In recent years we have adopted many of the best kept Asian beauty secrets. As steps in routines, for example: the Korean double cleansing. Or equipment: facial massage with gua sha is one of our favorites. Just as we have included skincare products that contain ancient ingredients from Asia, such as kaolin clay. This compound that soothes, eliminates impurities and renews the appearance of our skin, has found its way into the beauty routines of women with the porcelain skin that we admire so much. And if it wasn't present in yours until now, it will be.

Where does Kaolin clay come from?

It has its origin in China, and was discovered by the native women of Kaoling Hill for its wonderful properties. Initially its purposes were therapeutic but today it is one of the most used ingredients in natural cosmetics.

What is Kaolin clay?

It is a very pure clay, of great fineness and delicate white color, with an appearance similar to talc. Its texture makes it very manageable and although it is considered not aggressive for the skin, it is very effective.

Benefits of Kaolin clay

Sebum-regulating effect: exfoliates and removes impurities and dead skin cells.
Astringent power: revives oily skin and provides great hydration due to its ability to maintain moisture in the skin's mantle.
Soothes and nourishes: thanks to the large amount of minerals it contains in its structure.
