The term “clay” refers to natural materials mined from the earth’s surface that exist as ancient deposits in rock formations or accumulated volcanic ash. The texture and properties of clay depends on its origin, which also determines its composition. These clays are not the modeling kind found in hobby and craft stores that you can add water to and mold; they are cosmetic clays intended for use on the skin and, in some cases, as a hair treatment.
