Kaolin clay is the most gentle among all the other types of clays used in skin care. Kaolin clay is white and has a very soft texture. It is rich in “Kaolinite,” a type of mineral.
Although it is usually white, it may also come in different colors (mainly pinkish and greenish), depending on the type of other minerals present in that clay. The whiter the clay, the purer and better it is.
