SUMMARY
I) The origin of white Kaolin clay
White Clay, known scientifically as kaolinite, is much more than just a powder. Its story begins millennia ago, in the depths of the Earth. Formed from the decay and erosion of silica-rich rocks, it is nature's gift loaded with beneficial minerals such as calcium.
Discovered and used in China for the first time, it takes its name “Kaolin” from the Gaoling hill. This clay first played a crucial role in the manufacture of porcelain, thanks to its purity and resistance to heat. It was then used for the manufacture of paper, glass and even cosmetics.
Over time, its virtues have crossed borders, offering its unique benefits to the whole world. Today, deposits exist in different countries, the leading producing country remains the United States ahead of Brazil, but France also has numerous Kaolin quarries such as in Morbihan, in Charente-Maritime or even in Saint-Yrieix for the production of Limoges porcelain.
The purity of white clay, its natural origin and its richness in minerals such as silica, calcium, magnesium and potassium make it a valuable asset in the world of skin care. It is now sold alone to make your own product or integrated into the formulas of your favorite treatments to provide your skin with all its properties.
II) Its Properties and Benefits
Indeed, kaolinite is distinguished by its unique composition which gives it numerous benefits . First of all, it is the ally of skin prone to oiliness and/or imperfections thanks to its absorbent, purifying and detoxifying action which helps to reduce shine. It is ideal for fighting against impurities and toxins accumulated on the epidermis and tightening pores.
