This is Frontier’s double wall silverfoil pack. Some Frontier packs are double wall wax-lined paper.

Historically used by Native Americans for purification and healing.

Bentonite clay is a combination of montmorillonite (hydrous aluminous silicate) and volcanic ash.

This is cosmetic grade powdered clay. It is used to thicken lotions, to suspend makeup pigments, emulsify oils, and to absorb facial oil and reduce shine in makeup lotions, liquid makeup and facial masks.

It is greenish-gray, and is the most absorbent of the clays. Use for oily skin face masks to draw out impurities. Its 'slippery when wet' consistency makes it the ideal clay for shaving soaps. Use 1 TBSP per pound of soap. It is also useful as an oily hair and scalp treatment.
