Escentia Kaolin Clay - 1KG

Escentia Kaolin Clay is a naturally light-coloured mineral clay used widely in DIY cosmetic recipes where a soft, absorbent powder is wanted. It is especially popular in face masks, body masks, soaps, bath bombs, and powdered cosmetic blends because it helps absorb excess oil and reduce shine. This is an inorganic mineral ingredient, not a ready-to-use mask or cleanser.

It is also known as white clay or kaolin white. Why we love it: Kaolin clay is one of those simple, dependable formulation staples that works across all kinds of DIY projects without feeling complicated. It is easy to use, versatile, and especially lovely when you want a clay that feels gentler and more refined in skin and bath formulations.

Q: Why is the colour sometimes more off-white than bright white? A: Kaolin is a natural mineral ingredient, so the shade can vary slightly from white to off-white without affecting its general cosmetic usefulness.
