Did you know that the Venetian lagoon is the largest water system and marshland in Europe? 5 times the size of Paris!

This unique 2-in-1 facial cleanser combines the detoxifying, balancing and purifying properties of the natural ingredients Bentonite and Kaolin. This pairing does a great job of balancing the strengths of each clay. We get the creamy consistency of Kaolin and the extra-strength pore-emptying goodness of bentonite. It helps to improve the overall transformation of your skin cells while increasing moisture and reducing oil production.

Caranto is the miracle stuff. Bentonite clay is easily a few million years old. Unlike other clays, it's volcanic ash. Washed into the lagoon from the Alps over thousands of years and then mixed with seawater, algae, salt and sludge. The mixture of grey clay from the mountains and the yellow clay from the Adriatic Sea makes the Caranto unique. HOWEVER, our Caranto does not come directly from the lagoon. We rebuild it. The main ingredient, the grey bentonite, comes from Slovenia, not far from the sources of the river Sile, which then flows into the lagoon. The yellow kaolin comes from France because it is the purest there. But it is the combination that gives the best possible effect.

Bentonite + Kaolin = Caranto

La Serenissma - For centuries, the rulers of Venice or La Serenissima, the most serene, have accomplished gigantic achievements by diverting rivers and digging canals to protect the lagoon––first from the water masses of the rivers from the Alps and then from flooding by the Adriatic Sea. The construction of the Mose is only the latest act in the transformation of the Venetian lagoon into the largest water system and marshland in Europe.
What everyone knows of Venice is only a small part. But after years of fear of siltation, there is no longer enough mud because the rivers have too little water in summer.
