Our Clays and Salts

Where our clays some from 

Our Green Desert and Red Desert calcium bentonite come from an Amargosian deposit in the Mojave Desert, just outside Death Valley National Park. We own the deposit. We mine it, mill it, and ship it from our own facility in Victorville, California.

That means there is no broker in the middle and no third-party supplier whose quality we have to take on faith. Every order traces back to a specific place in the desert.

How it is processed

Clay is hand selected directly from the pure vein, sun dried, and milled to +325 mesh. It is not chemically processed, heat treated, or cleaned in any way. This is one of the rarest clay deposits in the world, and the material comes out of the ground clean enough that it has often been used straight from the vein.

What we source

Our salts and specialty clays come from elsewhere: magnesium chloride from Japan, pink salt from the Himalaya, salt from the Dead Sea, and illite from France. We buy the highest grade fair trade material available and name the origin on every product page.
