In skincare and soapmaking, it is the universal gentle clay, suitable for every skin type, including sensitive, dry, and mature skin that would find more absorbent clays too drying or stimulating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhite kaolin and standard kaolin are the same ingredient, kaolinite, differing only in refinement level. In our formulas, kaolin contributes slip, a refined lather texture, and mild absorbency without stripping. It is the clay we reach for when we want the sensory and textural benefits of clay without significant oil absorption.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow It Works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKaolin's relatively low absorbency compared to other clays means it cleanses gently without drawing excess moisture from the skin. It adds a silky, slip-enhancing quality to soap lather that makes the bar feel more luxurious during use. Its fine particle size contributes to a smooth, refined texture in finished formulas, and its natural white color can be used as a gentle base for other colorants or left pure for a clean, minimal aesthetic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSkin Character\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCharacter: Gently cleansing, slip-enhancing, universally gentle\u003cbr\u003eBest for: All skin types, sensitive and dry skin\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eYou can find Kaolin Clay in nearly all of our handmade soaps and some haircare bars.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFor external use only.
