WHAT IS WHITE CLAY AND WHAT ARE THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF IT

(Health info)

Also known as Kaolin clay, white clay is a very fine, soft and light powder with naturally absorbent properties. White clay has a long history of use in different spheres. Away from internal and external bodily use, the clay is also known to have been one of the first clays used in pottery by our ancestors.

White clay is a great option for almost all skin types, working really well for normal skin types (skin that is neither oily nor dry), as well as mature skin. Kaolin gently cleanses and pulls impurities from the pores without causing redness. It also works as a very mild exfoliant, gently removing dead and dry skin cells as well as reducing the size of your pores. 

Here are some beneficial properties of white clay for the skin, hair and teeth:

- Helps with oily skin by absorbing the excess oils in the pores
