Velay Green Clay
A rich and living volcanic material

Extracted at the foot of the Auvergne volcanoes, green clay is distinguished by its particularly rich mineral composition. Naturally composed of illite, kaolinite, and , this clay possesses remarkable absorption, adsorption, and exchange capabilities.

Absorption: The clay has a microporous structure capable of absorbing excess sebum, the cause of greasiness, while maintaining the balance of the skin barrier. The skin appears clearer, fresher, and visibly rebalanced.

Adsorption: Thanks to its extremely high surface area, the clay can capture impurities, pollution particles, and lipid residues present on the skin. When rinsed off, these elements are removed along with the mask, leaving the skin clearer and the complexion more radiant.

Mineral Exchange: Upon contact with the skin and water, clay can capture certain ions present on the surface of the epidermis and release minerals it naturally contains, such as silicon, magnesium, or calcium. This process helps purify the skin while contributing to its mineral balance.

Used for generations in traditional skincare, this clay remains one of the most effective natural remedies for purifying and clarifying the skin.

FAQ
Who is this mask intended for?

The Velay Green Clay Mask is suitable for all skin types seeking purity and radiance.

It is particularly well-suited for combination to oily skin prone to shine or visible pores, but can also help brighten dull complexions and refresh tired skin.

What makes this mask special?

Unlike traditional clay masks that dry quickly, the Apoticari formula is designed with a creamy texture to maintain skin comfort during application. The clay is combined with vegetable glycerin and apricot kernel oil, which lend softness and suppleness to the formula. The skin thus benefits from the purifying properties of the clay while maintaining its natural moisture. The texture remains supple, easy to apply, and comfortable on the skin.

What are its main benefits?

Thanks to its naturally rich mineral composition, green clay helps absorb excess sebum, draw out impurities, and unclog pores. It also helps deliver minerals to the skin’s surface, contributing to its balance. Combined with vegetable glycerin and apricot kernel oil, the formula preserves the skin’s comfort and natural moisture. After rinsing, the skin appears clearer, fresher, and the complexion more radiant.

How to use it?

Traditionally, clay should not be allowed to dry completely on the skin. As it dries, it loses some of its absorbency and can become uncomfortable. Apoticari recommends applying a generous layer of the mask and leaving it on for a few minutes, making sure the surface remains slightly moist.

How often should you use a clay mask?

Use this mask once or twice a week, depending on your skin's needs.

Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
