Russian medics prefer to use Rapan Blue clay when treating children, the elderly and patients weakened by illness, since it has a milder action on the body than Rapan Mud and Yellow Clay. It can be safely used both by professionals and at home.

Generally, Russian medics classify the strength of action of the Rapan range in the following order: the blue clay (mildest action); yellow clay (stronger); the mud (strongest effect, probably due to the highest content of organic matter in it). Blue clay is more suitable for dry, sensitive and mature skin types, thanks to its subtle action on the skin.
