Bentonite Volcanic Clay
What It Is
Bentonite volcanic clay is a natural clay formed from volcanic ash. Known for its unique ability to absorb and bind to impurities, bentonite clay has been used for centuries in natural health and wellness for its cleansing and purifying properties.
Why We Use It
Bentonite clay is celebrated for its ability to draw out toxins and impurities. In oral care, it helps cleanse and detoxify the mouth, supporting fresher breath and a balanced oral environment. Its rich mineral content may also contribute to the remineralization of teeth.
Benefits of Bentonite Volcanic Clay
Helps Remove Plaque and Bacteria
Bentonite clay’s mild abrasiveness and natural adsorptive properties help cleanse the mouth by lifting away plaque and impurities.
Neutralizes Bad Breath
By binding to bacteria and other impurities, bentonite clay helps reduce sources of bad breath, leaving your mouth feeling fresh.
Rich in Minerals
Bentonite is packed with beneficial minerals, like calcium, magnesium, and silica, which can contribute to the remineralization of teeth and support oral health.
Balances Oral pH
Bentonite clay’s alkalizing properties can help balance the pH levels in the mouth, creating an environment that’s less hospitable to harmful bacteria.
FUN FACT
Bentonite is often called "living clay" because of its electrical charge. When mixed with water, it gains a negative charge, which allows it to attract and bind to positively charged toxins and impurities, making it a natural detoxifier.
