Soft, soothing, absorbent

Also known as kaolinite, white clay is the gentlest of all clays. Fine, light, and creamy, it is especially suited for sensitive and delicate skin. It is valued for its soothing, purifying, and softening properties. Its use dates back to antiquity, when it was already prized for its cosmetic and medicinal benefits.

Cosmetic indications

White clay is ideal for fragile, dry, reactive, or uncomfortable skin. It cleanses gently without aggression, leaving the skin supple and satiny. It is also recommended for dry or brittle hair, to which it restores vitality and softness. In loose powder form, it is used as a base in mineral makeup.

Specific components and properties

Mainly composed of silica and aluminum, white clay has a moderate absorbing power, making it well tolerated even by sensitive skin. It also contains calcium and magnesium, which enhance its remineralizing properties. Its particular fineness provides a delicate mattifying effect, ideal for facial care.
