For generations, clay has been an integral part of daily skincare routines. Naturally rich in minerals, it is valued for its absorbent and adsorbentproperties, which help capture excess sebum and certain impurities while respecting the balance of the skin and scalp. At Cattier, clay is used in a simple and sensory approach to care: listening to the body's needs, respecting its rhythm, and choosing the most appropriate gesture for the moment.
Clay Poultices
Ready-to-use clay, in a tube or jar, makes it easy to create body poultices. Applied in a layer of varying thickness, it conforms to the skin in a gesture inherited from traditional uses of clay. This ritual is particularly appreciated after physical exertionor during times when the body feels the need to slow down and relax. The fresh texture of the clay provides an immediate feeling of comfortand transforms the application into a true moment of well-being.
Clay Scalp Masks
Clay also has a place in hair rituals. Our ready-to-use green clays can be used as a mask on the scalp to help absorb excess sebum and gently purify. For sensitive scalps, powdered white clay can be used to make gentler homemade masks. Mixed with water or a hydrosol, it forms a supple and malleable paste that helps cleanse the scalp without aggressing it. Depending on the needs, these masks can be used before shampooing, as a one-off gesture to restore a feeling of freshness and balance to the scalp.
Clay Toothpastes
Combined with natural active ingredients and essential oils such as mint, lemon, anise, or propolis, clay accompanies the daily brushing motion with gentleness and effectiveness. It is particularly appreciated in oral care for its remineralizing properties, which help preserve daily oral balance and comfort.
Clay Hand Creams
White clay also finds its place in hand care. Selected for its fineness and softness, it is incorporated into formulas designed to care for the skin daily. Combined with other natural ingredients, it helps provide a pleasant texture and a comforting moment of care. Easy to use, clay hand creams accompany everyday gestures and help preserve the skin's feeling of comfort.
