Unheated Morélie Clay, 750g Bag
We have been using clay for over twenty years with our six children and discovered Les Argiles du Soleil a few years ago. They are part of our family and travel health kit. We decided to reference and offer you these clays which are truly top quality, in France and perhaps in the world, as we are particularly well-positioned in France for clays.
Specifically, Morélie is the white clay of the range: a superfine kaolinite, cream-colored, the softest and lightest of our clays. It's the one we choose for a gentle face mask, for sensitive or reactive skin, and in powder form for changing babies, instead of talc. Honestly, if you're starting with clay, it's the right entry point.

◻️ Les Argiles du Soleil stand out from the clays typically found on the market and in pharmacies because they are:
- raw without transformation,
- unheated, simply sun-dried,
- unwashed,
- non-ionized,
- not tested on animals.
They thus retain all their natural properties and their entire exchange surface.
◻️ Morélie clay is the least dense of our clays: its superfine powder disperses very easily in water, without lumps.
Externally, Morélie clay is a soft and light clay that cleanses and revitalizes the complexion because it is a superfine kaolinite clay in powder form. It is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. It can be used in a wide range of natural care products. Its cream color matches the softness of its texture. Its appearance is airy when dry and silky when wet.
This small company located in Mons in the Gard works exclusively with clays from Vaucluse and Drôme, providing sun-dried clays without any thermal intervention of absolutely exceptional quality. Les Argiles du Soleil are exported worldwide and are recommended by Dr. Jade Allègre, THE French clay specialist.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Morélie clay?
Morélie clay is a white kaolinite clay, reduced to superfine powder, cream-colored. It is harvested in Vaucluse and Drôme by Les Argiles du Soleil, simply sun-dried, without heating, washing, or ionization. Its appearance is airy when dry and silky when wet.
Is Morélie clay suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, Morélie clay is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. It is a kaolinite, the softest clay family: it cleanses the complexion without stripping it. For oily or blemished skin, a green clay (illite or montmorillonite), more absorbent, is often more suitable.
How to prepare a face mask with Morélie clay?
Pour one to two tablespoons of Morélie clay into a glass, wood, or ceramic bowl, then gradually add water until you get a smooth paste. Avoid metal utensils. Apply a thick layer on a clean face and rinse with lukewarm water before the clay dries completely. Recipe ideas are detailed in our clay mask recipes.
White Morélie clay or green clay: which to choose?
White Morélie clay is the softest and least dense: it is suitable for dry, sensitive, or reactive skin and for baby care. Green clays, illite and montmorillonite, are more absorbent and are usually chosen for combination to oily skin. Our article Clay and Skin Type helps make the right choice.
Can Morélie clay be used for baby changing?
Yes, superfine white clay like Morélie is used in powder form on baby's bottom during changing, as a natural alternative to talc. Simply sprinkle a thin layer on clean, dry skin. The steps and precautions are detailed in our baby clay guide.
Can Morélie clay be taken internally?
Biovie is not authorized to advise taking clay internally. If you are considering this use, first consult a healthcare professional, especially in cases of pregnancy, breastfeeding, medical treatment, or for a child. Dr. Jade Allègre's work, cited in the Supply Chain tab, documents traditional uses of clay.
Why choose unheated clay?
Unheated clay, simply sun-dried, has not undergone thermal treatment, washing, or ionization. It thus retains its natural properties and its entire exchange surface, unlike many commercially available clays dried in ovens. This is the choice made by Les Argiles du Soleil for their entire range.
