we back it up with peer-reviewed research:
- Cambridge University studies on French green clay healing properties
- USGS research on clay mineral characteristics
- NSF studies on clay's antibacterial properties
These aren't marketing-funded studies: they're independent research from respected institutions.
Ecocert Certification: The Gold Standard for Natural Products
Clayer holds Ecocert certification for 100% Natural and Non-Toxic status: one of the most stringent certifications available for natural products. Our certification confirms:
What Ecocert Certification Guarantees:
- Zero synthetic additives or preservatives
- No artificial fragrances or colorants
- Heavy metal testing below detectable limits
- Sustainable sourcing practices
- Annual third-party audits of our entire supply chain
Most healing clay companies cannot obtain or maintain Ecocert certification because their products contain impurities, additives, or lack proper documentation. Clayer's certification proves our commitment to purity goes beyond marketing claims.
Heavy Metal Testing: Where Most Companies Fail
The dirty secret of the clay industry? Most products contain detectable levels of heavy metals like lead, arsenic, and mercury. This is why the FTC has increased scrutiny on clay products.
Clayer's Heavy Metal Testing Results:
- Lead: Non-detectable
- Arsenic: Non-detectable
- Mercury: Non-detectable
- Cadmium: Non-detectable
These results come from independent laboratories using EPA-approved testing methods. We test every production batch, not just random samples. Our detailed safety documentation shows exactly how we achieve these results through:
- Volcanic source region selection in France
- Multi-stage purification processes
- Continuous quality monitoring
- Chain of custody documentation from mine to package
