Bare Essentials Living - White Kaolin Clay Powder (12oz) 100% Natural White Powdered Clay for Seed Bombs, White Clay Mask, DIY Spa, Soap, Bath Bomb, Deodorant, Can be Used as Kaolin Clay for Gardening

I can use it for anything! I have been using clay toothpastes for years, and have mostly purchased them from nice companies (simply sooney is my fave) but I thought why not try on my own… I bought bentonite first, a very powerful clay, which works really well to balance oily skin, but for non oily folks like me it’s way too strong by itself. Then I got the kaolin clay! (By the way this is named for a province in china named Kao Lin.)Best odor remover (yes remover) for pits ever. Threw out my deodorants. Also prevents odor (but not sweat) in the armpits 😷, no matter what!!! It’s mixed with some water for that to form a light paste. If you have oily skin, a light brushing of dry powder gets rid of shine all day (I have test subjects!). Also, it really stops chafing if you’re like everyone else and your thighs rub. This is a pure and non-reactive substance, you may use it on intimate parts if you’re a sweaty person. Nice for a mask, much gentler. Brush lightly on lashes after mascara, no more raccoon eyes. This clay is so beyond DIY that even if you don’t make other products with it, buy it!! Reputable company, no contaminants, oh, and it takes away bad breath and morning breath with a 10 second gentle brushing. You need a sprinkle to do the job on your mouth, and one swipe and rub in the pits is all you need instead of deodorant.I will say that this is very fluffy, and it’s not good to breathe in clay, so take care. I like to put a few drops (as in 5) of peppermint for both pits and teeth. Who ever thought of minty fresh pits!You can mix this with bentonite clay for more absorption, but try a 25% bentonite and a 75% kaolin. This will last you the rest of your life, also. Guess it depends on how old you are… it lasts a very long time. Oh, and it makes the best paste hair products (you can mix it an oily base like cocoa butter or shea butter). I think I might be a fan.My husband has mixed this with sand and cocoa butter for a hair product, but he’s very odd.

I originally purchased White Kaolin Clay Powder for hair masks. I had read that the masks used once a week or even once every two weeks would help remove residual products from my hair leaving it shiny with a thicker feeling texture. It worked well and I really like the cleaner, thicker look.After seeing the results with my hair, I decided to read more about the clay’s benefits. After a small amount of research, I found articles about clay masks for skin. I decided to give one a try. I mixed the clay into a thick paste and applied it to my face. I set a timer for 7 minutes. I chose 7 minutes as I didn’t want to dry out my skin, the recommendation that I had read said 10 minutes but I tend to be cautious.After the 7 minutes, I rinsed off the clay. The difference in my skin was amazing. My skin was softened, clear and had an amazing texture/glow that wasn’t present before. The noticeable effects lasted several days. I am a 69 year old woman and I really wish I had known about this product when I was younger. Since the first application, I have done one more mask and it appears the effects may be cumulative but I really need several more applications before I can say that with confidence. I think it is important to use as a face mask once a week (or before a special occasion) due to the of risk drying out natural oils. I also plan to keep the time at 7 minutes for the same reason.I highly recommend trying this clay for both your hair and skin. The price point is good, especially considering the costs of skin/hair care products these days.Trust me, take care of your skin starting early. My aunt told me this years ago (her skin looked good until she passed at 96 years old) and it was absolutely one of the best pieces of advice that I have received.

I used this to create my own foundation using this and a few other products.This worked great to brighten the foundation. Because this isn’t traditional makeup it leaves me skin feeling much cleaner and happier.The color is bright white.The value for money is wonderful. I used very minimal of the product for the foundation I made, so a little goes a long way.

Great product. Using it in my pomade and maybe some other mixes!

Good value for the money. Works as a nice mask. Or you can make bath bombs out of it. You can also use it as a dusting on your roses to keep bugs off.

Bought this to mix with potting soil and make seed bombs. They harden just right. After a few days was able to throw seeds across water to place i wanted. Yeah I know it's for face. Maybe later.

Effective

This is the second time I have purchased this product in a week and it has been successful in creating a face mask, scented cream and skin soap and I intend to use it in all my formulations.Thank you
