    There are actually several different types of clay that derive from volcanic ash, Bentonite being one of them.  Bentonite is derived from volcanic ash … it’s really a distinction without much of a difference.

    Bentonite is a clay that is derived when volcanic ash decays/breaks down naturally, over decades. Volcanic ash is the raw material.

    Another way of looking at it is that bentonite is a chemically modified form of volcanic ash. They are not interchangeable ingredients.
