Recreation Africa

Mud as a form of skin care was adopted by the ancients after paying careful attention to the activities of the animals, especially elephants. 

They noticed how these great creatures would roll around in certain areas in order to cover themselves with this reddish clay dust.
They also noticed how protected the animals were from the sun, heat and all the nasty bush pests, as well as how healthy their skins were.

The clever ancients began applying this magic mud to their own skins and the rest, as they say, is history!
The Muti Mud ritual has survived through the ages and is still prescribed by African healers as a skin treatment today.

Muti Mud clay is located in the oldest volcanic mountain range known to man.
This area of South Africa was recently proclaimed as an ancestral Heritage site and has been home to many well-known African healers.
Sangomas still pass through the region to gain knowledge and experience and to source the herbs, plants and Muti Mud. Many African tribes still buy this mud from traditional healers and they not only use it on their bodies for healing and protection, but the women in particular, can often be seen wearing Muti Mud as make-up on their faces.

Thanks to volcanic deposits which occurred millions of years ago, this amazing mud contains many minerals, including manganese, iron, copper, calcium and zinc. When combined with other herbal ingredients and essential oils, Muti Mud penetrates the skin, leaving it silky soft, moisturised and energised.

Products available for purchase include Muti Mud oil and Muti Mud scrub.
