Earth's Living Clay | Calcium Bentonite Clay | Montmorillonite

With so much information and misinformation on the Internet about various types of clay, it’s important to know how to choose the best clay for individual use. Read more about how to compare clays. Two important pieces of information to consider when comparing clays are 1) mineral analysis and 2) microbial analysis.

Both of these types of analyses are conducted by laboratories. A mineral analysis reports on the various elements and their percentages in a given clay sample. A microbial analysis reports on specific contaminants such s e. coli, salmonella, yeast and mold found in a given clay sample. For this reason, we consider the microbial report equally if not more important than the mineral analysis. To ensure the clay being used is pristine and contaminant-free, we recommend asking for this information before using a particular vendor’s product. This page contains both types of reports as well as the Material Safety Data Sheet for our clay.
