Kaolin
Kaolin
Products Benefits
Especially beneficial for oily, blemished skin, Kaolin is able to absorb excess sebum from the skin and can help improve the appearance of enlarged pores. It is renowned for its soothing properties.
Product Background & Information
Kaolinite is a naturally occurring mineral. Kaolin is formed when anhydrous aluminium silicates, which are found in feldspar rich rocks, like granite, are altered by weathering and hydrothermal processes. The process which converted the hard granite into the soft matrix found in kaolin pits is known as ‘kaolinisation’. The quartz and mica of the granite remain relatively unchanged, whilst the feldspar is transformed into kaolinite. Our kaolin is produced in Cornwall, England, from naturally occuring mineral deposits.
