group of industrial minerals with the chemical composition Al2Si2O5(OH)4. It
is a layered silicate mineral. The name "kaolin" is derived from "Gaoling"
Kaolinite has a low shrink–swell capacity and a low cation-exchange
capacity. It is a soft, earthy, white mineral, produced by the chemical
weathering of aluminium silicateminerals like feldspar. Commercial grades of
kaolin are supplied and transported as dry powder, semi-dry noodle, or
liquid slurry.
Kaolin Clay, sometimes called White or China Clay,  is a highly adsorbent clay
that cleanses the skin. It's especially beneficial for those with sensitive
skin and wonderful in use as a clay poultice, mud pack, facial mask and even in
some lotion and cleanser recipes. It gently exfoliates and cleanses resulting
in younger looking skin. Clays used in water based products are best preserved
with broad spectrum preservatives such as Essential's Preservative Blend.White
Kaolin Clay is a cosmetic clay used in cold process soap, bath bombs and masks.
This clay can be used on normal, dry and sensitive skin because it does not
draw oils from the skin. It is also a very mild clay that works as a thickening
agent. Kaolin clay is one of the most common cosmetic clays!
