Lava Love Healing Clay Bath Products Review

July 8, 2015 by Juliann

Who would have thought that lava could equate with beauty? I mean, lava flowing from a volcano can be picturesque, but I would have never even imagined that hardened lava could contain substances that could make my skin beautiful!  

Nutritionist Elisabeth Dunham founded  Lava Love LLC with Bend, Oregon, business partner Jennifer Clifton in order to share these incredibly healing yet gentle products with the public. Lava Love contains three of Mother Earth’s best detoxifying substances – all originating from lava:

Bentonite is a type of absorbent and detoxifying clay from volcanic ash that binds strongly to toxins such as heavy metals and other environmental pollutants.

Zeolite is a type of volcanic mineral with a cage-like molecular structure that also binds to toxins and removes them from the surface of skin.
Pumice is a volcanic rock that consists of highly vesicular rough textured volcanic glass, which sometimes contain crystals. It acts as an exfoliator and removes dead skin cells.
These two ladies combined these detoxifying substances – each with a different mechanism for pulling toxins from the skin – to create three products:
Their signature Lava Love “Volcano” soap that exfoliates with the perfect amount of finely ground pumice, detoxifies and scrubs away impurities from the surface of the skin. It is simply amazing!


A facial mask that can draw out impurities such as blackheads. It can also be used as a poultice placed directly on sore joints or over the liver or tummy for a strong detox.

A detoxifying bath powder that clears chemicals from tap water in the tub and gives the body a gentle cleanse by drawing toxins through the pores of the skin. You leave your bath feeling grounded and relaxed. 

Dunham, a writer and nutritionist who lives in Portland, Oregon, developed the Lava Love line in 2014 after she discovered the healing power of clay after being diagnosed with chronic Lyme disease. While others diagnosed with the same incapacitating illness did not seem to recover, she healed herself over time by changing her diet and using clay baths to detoxify and regain her immune function. Once she began to heal, she went from bedridden to working full time in a matter of months.

Today, Dunham is a certified nutrition consultant who works with clients throughout the United States, Europe and Asia helping them regain and improve their health using the same gentle system. A former staff writer for major regional and national news organizations, she now writes the Healthy Home column for Oregon Home magazine. She is also the author of the guide “Lava Love: How Mother Earth Can Heal Your Body” due out in 2015.  

My thoughts: I received a bar of Lava Love’s “Volcano” soap and a package of their detoxifying bath powder to review. I use the amazing soap in my shower every night. I actually use it from head to toe right before my final rinse. It has a very soothing a vanilla/peppermint fragrance and I love it! It is wonderful for exfoliating my skin from my face to the bottoms of my feet.
I love the bath powder, too. I love to just rub it onto my skin and relax in the tub. I especially like to rub it on my stomach area to reduce bloating. It really works! I feel amazingly relaxed after my bath.

About This Blog

Juliann, founder of Beautiful Moms

Welcome to Beautiful Moms!

Hi! I'm Juliann, wife of 33 years to Jon, a mom to four amazing children, and a proud grandma to five precious little ones. I live in Oregon.

When I started Beautiful Moms in 2008, my goal was to connect with other moms who were also raising young children. It became a creative outlet for me to share my thoughts on motherhood, review products I loved, and work with brands that help make family life a little easier.

More importantly, I wanted moms to feel seen. It's so easy to lose ourselves in the demands of caring for everyone else and forget that our own well-being matters, too. Every mom deserves to feel beautiful, valued, and appreciated, no matter what stage of motherhood she's in.

Over the years, Beautiful Moms has evolved right along with me. My children are now all grown up, and I'm blessed to be a grandma.

Life changes so quickly

One thing that hasn't changed is my passion for encouraging other moms—it's simply expanded to include every season of motherhood—from pregnancy and baby's first years to raising teens, becoming an empty nester, navigating healthy aging, and everything in between.


Myelie, contributor at Beautiful Moms

I'm excited to have my daughter, Myelie, join the Beautiful Moms team as a new contributor. As the mom of a newborn and a busy toddler, she brings a fresh perspective on modern motherhood.

She lives in Alabama with her military husband, so she also understands the unique challenges of military life, frequent moves, and building a happy home wherever life takes you.
