Easy Clay Set “Yuki”

Yes! All organic ingredients in our products are easily biodegradable. The mineral components are environmentally friendly. Leftover product (excluding plastic containers and paper packaging) is suitable for composting and can be disposed of in organic waste.

The main source of formaldehyde in cosmetics and wet-formulated toys comes from various preservatives. In our modeling clay, we use potassium sorbate — a very mild and safe preservative that poses no risk of formaldehyde or parabens. To make our clay even safer, we also avoid the use of alum due to widespread concerns about aluminum salts. Additionally, we refrain from using synthetic azo and phthalocyanine pigments, even those of cosmetic or food-grade quality — they simply don’t belong in natural products!

Our organic modeling clay has a shelf life of at least 24 months from the production date when unopened. You can find the best-before date on the bottom left of the back of the cardboard packaging and on the bottom of each clay cup.

To avoid the introduction of bacteria and ensure the longest possible shelf life after opening, we recommend not putting used clay back into the cup with unused clay. This way, you can reseal the unused clay, protect it from drying out, and store it for next time – ideally in the cardboard box at room temperature.

No. When developing our organic modeling clay, we deliberately chose not to use alum, as it is a chemical that we believe has no place in children’s toys. Alum is a crystalline substance with mild disinfectant properties, often used to protect modeling clay from microbial growth. However, alum has an astringent effect on skin and mucous membranes.

Easy modeling clay contains gluten. Otherwise, our clay is free from the most common* allergens typically found in food.
However, please keep in mind that allergic reactions can occur to virtually any ingredient — whether natural or synthetic.

* Free from soy, peanuts and tree nuts, palm oil, milk, fish, and eggs.

Don’t worry. Children are curious and love to put things in their mouths. We know that, and that’s exactly why our neogrün organic modeling clay is made with natural ingredients.

In our experience, small amounts are usually unproblematic. To help the clay move smoothly through the digestive tract and to balance the higher salt content, your child should drink plenty of fluids afterwards.

However, if your child experiences persistent stomach pain, nausea, or vomiting, has swallowed a large amount, or is allergic to certain ingredients (e.g., wheat or colorants), it’s a good idea to contact a doctor or poison control center. Otherwise, simply keep an eye on your child – in most cases, nothing more will happen.

Yes, that is completely normal and intentional. Modeling clay is generally not meant to be eaten. To protect children, we are legally required to add a bitter-tasting substance to our products. This reliably discourages children from swallowing the clay.

Don’t worry – in most cases, it’s not mold! neogrün Easy Modeling Clay contains natural preservatives that help keep it fresh. The white spots are usually caused by salt coming to the surface or slight drying – this is completely harmless and does not affect the quality of the clay. If you look closely, you can even see the fine salt crystals!

Our organic modeling clay has a long shelf life, but if you notice any of the following, it’s best to replace it:
– An unpleasant smell
– Fuzzy green or black spots
– A very sticky or crumbly texture

Tip: Store the modeling clay in an airtight container to keep it soft and ready to play for a long time.
