Cosmetic benefits of black mud

It is worth to note that our black mud contains the highest amounts of organic material and the smallest amount of inorganic material.

Humic acid provides hydrogen bonding and has a chelating action – thereby bonding to heavy metals which are often found in our everyday environmental pollution - and have been found to promote the transformation of epidermal cells ^{REF 394} and also has excellent free-radical scavenging ability – this helps to prevent premature aging from damage caused by free radicals. ^{REF 395 – 406}

Our black mud is also the smoothest mud of all, since there is no evidence of crystalline structures, which is due to the fact that it consist mostly of decomposed organic material.

From all the muds it also has the best moisturizing rate on the skin and also positively affects the skin surface by making it more even and smooth, as can be seen in the photos below.
