New Zealand's One Stop Shop For All Your Soap & Candle Supplies!
And Much More...
Kaolin clay is the mildest of all clays and can be used in scrubs, masks, deodorants, poultices and soaps. It is particularly useful for oily and acne prone skin where it's drying and cleansing properties work well to help clear the skin. It gently removes toxins from the skin, drawing out dirt and bacteria from the skin while leaving the skin’s natural oils in tact.
Kaolin clay is a naturally occurring clay substance mostly found in soils that have developed from the chemical weathering of rocks in hot, moist climates.
Also called: China Clay, White Clay, White Cosmetic Clay, Hydrated Aluminum Silicate and Kaolinite Clay.
