Mediterranean Green Clay

The reason why Argil green clay is so powerful, is due to its impressive chemical composition. We spend years trying to find a clay that does it all, yet does not affect skin sensitivities. The combination of minerals in Argil working together do an incredible job at clearing skin and keeping it healthy.

Magnesium (Mg) – is vital for repairing and maintaining healthy body cells. Magnesium is an essential mineral linked to hundreds of metabolic processes within the body, affecting among other things nucleic acid production (DNA, RNA), which promotes regeneration of cells. Magnesium has an ability to cleanse your skin and detoxify the entire epidermis. Allergic reactions can be relieved or eliminated with the help of Magnesium. Magnesium enhances the natural hydration of your skin and encourages the production of collagen already present in your skin cells.

Calcium (Ca) – does a lot to keep your skin cells going:
• regulates cell division, shedding off dead cells and encouraging new cell production
• stimulates healthy skin color through pigment control
• preserves moisture barrier to reduce dryness and increase in cell regeneration
• responsible for production of age-defying and cancer-fighting antioxidants
• positively affects nervous system, providing a calming effect.

Calcium does a fine job preventing damage to the cell structure, fighting premature aging, developing resistance to wrinkles and skin cancer through its links to antioxidant production.

Iron (Fe) – absorbed in the blood stream, this mineral helps transport oxygen to skin and hair, working together with Ca and Mg toward healthy hair growth. Iron in conjunction with other minerals found in Argil helps maintain hair color (slows down loss of pigments leading to grey hair) and prevents hair loss. Iron is also instrumental in promoting good skin tone.

Gypsum (CaSO4) – another name for hydrous calcium sulfate - allows Argil to glitter, but not only. Gypsum clay masques have been used all over the world for many years to rid skin of acne. Although humans don’t have a need for Gypsum as a mineral supplement on its own, this element aids all others in the Argil’s composition to make it an even stronger agent to fight skin and hair problems.

Organic Matter – decomposed organic plant and other calcium-laden matter from the ancient sea floor gives Argil its distinct color together with Iron Oxides (Iron enriched with Oxygen), which is very similar to the Dead Sea minerals and provides dozens of trace minerals for skin and hair nourishment.

Acidity (pH) – Green Clay has a 7.26 pH-balance, which is acidity level closest to human blood. Products with pH significantly different from our skin contribute to proliferation of acne bacteria and other skin problems. Argil is neutral and nonreactive to skin, which helps rid skin of various problems by naturally balancing it.

Argil green clay is the reason I started Katari. Seriously, if more people knew about how incredible this one ingredient is, it would literally then replace hundreds of products that need to be formulated to create a lesser benefit.

Benefits of Argil

• Argil is naturally hypoallergenic and pH-neutral and is perfect to help stop acne bacteria from growing
• Tiny clay ions bind to toxins and impurities and don't let them go. This is why nuclear scientists use bentonite clay to incapsulate nuclear waste. 
• Argil helps put skin cells into normal cellular turnover pattern. This is extremely helpful for those suffering from psoriasis. While clay cannot heal psoriasis, it helps smooth and clear skin
• Argil has anti-bacterial properties and helps skin rid of parasites, and deeply cleanses it, refining pores and pulling out blackheads and whiteheads
• Green clay might seem drying because it pulls out excess sebum from the skin, actually helps rebuild moisture barrier, and healthy new skin cells to keep skin looking young and healthy

Uses of Argil

Argil green clay can be used all over entire body from head to toe. Here are just a few ways to use it and we will add protocols and recipes with Argil green clay for you to try. You cannot misuse this clay, so have fun and experiment!

1. facial masque to draw out blackheads, shrink pores and even skin tone
2. hair masque or instead of a clarifying shampoo to deeply cleanse hair and scalp and get rid of mechnical build-up
3. detoxifying and remineralizing body wrap
4. foot detox bath
5. foot mapping with reflexology treatment - areas that dry last need most attention - use reflexology map

Storage
Please store Argil green clay in air-tight container, so that it does not absorb smells or impurities out of air. Light or temperature do not affect clay. Always mix fresh and discard used mixture. Do not re-use or try to rehydrate (it is possible to rehydrate mixed clay but it is not fun).

Shelf life
Green clay has indefinite shelf life. As long as it is properly stored in air-tight container (unmixed), it can stay perfectly good forever.

Warning
Green clay is not toxic and does not cause any allergenic reactions. In some countries people mix clay with water and take it instead of vitamins because of its mineral content. 

Argil green clay can cause skin redness, which is NOT an allergic reaction but due to clay drawing blood closer to the skin surface. It is an absolutely normal reaction and it will resolve by itself very quickly. It means clay is doing its job.
