Kaolin clay

Kaolin Clay is a natural white clay used in cosmetics and industrial products. It helps absorb excess oil, gently cleans the skin, and improves product texture without drying the skin. Because it is very mild, it is suitable for sensitive, oily, and combination skin. Kaolin clay is commonly used in face masks, cleansers, soaps, scrubs, powders, and body care products. It is also used in industries like ceramics, paints, rubber, and coatings. Its fine texture and neutral colour make it a versatile and cost-effective ingredient.
