Clay has been used for skin care since the dawn of humankind. And for good reason -- it works! Kaolin, in particular, is a great clay for dry and sensitive skin as it is mild and pH neutral. It is a healing clay that detoxes and clears pores, absorbs excess oil, and gently exfoliates. This clay is also known as China clay (due to its use in porcelain production), kaolinite, arcilla blanca, arcilla para la cara, or white clay.
Our cosmetic Kaolin Clay is mined in England and processed to remove heavy metals naturally present in clays. Pure Body Natural's kaolin clay is lab tested to ensure that it does not contain measurable levels of lead and other contaminants. Kaolin Clay has hundreds of uses in skin cleansers, facial masks, scrubs, and soap making.
Here are a few of our favorite recipes:
