Kaolin for Cosmetics

UT-WHITE is a natural hydrous kaolin mineral used in personal care — valued for its gentle oil absorption, 96.6% brightness, and compatibility with a wide range of formulation systems.

Kaolin is a widely used mineral ingredient in personal care. UT-WHITE at D50 4.571 µm and 96.6% brightness is suited for clay-based face masks, body powders, foot powders, and soap bases — applications where its oil-absorbing clay structure, natural white color, and chemical inertness are the primary functional benefits. Its near-neutral pH (8.0) is compatible with most cosmetic formulation systems.

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

Performance Characteristics

Sebum Absorption

UT-WHITE's clay structure gently absorbs excess surface oil without stripping skin moisture — the core functional benefit in face masks for oily and combination skin.

pH Near-Neutral (8.0)

Near-neutral pH is within safe skin-contact range and is compatible with soap, lotion, and mask base formulations.

96.6% Brightness

Naturally white mineral that does not alter the color of cosmetic formulations — supports clean white appearance in body powders, soap bars, and mask bases.
