Kaolin

Kaolin is a clay mineral that is used in skincare for cleaning the skin and drawing out impurities and toxins. Rich in minerals such as silicon, aluminium, magnesium and iron, which are known to nourish and protect the skin. It absorbs sebum and prevents pore clogging, as well as having anti-bacterial properties, making it a useful product for the treatment of acne. Kaolin is also a gentle exfoliator and may be found in masks, scrubs, exfoliators or cleansers. It is less suitable for those with dry skin.
