The Science Behind Kid-Safe Clay Healing
What makes Clayer particularly effective for children isn't just what it contains, it's what it doesn't contain. Traditional first-aid products often include harsh chemicals, alcohol-based antiseptics, and synthetic compounds that can irritate young skin.
French Green Clay works through natural mineral absorption and ion exchange. When applied to damaged skin, it:
- Draws out toxins and impurities from wounds and rashes
- Delivers essential minerals directly to healing tissues
- Reduces inflammation through natural anti-inflammatory compounds
- Promotes faster cell regeneration without synthetic stimulants
The result? Faster healing with zero side effects, exactly what parents want for their young athletes.

Common Surf Injuries in Young Athletes (And How Clayer Helps)
Every surf parent knows the drill: your grom comes in from a session with new scrapes, burns, or irritations. Here are the most common issues and how Clayer addresses each:
Saltwater Rashes and Chafing
Salt exposure can cause painful rashes, especially where wetsuits rub against skin. Clayer's mineral-rich formula soothes irritation while creating a protective barrier that prevents further damage.
Minor Cuts and Reef Scrapes
Sharp coral, rocks, and fins cause cuts that need immediate attention. Clayer's antiseptic properties clean wounds naturally while promoting faster tissue repair, no stinging alcohol required.
Sun Damage and Dryness
Even with sunscreen, young surfers often deal with sun-damaged, dehydrated skin. French Green Clay restores moisture balance while delivering minerals that support skin health.
Wetsuit Irritation
Prolonged wetsuit wear can cause chafing and contact dermatitis. Clayer's anti-inflammatory action reduces redness and discomfort while preventing secondary infections.
