BENTONITE FOR PHARMACEUTICALS AND COSMETICS

Thanks to its detoxifying and enveloping properties, bentonite, known in medicine as smectite, has found use in the production of pharmaceuticals and dietary supplements.

Non-toxicity, chemical inertness, as well as the ability to absorb all types of toxins, including allergens and heavy metals, make it possible to use bentonite as a sorbent for poisoning, diarrhea, heartburn and other gastrointestinal disorders, as well as to relieve hangover symptoms. In 2020, we launched our own line of dietary supplements, sorbents with special properties for various applications.

In conditions of total technogenic pollution, there are great prospects for the use of bentonite-based sorbents for detoxification among workers in hazardous industries, including those associated with the nuclear industry, as well as residents of ecologically unfavorable areas and large industrial zones. The use of intestinal sorbent will reduce the toxic load, stimulate the natural detoxification systems, and accelerate the removal of radionuclides from the body.

Bentonite is actively used for detox and in cosmetics: masks, shampoos, shower gels and even toothpastes. Cosmetics with bentonite narrows pores, used as a healing, whitening and cleansing agent. In decorative cosmetics, bentonite is added to matte and improve adhesion.
