Provisional scaffold. This page was created automatically on 2026-09-10 so that an ingested source could route to it. Aliases, category, and the contamination profile have not yet been populated. Content below is minimal until a synthesis pass consolidates the literature for this ingredient.

Reason: Nkosi and Thembane measured red and white mineral clays sold for direct topical use at Durban Berea Market.

Triggering source: Physical, chemical and biological characteristics of clays from Durban (South Africa) for applications in cosmetics

Verified source scope

Physical, chemical and biological characteristics of clays from Durban (South Africa) for applications in cosmetics measures two red/white market clays sold for topical use in Durban, South Africa. Results describe prepared dry material; analytical sensitivity, dermal availability and wider market prevalence are unresolved. The ingredient contamination profile remains pending synthesis.

Literature scope

The literature corpus for this ingredient is currently thin. Sources route here as ingest proceeds; once enough sources accumulate per the Part 9 synthesis trigger (n_studies ≥ 2 per metal), the synthesis pass will populate the contamination profile.
