Comments: Super gritty. I've never purchased a clay that doesn't end up smooth once water is added.

FNWL Response: Hi Cc, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. Our French Black Clay is characterized by a very fine particle size and soft texture in its dry form. When moistened, the clay can retain a very slight natural grittiness due to its mineral composition. This is a normal characteristic and does not indicate a defect in the clay. For professional assistance regarding our cosmetic clays and their texture, we warmly welcome you to contact our customer care team at productsupport@fromnaturewithlove.com or by calling (800) 520-2060 / (203) 702-2500.
