GREEN CLAY from SICILY:
ARGITAL GREEN CLAY is extracted from a cave not far from the Mediterranean sea in the deep south of Sicily, in an area which is clean, wind-swept and sunny almost all year round.
It is rich in life-giving forces and warm energy absorbed from the sun during the drying process.
Its age, between 6 and 16 million years, situates in a geological period during which the Earth was particularly full of vital forces, beneficial forces that ARGITAL GREEN CLAY has kept intact throughout the centuries.
In order to be used during the whole year, ARGITAL GREEN CLAY is extracted, sun-dried and stored during the summer time when solar power is stronger and more intense. Thanks to this enormous quantity of light and heat, ARGITAL MARINE GREEN CLAY boasts an extraordinary richness.
The unique properties of clay make it ideal as a body modeling agent and as a natural anti-ageing product.

MINERAL ANAYLSIS
The principal mineral present in ARGITAL GREEN CLAY are: SMECTITES, ILLITES, CHLORITE, KAOLINITE, DOLOMITE, CALCITE, QUARTZ, FELDSPAR.
Cationic exchange capability: 41.6 meq/100gr. This value denotes a good clay’s osmotic activity.
Ph: 8.00 slightly basic.
A UNIQUE CLAY FOR MANY GOOD REASONS:
ARGITAL GREEN CLAY is a NATURAL REMEDY containing bivalent iron, a younger more effective iron, that gives the greenish color to the clay, different from the red clays that instead contain trivalent iron.
Our bodies are able to assimilate only bivalent iron, and for this reason ARGITAL has chosen this clay as the basis of its green clay products.
ARGITAL GREEN CLAY is particularly active due to its MARINE ORIGIN and richness in mineral salts and oligoelements.
Clay is a source of well-being for mankind, the flower of the mineral kingdom, and, like all flowers, lives in the sphere of light and is a bearer of solar forces.
The plasticity of this MARINE GREEN CLAY gives the skin and the hair a particular sense of softness and elasticity, and the presence of silica irradiates a light that regenerates and tones the skin and the hair.
