Kaolin is a pure natural mineral (anhydrous aluminum silicate) composed of kaolinite with low iron content. It is an off-white, odorless, fine powder that is insoluble in water. It naturally has absorbent properties and is rich in natural minerals, including silica, magnesium, and calcium, and is considered medicinal clay.
White clay cleanses, mattifies, and deodorizes the skin. Exfoliating granules will lift and remove dry or dead skin cells, leaving skin looking and feeling more radiant.
It helps lift impurities from the pores. First, the clay enters the pores; as the kaolin dries, it shrinks, pulling dirt and impurities away from the skin. In addition, it can deliver micronutrients and ions, resulting in a hydrating effect after treatment.
Kaolin has a robust covering ability, can absorb excess sebum and help refine pores, and has soothing properties (ideal for sensitive skin). It is often used in face powders, facemasks, bath powders, foundation cake makeup, dry rouges, deodorants, and soaps at use levels of 4-20%.
