GER GENERAL MERCHANDISE Calcium Bentonite Clay Powder 10 lb Food-Grade — Unrefined for Masks, Baths & Hair

GER GENERAL MERCHANDISE Calcium Bentonite Clay is a 10-pound, food-grade unrefined clay powder for topical beauty uses and other traditional applications.

This bulk calcium bentonite arrives in a tightly sealed bag sourced from Nevada, USA, and contains only pure, unrefined clay with no additives, fillers, or preservatives. It’s intended for cosmetic and supplemental uses such as face masks, baths, hair treatments, foot soaks, and occasional internal use according to safe guidelines. The packaging keeps the powder secure during transit; any dust you see is the natural clay, not contamination.

How should I prepare this clay for a facial mask?

Mix the powder with a nonmetal liquid into a smooth paste and apply briefly, especially if you have sensitive skin. Perform a patch test on the forearm before first use, avoid leaving the mask on too long, and rinse thoroughly with warm water.

• Combine clay with water, aloe, or apple cider vinegar (nonmetal bowl/spoon)
• Apply 5–10 minutes for sensitive skin, longer only if tolerated
• Do a forearm patch test first to check for sensitivity
• Rinse with warm water and moisturize after use

Can this clay be used internally and how do I do that safely?

When labeled food grade, bentonite clay has been used as a supplemental ingredient by some people; follow conservative dosing and consult a healthcare professional before internal use. Mix small amounts in nonmetal liquids, avoid prolonged or excessive ingestion, and keep the product away from metal to preserve its properties.

• Only use the food-grade product and follow safe dosing guidance
• Dissolve clay in water using glass, ceramic, or plastic utensils
• Start with very small amounts and monitor tolerance
• Consult a healthcare provider before regular internal use

What are the best ways to include this clay in a bath, hair mask, or body wrap?

This clay mixes well into warm baths, hair treatments, and full-body wraps to create a smooth suspension that rinses clean. Use nonmetal tools, adjust concentration to your comfort level, and moisturize after use to maintain skin hydration.

• Add a generous scoop to a warm bath and soak 10–20 minutes
• For hair masks, blend with water or conditioner and apply to roots and lengths
• For body wraps, spread an even layer and follow with a warm towel or film
• Rinse thoroughly and apply a light moisturizer afterward

How should I store and handle this clay to keep it effective?

Keep the bag sealed in a cool, dry place and avoid contact with metal, which can alter the clay’s activity. Handle with clean, nonmetal scoops and reseal the packaging after each use to prevent moisture infiltration.

• Store in original sealed bag away from humidity
• Use glass, ceramic, or plastic utensils only—no metal
• If exposed to air, reseal promptly to maintain freshness
• Label and date the bag if transferring to another container

Who is this for: This 10-pound bag is suited for anyone who prefers natural, single-ingredient supplies in larger quantities—DIY beauty formulators, spa owners, bath and body artisans, or households that use clay regularly. It’s also appropriate for people seeking a food-grade clay option for occasional, cautious supplemental use, provided they follow safety guidance and consult professionals when needed.
