For adults: Montmorillonite is a natural clay commonly found in face masks and cleansers. It is generally considered low risk for adults when used on normal, intact skin.
Use products made for adults and follow the product instructions. Do a small patch test on your inner forearm before using on your face, especially if you have sensitive skin. Avoid using it on cuts, sores, or very irritated skin. Prefer brands that share safety or sourcing information about their ingredients.
There are some gaps in the safety data and industry reviewers recommend limits on how it’s made and used (source: Cosmetic Ingredient Review).
