Kaolin description

Kaolin (white clay) is a fantastic, mild mineral clay that is perfect for balancing and refreshing. In shampoos for oily hair, kaolin is a real star. It effectively absorbs excess sebum and oil from the scalp without drying out the skin or irritating hair follicles, helping hair stay clean and fluffy longer and giving a natural lift from the roots. Generally in skincare, kaolin is widely used in face masks and cleansers because it stimulates circulation, exfoliates very gently, and deeply cleanses pores, making it ideal even for the most sensitive skin.
