What is KAOLIN used for?

The many benefits that kaolin clay offers make it a super ingredient in the world of skin care. However, it is also present in hair care and cosmetics.

Skin care: It has the ability to draw excess oil from the skin and exfoliate it to leave the surface clean and smooth. It is thus quite popular in skin care products like face masks. Kaolin clay also has soothing properties to reduce redness and irritation
Hair care: It helps in detoxifying the scalp. This ingredient is capable of lifting dirt and impurities from the scalp to leave it clean and healthy. Additionally, kaolin has the benefit of providing the necessary minerals naturally that the scalp may have been otherwise lacking
Cosmetics products: It is also present in cosmetics to give them a matte appearance and prevent unnecessary shine. Moreover, it allows the makeup to stay put longer as it can withstand humid conditions and perspiration. Kaolin clay is also a preservative that increases the shelf life of cosmetic products

Origin

Kaolin is a natural ingredient that occurs in the mineral, kaolinite. It is in the Kaoling hill where this mineral was first mined and hence the name. While Kaolinite is a white mineral, there are other minerals that are added to it in order to produce the Kaolin clay. Therefore, Kaolin ranges from white to yellowish in color.
