Description
Two of the world's most remarkable clays, blended for the bath.
Inland Sea Bath Blend combines our signature Green Desert Calcium Bentonite with USP Grade Sodium Bentonite. The sodium bentonite swells and disperses, which keeps the clay suspended in the water rather than settling to the bottom of the tub. The result is the ultimate full-body clay soak.*
What is in the blend
Green Desert Calcium Bentonite. Our completely natural montmorillonite, mined in a pristine location just outside Death Valley National Park in the Mojave Desert. A magnesium-rich, volcanic-origin clay, hand selected from the pure vein deep within the earth, sun dried, and milled to +325 mesh.
USP Grade Sodium Bentonite. Excellent sorption properties, both absorption and adsorption, which is why it swells so much and why it disperses so well through a full bath.
Traditionally used for
Reducing inflammation, increasing circulation, soothing sore muscles and body aches, and easing oily skin and body acne.*

How it is processed
Not chemically processed, heat treated, or cleaned in any way. These come from two of the rarest clay deposits in the world, and unlike many other clays, they are clean enough that they have often been used straight out of the ground.
How to use
For a full bath. Add three to four cups of the bath blend to a bowl and mix thoroughly with water until smooth and creamy. Add the mixture slowly to a warm bath for the best dispersion. Soak for 20 to 30 minutes or longer.
For a foot soak. Use one to two cups, mixed the same way.
Pairs well with Dead Sea Salt and Magnesium Chloride Flakes.
Bulk sizes
Available in 6 lbs, 15 lbs, and 40 lbs. Commonly sold for up to $60 per pound elsewhere, we offer it in bulk sizes for better value in both cost and shipping.

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.

Safety & GRAS
Therapeutic clays have been used by the people of the world since before recorded history. In the United States, therapeutic clays were used for their medicinal value by the medical profession prior to the formation of the Food and Drug Administration. To this day, bentonite still enjoys FDA GRAS status (generally regarded as safe).
However, federal law does state that no medical claims may be made about substances that are not approved by the FDA. We can therefore make no medical claims, nor may we recommend clay use for any medical condition. Since we are primarily a wholesale distribution company, we do not label our products for human or animal use.
There have been many books written about the value of therapeutic clays, and we strongly encourage those interested to spend some time researching the wonderful world of clay therapeutics. You'll be glad that you did!

§ 184.1155 Bentonite.
(a) Bentonite (Al2O34SiO2nH2O, CAS Reg. No. 1302–78–9) is principally a colloidal hydrated aluminum silicate. Bentonite contains varying quantities of iron, alkalies, and alkaline earths in the commercial products. Depending on the cations present, natural deposits of bentonite range in color from white to gray, yellow, green, or blue. Bentonite's fine particles provide large total surface area and, hence, pronounced adsorptive capability.
(b) The ingredient must be of a purity suitable for its intended use.
(c) In accordance with § 184.1(b)(1), the ingredient is used in food with no limitation other than current good manufacturing practice. The affirmation of this ingredient as generally recognized as safe (GRAS) as a direct human food ingredient is based upon the following current good manufacturing practice conditions of use:
(1) The ingredient is used as a processing aid as defined in § 170.3(o)(24) of this chapter.
(2) The ingredient is used in food at levels not to exceed current good manufacturing practice. Current good manufacturing practice results in no significant residue in foods.
(d) Prior sanctions for this ingredient different from the uses established in this section do not exist or have been waived.
