Kaolin, also known as white clay, is a remarkably gentle purifying ingredient that respects the skin’s balance. Less absorbent than other clays, it provides a deep yet non-aggressive cleanse — making it perfect for sensitive, fragile, or dehydrated skin needing a soft detox.
Extracted from silica-rich rocks, kaolin has been used for centuries for its soothing, purifying, and healing properties. Let’s explore what makes it so valuable in modern skincare.
Kaolin is a natural white clay rich in kaolinite, a mineral from the silicate family. Its name comes from Kao-Ling, a Chinese region where it was historically used in traditional medicine and porcelain making.
Low in minerals and alkaline by nature, kaolin is the softest clay available — ideal even for highly reactive skin.
Kaolin removes impurities and excess sebum without drying out the skin or disrupting the skin’s natural barrier.
It leaves the skin clean and matte, reducing shine without a tight or dry feeling.
Thanks to its softness, kaolin is suitable for sensitive, redness-prone, or reactive skin types.
It gently refines the skin’s texture and provides a fresh, soft feel after use.
Kaolin purifies and mattifies without irritation — the perfect clay for cocooning care rituals.

It’s also used on sensitive scalps or in baby care formulations.

Skin professionals recommend kaolin in purifying routines for sensitive skin, or as a follow-up to stronger exfoliating treatments. It is often used in spas and facial treatments to achieve a soft, “baby-skin” effect.
It’s also valued in scalp care for relieving itchiness or flaking.
Kaolin is a purifying, mattifying, and ultra-gentle clay ideal for cleansing without stripping the skin. It respects the most delicate skin while delivering freshness, clarity, and softness. A must-have for cocooning routines focused on balance and comfort.
