Ultra-Gentle | Purifying | Brightening | 100% Natural Origin
White Clay — or Kaolin — is the softest and purest of all clays. Composed solely of natural kaolin and rich in essential minerals, it is prized for its extraordinary gentleness and ability to soothe, purify, and restore balance to even the most sensitive skin.
Used for centuries in natural beauty rituals, white clay helps to reduce redness, calm irritation, and refine the complexion, leaving skin smooth, luminous, and evenly toned. Its fine, velvety texture makes it an ideal base for homemade masks, cleansers, and gentle exfoliating treatments.
How to Use
-
Face Mask: Mix 2–3 teaspoons of clay with a little water, floral water, or plant milk until a smooth paste forms. Apply to clean skin and leave on for 5–10 minutes, ensuring the clay doesn’t fully dry. Rinse with warm water.
-
Soothing Bath: Add 2–3 tablespoons to a warm bath for soft, soothed skin.
-
Hair & Scalp: Mix with warm water or a few drops of oil to create a gentle purifying mask.

What is it?
Kaolin — also known as White Clay — is one of the mildest natural clays and has been prized since antiquity for its purity, softness, and mineral richness. It is rich in silica and trace elements that help revitalise and remineralise the skin.
Unlike harsher clays, Kaolin does not strip or irritate. Instead, it absorbs excess oils and impurities while preserving natural moisture, making it suitable for all skin types, especially sensitive, dry, and mature.
In body care, it is used to soften and soothe irritated or sun-exposed skin, gently polish dull areas, and refine texture. It is also ideal for scalp masks, where it cleanses without over-drying or disturbing the natural balance.
