Chocolate Clay Attributes:

• Accelerates cell re-structuring and has an anti-aging action thanks to its richness in silicon and iron content
• It stimulates oxygenation and firming of tissues to help prevent aging signals
• The particle size gives a high specific surface with a high absorption capacity, a very useful property for oily and impure skin
• Can be mixed with water and applied directly onto the skin increasing body temperature and allowing better penetration of active ingredient
