I just learned that bentonite clay has lead in it! And, that would scientifically make sense because it's volcanic ash. This is concerning, pregnancy or not. Obviously, this would put an embryo, fetus, or baby at risk should the mother use bentonite clays during pregnancy or lactation. Umm is this ever considered in the skincare industry?
