White cosmetic clay, also known as white kaolin clay, is a very fine and light clay that has natural absorbency properties. White cosmetic clay is found in virtually all powdered and dry cosmetics and most wet cosmetics, including soaps, scrubs, poultices, deodorants, facial powders and masks. It is the mildest of all clays and is suitable for people with sensitive skin. It helps stimulate circulation to the skin while gently exfoliating and cleansing it. White cosmetic clay is also used in paper making, paint, fiberglass, porcelains and ceramics, china and toothpaste.
