I received this product earlier than what I had thought. The packaging was extremely secure, almost to the point that it was difficult to get it open. That's a good thing though. It came wrapped in layers of newspaper, my fiance and I had a kick out of browsing the pages and seeing how newspapers are set up in a different country. It was very neat. Anyway the clay itself is more gray than green so I was a bit worried that maybe there is something else in it? Or perhaps this is normal. I'm no expert on clay and this is my first time ever using it but boy does it work! My skin feels amazing, the mask gets extremely tight when it dries. I was hoping to start a clay regimen in the morning but the seller says to only use this clay externally, i'm taking their advice and purchasing a food grade clay for consumption and using this one strictly for cosmetic purposes. Green clay truly is mother nature at her best!

This isn't the green stuff I was expecting... it's greyish green and goes to brown when it's wet, but whatever. I'm not sure the color has much to do with anything, to be honest. Just means there's a slightly different mineral component. It does have a slightly, vaguely swampy smell, like what you'd expect from stuff dug up from a wet area. But my nose is hyper sensitive. My husband smelled nothing at all.This is not as super fine as I was expecting; I put it into a mason jar for storage and got some interesting sediment layers. I tried to steer the grittier parts to the parts that needed more grit, like my elbows. Yes, I put it on my elbows to help exfoliate. It's that good a price, I felt. I left the finer stuff in a mask (about a 1:1 water:clay ratio) on my face, neck and chest, and since about a teaspoon covered those areas and still had some left over, this will last a long time with once a week use.
The shipping can be a hassle. Apparently Homeland Security is on the lookout for natural health and beauty products that could possibly endanger, uh... the homeland's natural health and beauty product industry? No, wait, that can't be it... we don't have one of those... endanger, uh... I give up. I never got the first shipment because it was apparently confiscated by someone probably who said "Ooh, I've been meaning to try this stuff! Yoink!". I contacted the seller and was promptly sent another one.

Took a loooong time to arrive. I do have the patience of a gnat though. And it did have to travel across a large body of water. Also, to be fair, I knew right away it would not be a quick delivery. The shipment date when you order, etc, is pretty clear about that. So no problem there. Good service overall. It came packed ridiculously well. Better protected than Fort Knox. It took me awhile to break into it, lol.I will upload a photo for you of what I received. (stay tuned as I have never done this before and may be completely inept)
It is not silky smooth. It does have a bit of coarseness to it.
I sifted it and took comparison photos.
This will work fine for my intended use, which is body wraps. If you are looking for something that needs to be perfectly smooth and has very microscopic granules, you will need to sift it and maybe pulverize further to achieve that.
I took a tablespoon of the clay powder and added water to it to see if the graininess would resolve itself when wet. To some extent it did. There were actually a few tiny (really tiny) bits of sand that obviously did not dissolve. You would want to strain thru a very fine cloth or seive to remove them.
While the small grains might be problematic for some applications, this will work just fine for my intended use. Just keep in mind what your end result needs to be before purchasing. Super fine in this instance does not mean silky and soft like a really good baby powder. Then again, I am not a cosmetic scientist and this may be what super fine means in that industry.
Good luck with whatever fun project you are doing!Green clay is marvelous -amazing price as well. Shipping costs very reasonable and the product arrived much sooner than expected. It arrived intact and very secure. I have used the clay twice and my skin has responded very well both times.This green clay is of very high quality. Works great on exfoliating the skin. My wife and daughters love it.
