Kaolin Clay - 1KG

Kaolin Clay is a soft, ultra-fine mineral clay used in masks, soaps, bath products, and cosmetics where a gentler clay texture is preferred. It is valued for its mild oil-absorbing action, silky slip, and natural white to off-white colour. Unlike more aggressive clays, kaolin is often chosen when a softer-feeling mineral ingredient is wanted in frequent-use products.

It is a powder ingredient for wash-off or formulation use rather than a ready-made mask. Why we love it: We choose to stock Kaolin Clay because it is one of the most versatile mineral staples in DIY beauty making. It brings smoothness, creaminess, and a softer clay feel to a wide range of products, which makes it especially useful for makers who want one easy-to-work-with clay across several applications.
