Say hello to the Cleansing Clay from Kaeng Raeng, a dramatic pitch-black facial mask. Created to purify and revitalize skin, it utilizes naturally detoxifying ingredients for congested skin.
The Cleansing Clay from Kaeng Raeng is $25 for a 2oz container. Find it here.
Cleansing Clay is meant to be used on clean, dry skin once a week. It may make skin momentarily red after washing it off, but this disappears quickly. However, for that reason, I use this mask only at night. It can be used all over the face, or as a spot treatment.
Ingredients: water, bentonite clay, french green clay, activated charcoal, himalayan pink salt, kelp powder, aloe vera gel, calendula, honeysuckle absolute essential oil, vanilla essential oil, green tea extract, gardenia absolute essential oil, rosemary extract, benzoin resinoid.

Activated charcoal is a powerful detoxifying ingredient. It’s been used for thousands of years around the world as a remedy for poisoning, digestive complaints, and insect bites. It doesn’t absorb toxic substances in the body and on the skin; instead, it operates through the process of adsorption. Adsorption is a chemical reaction wherein elements bind to a surface, in this case, dirt, the microscopic jagged surface of activated charcoal.
Activated charcoal may stain fabrics, so be cautious when washing this mask off.
Stir before use, and refrigerate for optimal shelf life.
