Kaolin Clay- A Mineral for Keeping

Is your skin dry and sensitive and the bentonite clay too harsh for it? here we bring to you something gentler, something softer and smoother to meet all your cosmetics goals. 

Kaolin Clay or China Clay is a clay that was first obtained or mined from a hill named “Kaoling” in China. While in China this clay was mostly used for making porcelain and also as a medicine for treating diarrhea, today, it is among the gentlest clay used in skin care. It is white in colour with a very soft texture. Depending upon the different minerals present in it, it can also be greenish or pinkish in colour, though the one which is white is said to be purer and better. It is rich in a mineral named as “Kaolinite.” Kaolin clay has a neutral pH and is rich in silica dioxide. These properties mean that it is gentle on the skin while making it soft and healthy. But that is just a brief, for Kaolin is beneficial in cosmetics in several ways. Some of them are:

1. Tooth Cleanser: Kaolin is a popular ingredient in tooth cleansing powder because of its ability to polish and hence whiten the appearance of the teeth. Additionally, because it is abundant in minerals, it can also become a way of remineralizing and strengthening the teeth. Most importantly, it is a completely natural source. 
2. Cleanses Hair: Kaolin clay being gentle benefits dry, brittle hair by cleansing it of all the dirt, impurities and oil without stripping off the natural oils. It also strengthens the roots while improving the blood circulation in the scalp. 
3. Deodorant: Kaolin can detox the underarms to stop odour-causing impurities without using any harsh chemicals. It hence also works as a natural deodorant. 
4. Exfoliating and the toning of the skin: Kaolin clay cleans the skin of all the dirt, pollution, grime and bacteria without clogging the skin pores and causing breakouts. It also removes off all the dead skin cells without causing any redness or irritation. Additionally, when used regularly, through its stimulation of the skin cells, it also brightens and tones the skin. 
5. Helps to control the oiliness and sooth the rashes: Kaolin Clay can remove excess sebum from the face. It has the properties of clearing the skin pores without getting rid of the natural oils which are good for the skin. Additionally, through its mild healing properties it can also calm the skin down immediately in case of bug bites or itchy rashes, hence providing temporary relief.
