INCI: Kaolin

Essentially Natural Kaolin Clay is a soft, fine mineral clay prized for its gentle, oil-absorbing action and silky slip. It helps reduce surface shine, refines the look of pores and leaves skin feeling smooth and comfortable. Mild enough for frequent use, it suits normal, dry, sensitive and mature skin types. In DIY projects it adds creaminess to soaps, structure to bath bombs and a natural white-to-off-white hue to cosmetics. Non-irradiated and low grit, it disperses easily for fuss-free mixing.

♡ Why we love it: It's the gentlest of the clays, so it's easy to customise for almost any skin type. The texture is ultra-fine and blends cleanly into masks, soaps and powders. It's a hardworking staple you'll reach for in everything from face masks to bath treats.

Sizes: 100g, 250g, 500g, 1kg, 5kg or 25kg.

Kaolin and Chamomile Mask

Chamomile is particularly soothing for hot, dry or irritated skin. It has a delicate lavender-ish scent and is cooling and calming. You can add in extras such as aloe vera, bulbinella or marshmallow root for additional soothing and healing properties.

2 T kaolin clay

3 T water or herbal infusion (you can make chamomile tea and use that)

2-3 drops chamomile essential oil

Optional: 1 teaspoon aloe vera powder / 1 teaspoon jojoba oil / 1 teaspoon marshmallow root powder / 1 teaspoon bulbinella extract

Thoroughly mix everything together, apply to clean skin and leave on for 10-15 minutes then rinse off with warm water and follow up with a moisturiser if necessary. You can find more fantastic mineral clay mask recipes on our blog.

Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture. Keep container tightly closed and use clean, dry utensils.
