Hair and Oral Care

Yes, you read that right: bentonite clay works wonders beyond your skin:

  1. Create remineralizing toothpaste for natural oral care
  2. Fight gum disease through regular clay applications
  3. Deep clean hair with clay shampoo treatments
  4. Reduce dandruff and scalp irritation
  5. Remove product buildup from styling products
  6. Strengthen hair follicles to reduce hair loss
  7. Balance scalp pH for healthier hair growth

Internal Wellness (With Proper Guidance)

Many people use food-grade bentonite clay internally, but always consult with a healthcare provider first:

  1. Support digestive detox
  2. Neutralize heartburn naturally
  3. Ease occasional constipation
  4. Help with IBS symptoms
  5. Remove heavy metals from the body
  6. Boost probiotic benefits
  7. Support immune function

Important: Not all bentonite clays are created equal. Many clays contain dangerous levels of lead and other heavy metals. That's why CLAYER products are certified heavy metals free and undergo rigorous testing. Your health isn't something to gamble with.

Why Quality Matters

Here's what you need to know: NOT ALL HEALING CLAYS ARE SAFE. Studies have shown that some clay products contain concerning levels of lead and other contaminants that can actually harm your health rather than help it.

CLAYER uses a proprietary blend of French green clay (illite), bentonite, and kaolin that's:

  • 100% natural and non-toxic
  • Heavy metals free (certified)
  • Doctor recommended
  • Scientifically proven for healing
  • Ready to use (no messy mixing)

How to Get Started

The beauty of bentonite clay is its simplicity. For most external uses:

  1. Apply a thick layer (¼ to 1 inch) directly to the affected area
  2. Leave on for 10-20 minutes or until nearly dry
  3. Rinse with warm water
  4. Repeat as needed

For overnight applications on stubborn issues, wrap with plastic wrap to keep the clay moist and maximize benefits.

The Bottom Line

From your medicine cabinet to your beauty routine, from your gym bag to your camping kit: bentonite clay earns its place as one of the most versatile natural healing tools you can own.

Whether you're treating a scraped knee, recovering from an intense workout, or just want clearer, healthier skin, quality healing clay delivers results.
