Kaolin for Cosmetics

Cosmetic products need fillers that are safe, soft, and functional. Harsh clays can dry out the skin too much or feel gritty.

Kaolin is the gentlest of all cosmetic clays. It effectively absorbs excess sebum (oil) and impurities from pores without stripping the skin's natural moisture barrier. In makeup, its fine particle size provides high coverage (opacity) and a silky, matte texture (slip) that helps products apply smoothly.

  • Gentle Oil Absorption (Detox)
  • Silky / Matte Texture (Slip)
  • Safe & Non-Toxic (Low Heavy Metals)
