Red clay, also known as red illite clay, is a natural clay that derives its red hue from its concentration of iron oxides. Its color can range from orange-red to reddish-brown, depending on the level of minerals present. With a fine and soft texture, it applies easily to the skin, often found in powder form, ready to be mixed with other ingredients to create masks or skincare products.In addition to iron oxides, it contains minerals such as copper, zinc, magnesium, and calcium, providing beneficial nutritive properties for the skin.
