Kaolin is a clay. It is used for oil control and to help minimize pores. Like other clays, kaolin has the ability to absorb excess sebum or oil. This can help clean out pores and mattify the skin.

Some types of kaolin may have exfoliating properties. When water is added to kaolin, it becomes a paste with small abrasive particles.

Most kaolin is a white color, but may be pink/orange/red depending on where it comes from.

The name 'kaolin' comes from a Chinese village named 'Gaoling'. Kaolin clay comes from rocks rich in kaolinite. Kaolinite, the mineral, has a silicate layered structure. Kaolinite is formed from chemical weathering of aluminum siilicate minerals.

Besides skincare, kaolin is commonly used to make glossy paper, in ceramics, toothpaste, and as medicine to soothe stomach issues.

Best clay mask I tried. It's really effective and does a throughly deep clean into the pores. I have very oily acne prone skin trough the year and using this product on a regular basis made my skin smoother, more balanced and healthier....

Best clay mask I tried. It's really effective and does a throughly deep clean into the pores. I have very oily acne prone skin trough the year and using this product on a regular basis made my skin smoother, more balanced and healthier. It's a strong clay, I had to start using it slowly for my skin to adjust. It's almost creamy and moisturizing. As a general application technique, I always find helpful to use two layers of clay to get all of it's benefits while minimizing potential dryness.
