The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Condition: Oily, problem skin in need of a strong clay mask to remove excess debris, build-up and dirt from pores, or skin in need of a natural detox to remove impurities.
Solution: Bentonite, also known as montmorillonite of fuller's earth, is a natural clay that's used as a facial mask to help remove impurities, excess oil, and dirt for healthy skin that's clean and clear of harmful debris. Historically used to maintain healthy skin tone and texture due to its high content of trace minerals, Bentonite Powder can also be used as a body mask to help dry up excess oil and remove impurities from other potential problem areas besides the face. Clays are a popular feature at many health spas today, and are widely used as a natural means to promote healthy, youthful-looking skin. This product should not be used on sensitive areas of the body.

For problem areas on the body you may need to double the amount used, depending on the surface area that needs to be covered. Follow the same application guidelines.

Bentonite clay is well known for its healing properties. This product is an excellent bentonite clay. The clay mixes well and makes a nice paste for external applications. Also, the loose, powdered form is the most economical buying choice. Essential information for those who are new to using bentonite clay: This particular product is sodium bentonite which is a "swelling" type clay. Although some people ingest sodium bentonite clay, sodium bentonite is primarily recommended for external use only. If you're interested in a bentonite clay for internal use, this is not your product. Look for calcium bentonite.

My functional doctor suggested drinking bentonite clay as a detox agent. After two attempts I needed to give up the effort. I am not sure if the problem had anything to do with the product or my own sensibilities, but the clay did not mix with water without clumping, despite rigorous shaking (not stirring!). This made it very difficult to get down without gagging. I plan to use the rest of the bottle in the bathtub and as facial masks.

So I decided to try bentonite clay after hearing good things about it. I followed the instructions, but the clay was still too thick and clumpy (probably fillers in it). It did not spread on skin smoothly. Too much fuss from trying to mix and use it.

I used this for my DIY deodorant recipe. It works well!! Just need to remember not to use metal spoon or container or stirrer.

To easily form a bentonite clay paste, just soak 1 part bentonite clay powder in about 3 parts water for 1 day. I like to add some activated charcoal to my bentonite clay paste, apply it all over my abdomen as well as my back, cover it with some kitchen towels and step inside a sauna for about 10-15 minutes. I'll come out with the cleanest, clearest skin ever and if I have any pimples they will be less inflamed after the session. I feel that when I use the sauna without this charcoal clay poultice, it just isn't as clarifying.
