Kaolin clay, also known as white clay or Chinese clay, primarily consists of the mineral kaolinite. It is most often white in colour, but it can also be coloured depending on the minerals with which it is enriched. It has a very gentle and smooth texture intended for normal, oily and combination skin. It nourishes and soothes, absorbs excess sebum, and prevents the appearance of acne. It has a neutral pH value, so it is suitable for sensitive skin care. It is rich in numerous trace elements such as zinc, magnesium, and silicon dioxide, which are of great importance in the care of all skin types. It has mild anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and medicinal benefits, which is why it can be used for acne and dry skin conditions, as well as for rashes and eczema. It can be found in many cosmetic products, toothpastes, shampoos and hair conditioners.
