Why Choose Bentonite Clay for Insect Bites?
Bentonite clay is a natural absorbent made from volcanic ash that has been used for centuries to support skin health. Its fine powder texture allows it to act as a gentle exfoliant and absorb excess oils and impurities from the skin. Scientific studies and traditional use suggest bentonite clay can:
- Absorb sebum and toxins that may irritate skin
- Support skin’s natural defenses and promote repair
- Battle bacteria that can worsen skin irritation
- Soothe itchy, inflamed skin caused by insect bites or allergic reactions
By mixing Redmond Bentonite Clay with water into a paste, you create a poultice that can be applied to insect bites to help calm itching and reduce inflammation naturally.
