Kaolin Clay – High Purity White | Gentle & Balancing

Kaolin Clay (High Purity White) is one of the most commonly used and gentle cosmetic clays available. With its ultra-fine particle size and smooth texture, it’s ideal for normal, dry, and sensitive skin. Unlike other clays that can overdraw oils, kaolin gently absorbs impurities while maintaining the skin’s natural moisture balance.

This naturally occurring mineral clay is highly valued as a thickening, mattifying, and skin-conditioning agent. Its soothing nature makes it suitable for facial masks, bath bombs, cleansers, and even toothpaste and hair products. Kaolin helps calm irritation, balance sebum production, and refine the appearance of pores — leaving skin soft, refreshed, and renewed.
