Reports earlier today, claiming that a Wicklow company had taken the U.S. by storm with a new body cleaning product using clay from the garden county, has sparked huge interest online..
The report claimed the company, Flair Pool, was behind the product, which combined a soft cleansing agent and essential minerals from the clay, which also acts as an exfoliator.
It went on to claim the US government was concerned that the use of clay in the product could be breaching import rules and had launched an investigation, which could scupper the growth of the Wicklow company.
