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.

How to Use Redmond Bentonite Clay for a Poultice

1. Mix one part Redmond Clay powder with two parts water. 2. Stir until you achieve a smooth, creamy paste. 3. Apply the paste directly to the insect bite or irritated area. 4. Leave on for 15–30 minutes or until dry. 5. Rinse gently with warm water and pat dry. Repeat as needed to soothe discomfort and support skin healing.
