Kaolin clay, aka white cosmetic clay is one of the most versatile clays, and mildest of all cosmetic clays.  It is commonly found in skin care preparations and cosmetics because of its gentle nature, mineral content, absorbent properties, and ability to “fix” scents. Kaolin clay is made up of fine clay particles, and has a lightweight fluffy consistency.  This clay is more widely used than any other cosmetic clay, and is frequently found in powders, body packs, skin care products, deodorants, soaps, scrubs, poultices, cosmetics, facial masks, and toiletries. This clay will gently draw impurities from the skin without removing natural oils while simultaneously exfoliating, cleansing, and stimulating circulation.  White clay is suitable for all skin types, whether it be oily, blemish prone, normal, sensitive, dry, or mature skin. 

Taken internally, Kaolin Clay can be mixed with herbal teas, vinegars or oils rather than water. Kaolin Clay is also used in natural, organic farming to prevent certain pests from feeding on crops. Active Compounds: Kaolinite silica, iron, magnesium, calcium, sodium, zinc, minerals.

Instructions
Baths:  Add 2-3 ounces of clay to your bath water, and thoroughly mix in.  Soak and enjoy.  Feel free to add essential oils or an herbal infusion to enrich the experience.
Body Packs:  Add one part clay to three parts water or until the desired consistency is reached.  Mix thoroughly to an even paste, and then apply to skin area.
Facial Masks:  Mix a small amount with water until a smooth paste is obtained.  Apply a thin layer of the paste to your face.  Leave for 10 - 15 minutes or until dried before rinsing with warm water.  If you have dry or sensitive skin, you may rinse the treatment off after 5 minutes, before it is completely dried.  All skin types may use an herbal infusion or flower waters instead of water to increase the healing action, or may add a small amount of essential oil to the clay mixture.  In addition, those with normal-dry skin may use honey, yogurt, cream, milk, or vegetable glycerin instead of water, or can add pureed avocado, cucumber, or a few drops of a carrier oil (such as Jojoba oil) to the mixture.  Those with oily skin may add Witch Hazel extract, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, or an egg white to the clay mixture.  Those with acne prone skin can add vinegar or lemon juice to the mixture, and 1-2 drops of Tea Tree or Lavender essential oil.
First Aid: Mix a small amount of clay with water, aloe vera gel, or flower water, and stir until a smooth paste is achieved.  Apply directly to cuts, minor burns, stings, bites, or rashes.
Poultice: Add one part clay to three parts water or until you reach desired consistency, mix thoroughly to an even paste. Spread paste onto a piece of gauze and apply directly to the affected area, securing with a bandage. Leave in place for up to 2 hours but do not allow the paste to dry. Discard the poultice and re-apply a fresh one if needed
