Clay mask paste alternative

Posted by Chrisj on June 4, 2015 at 12:58 pm

Hi All.

Clay has the health risk of hazardous silica dust. Is there a substance that mimics clay mask paste - sets hard against the skin when dry and is easy to apply and remove with water - but doesn’t have that risk; and if so what is it? Thanks!

You can buy cosmetic grade clay that has no silica dust at all.

The alternatives are much more expensive.

Thanks Bobz! As you can tell, I’m ignorant about chemistry. I’ve done Google searches on this but couldn’t find any answers.

Also, I’d appreciate any input on whether there is a clay that doesn’t dry out beard hair when smothered over it?
