Argiletz: Natural Clay for Body Care, Facial Care, and Wellness

Argiletz – Natural clay for health and well-being

Founded in 1953 by Jean Heitz, the French brand Argiletz is a pioneer in the therapeutic and cosmetic use of 100% natural clay. Inspired by his mother, who treated members of the Resistance with green clay during World War II, Jean Heitz passed on his deep conviction regarding the benefits of this mineral through products that are gentle on the skin, the body, and the environment.

To this day, Argiletz remains a family-owned business committed to quality, sustainability, and natural ingredients. Thanks to its expert artisanal and industrial processes, Argiletz clay is harvested, sun-dried, and then packaged in various forms to address dermatological, joint, oral, and digestive needs.

A French clay that is pure, active, and certified

Argiletz selects clays sourced from French quarries. They are rich in essential minerals: silica, magnesium, calcium, iron, potassium, manganese, and more. Each clay is non-ionized, preservative-free, not tested on animals, and naturally sun-dried to preserve the concentration of its active ingredients.

Certified to ISO 9001 (quality) and ISO 22716 (good manufacturing practices for cosmetics), Argiletz has established itself as a leader in natural clay-based skincare, offering effective, safe products that are both health-conscious and environmentally friendly.

A wide range of clays for multiple uses

The Argiletz laboratory uses different varieties of clay, depending on their properties:
