I picked up some NOW European clay from Whole foods last night. It was either that or Aztec brand clay (which is betonite). I used some of this stuff last night, looks just like the QED stuff, but is available locally for $5 for 8ozs (dry). Should last a while. Has anyone used this? I'm sure it's not as good as QED, but want to make sure I was at least using the same kind of clay.
I picked some up at Whole Foods... but I'll have to order some from QED, either Whole Foods was out of the less expensive stuff, or they just decided to charge a lot for what I got
I got 8 ounces(dry) of NOW european clay at Whole foods for $6. Doubt it's as good as QED, but still seemed pretty good to me.
Just reading up on this topic, as I also for quite some time have wanted to try the green stuff. Anyway as a few of you already know of this place http://www.mountainroseherbs.com/clay/clay.html and they have quite a good write up on different types of clays and what each one is suited to use wise. I did email them asking which would suit my oily skin type, and they answered back advising that they as sellers are not in a position to advise on anything. But in the next paragraph did go on to say that plain old Fullers earth clays have the strongest pulling power for oily skin types. I thought if I'm going to buy I might get one of each, Fullers Earth, French Green clay, and Rhassoul clay, along with some Hydro-sols which they also sell. I figure Lavender and Lime hydro-sols. Has anyone dealt with this company, and what are their shipping rates like? Cheers John
Members on B&B have gotten very good results from them. I emailed them about acne and they told me the same thing about not being allowed to give medical advice. Still, they gave me these suggestions: Lavender and Lime oils or hydrosols are also good. A few drops in your French Green Clay or Fuller Earth's Clay should make a very potent facial concoction.
Thanks Telly, I would like to give them a whirl I think. Now I will have to check out the US postal service to see what costs for shipping to Oz with maybe 3 1/2lbs package. I did ask them if they would ship 1/2 lb lots but nah not interested. Cheers John
Just as an update, shipping rates for me to Oz from Moutain Herbs they want over $60 for a 3 1/2lb package, bit extreme I think cost more in shipping than the product itself. :mad: Cheers John
I own a horse equipment company. (Not my day job) We ship Western Show Horse Equipment worldwide. Fancy silver bridles, bits, halters, saddles and so on. We can't even ship a saddle to AU due to the prohibitive shipping cost for the customer. It's becoming more popular in AU.
That's very interesting, and yes the penny has just dropped, I can now work out what your nick means as in quarter horses do it all. I must be a Queenslander or something (sorry James only joking) We have a reputation here for good quarter horses, are they the same as the American quarter horse? Sorry I have got way of topic here. :signs080 Cheers John
Relaxing right now with a nice mask on. Then after I wash it off I will put a little Da Vinci water on. Then a glass of Johnnie Gold. This is exactly how the directions say to do it. Scotch is optional. Howzat? They might as well include it in the instructions
