Kaolin Clay Powder (White)

Description

Highlights:
Kaolin clay is commonly used in skin care products due to its ability to absorb oil and smooth skin. Because kaolin clay is gentler on the skin than other types of clay, you can also use it as an exfoliant.

Kaolin, also known as white clay or china clay, is a soft clay that’s been used in China for centuries to create porcelain products. It’s also used widely in skin care products, toothpastes, and hair products.

Kaolin clay is considered to be one of the gentlest facial clays. It has kaolinite, a mineral that consists of layered silicate. While the mineral is found all over the world, it has been mined at the Kao-ling mountain (China) since ages.

Kaolin clay is suitable for almost all types of skin, especially sensitive skin. It mostly comes in white colour, but can also be pink, green or brown. Experts suggest that whiter the colour of Kaolin clay, the better its quality is.

Clay face masks that contain kaolin are thought to have several benefits, such as preventing acne, managing dry skin, and absorbing excess oil or sebum. Kaolin is also thought to be the mildest and most gentle clay used in skin care.

It may offer mild anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and healing benefits,
Because of its anti-inflammatory benefits, kaolin clay may be beneficial in treating rashes and irritation, but more research is needed to prove its effectiveness.

KAOLIN CLAY FOR SKIN TYPES:

Sensitive and dry skin

Kaolin clay is fairly gentle and safe to use on sensitive skin. Still, it shouldn’t be used if you have dry skin. “Kaolin clay can be excessively drying, and therefore irritating, for already dry skin,”
For sensitive skin types, it’s always best to do a patch test on your neck or on the inside of your wrist to see how your skin reacts before applying it to your face.

Oily and acne-prone skin

While a kaolin clay face mask isn’t ideal for dry skin, it may help those with oily skin and those who are acne-prone.

“Kaolin absorbs sebum and prevents pore clogging. It’s used to draw out impurities and toxins from the pores. [It then] clears the skin of excess oil, dirt, and pollution without causing any redness or irritation. Because of its antibacterial properties, kaolin clay may be useful in treating acne, too.

The minerals in kaolin clay can remove oils, secretions, and contaminants from the skin. They serve as cleansing and refreshing agents by absorbing moisture and impurities and by reducing blemishes.

Pro-aging support clay may increase collagen fibers, which may account for its benefits.
