Kaolin is a naturally-occurring soft clay that is rich in the mineral kaolinite. It can be a wide range of colors, including white, yellow, red, and dark brown. Kaolin Clay is often found in cosmetics because it is very gentle, even on sensitive skin. This also makes it ideal as a face mask. Here are some of the many benefits:

1. Cleanses and exfoliates
Kaolin Clay removes debris and dead skin cells from the surface of the skin. It sinks deeply into the pores to pull out any impurities. This will help prevent blackheads and pimples, and keep your skin looking clean and fresh.
2. Absorbs excess oil
Applying a Kaolin Clay mask can help your face be oil-free.
3. Reduces sebum production
Consistent application will help prevent oily skin and all the problems that come with it.
4. Blending
Kaolin Clay can be blended with essential oils and other fresh ingredients to leave the skin with a clean and fresh feeling. After the Kaolin Clay cleanses and exfoliates the skin, the essential oils and other ingredients can do their job, providing additional skin benefits.
5. Improves blood circulation to the face
Good blood circulation is essential for healthy looking skin. This is because when more oxygen goes to the face, more nutrients are delivered to the skin cells. When the skin cells regenerate more easily, your face will look younger.
6. Friendly to sensitive skin
Kaolin Clay is a great choice for those with sensitive skin because of its mild properties. It is very unlikely that it can cause any adverse reaction to the skin.
7. Provides nutrients
Kaolin Clay contains many nutrients that are essential in a skin care treatment. These nutrients are delivered to the skin after it is clean and exfoliated.
