During the age of the dinosaurs a vast inland sea existed in central Utah. As the Sundance Sea receded, it left behind a rich deposit of minerals perfectly balanced by nature. This treasure, the origin of Redmond salt, was preserved in its crystallized state by a blanket of volcanic ash. It comes to your horse in the same unpolluted and unrefined state it exists underground.  

Our bentonite clay first formed when a volcano erupted and dropped ash into the ancient Sundance Sea. As the waters dried up, the thick layer of ash on the sea floor weathered into a finely aged bentonite known for its incredible healing and detoxifying properties. It is the foundation of our digestive supplements and topical poultices.
