Clays are the principal constitutings of the terrestrial surface. They have an extremely important role for life on earth, for mankind and all nature.

The Mi Fido line, as all Argital products, is based on sundried green clay.

A unique clay. For many good reasons:

• It entirely comes from a cave in the extreme south of Sicily, in a clean, sunkissed and all year long ventilated place;
• In order to be used during the whole year , clay  is digged, sundried and stored during summer time when the solar power is stronger and more intense. Thanks to this abnormous quantity of light and heat, the clay boasts an extraordinary richness;
• Due to its marine origins it is particularly active, rich of mineral salts  and olig elements;
• Its age between 6 and 16 million years, situates it in a geological time in which Earth has been particularly full of vital forces, beneficial forces that our clay has kept intact throughout the time;
• It contains bivalent iron, which is a a younger and more effective and that also gives this greenish color to the clay, differently from the reddish clays that instead contain trivalent iron.

Argital’s clay, is kneaded with water only, it turns into a very beautifull green and shiny cream with a plastic consistence. Once the cream gets in touch with the skin you can feel a very pleasurable sensation of well- being.
