Argiletz was founded in 1953

based on Jean Heitz’s strong conviction
clay is a rich, roble material offering a wide array of beneficial effects to humans. The whole story started years ago during the Second World War through her mother’s gentle, saving gestures. In the woods from the Jura, she used to treat the Resistance fighters thanks to the potent healing properties of green illite clay, a soothing remedy known since the Ancient times that she could easily hide in her bag.

She passes on her gestures and secrets to her sonwho develops clay-basedtreatments,pastes and poultices.

As a true pioneer, together with his wife Nadia, Jean Heitz expands the Argiletz range of products: he elaborates new, easier and ergonomic uses within everyone’s means; he modernizes the manufacturing processes and innovates; he implements high-quality control standards. The family business becomes a key player in the therapeutic use of clay.

Sun drying
Many companies use different kinds of energy to dry their raw materials further discharging CO2 emissions. For 50 000 tons to be dried, they need 18 800 mwh/year of gas generating 1 000 tons of CO2 per year. For the past 60 years, Argiletz has used the sun to dry over 100 000 tons of green clay.

 

Standards and certifications
In 2007, ARGILETZ Laboratory is the first company of natural, organic products to obtain the Standard ISO 9001. This standard guarantees the entire traceability of the quality process and the full satisfaction of its customers. In 2013, ARGILETZ Laboratory obtained the standard ISO 22716 corresponding to the GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) for the cosmetic industry.
