Bare Essentials Living - White Kaolin Clay Powder (12oz) 100% Natural White Powdered Clay for Seed Bombs, White Clay Mask, Chafing Body Powder, Soap, Bath Bomb, Deodorant, Kaolin Clay for Gardening

I’m very happy with this white kaolin clay. The powder is very fine, easy to mix, and works great for DIY face masks. It leaves my skin feeling soft, smooth, and refreshed without drying it out. The packaging was secure, and the product arrived in excellent condition. I would definitely purchase it again and recommend it to anyone looking for a high-quality kaolin clay.

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.

Tried to capture a decent image, to demonstrate the initial blending/adding, following w the flawless blending & consistency. I blended 1st one w Apple cider vinegar (including Mother). Blending was seamlessly simple, using ceramic bowl & wooden spoon. I don't have the great skin that I used to. I'm 56, work outdoors, offlake in Virginia. I constantly have wind, rain, sun, dirt, pollen, you name it, cloaking my poor skin. I used a mix of Bare Essentials Living White Kaolin Clay Powder, w apple cider vinegar. This product is impressively clean, untainted & well packaged. They even give you a durable quality zip bag to store product in, along w a hard card copy of business info, along w tips on using. They were definitely right about using sparingly. A little most definitely a long way. Left thinly applied mask on face/chest for 15 minutes. Mask was easy to apply. Clings well, no dripping, w even drying. I rinsed off w warm water, followed by cool rinse & blotted w extra virgin olive oil. This stuff is way more effective than I expected! Left my face feeling so clean, clear of all the contaminants I get so often thru work & play. Face is noticeably more taught, w less visible lines, feeling & looking more radiant. I'm impressed!!! I ordered this for my teenage son as well. His complexion is beginning to show signs of a typical teen in high school. I applied same mix for my son, as fir myself. He wasn't easy to convince, but conceded to trying. ....WOW!! It was like night & day w him, clearing up blackheads around nose/cheek area, as well as literally shrinking into near nothingness, any areas lurking to create embarrassing blemishes. I'm sold, my teenage son is sold. Stuff is amazing and I'll most definitely be returning for more of this and other products from this seller. Rare to have things go so well. Recommend all the way! 👍 ♥

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.

This clay has been wonderful for my skin. I make a paste mask for my face once a week and it's been wonderful for hydrating and shrinking my pores. I was at my wits end with the pores on my face. I couldn't find anything that helped. I have combination skin so when I found this I was so happy with the results.

I'm hoping that this is worth the initial hassle. I took one star off because the package arrived, exploded all over the bag and other products that I ordered, and I recall another review that said the same thing. I thought it was probably a fluke, but the packaging wasn't sealed properly to begin with, and the outer zipper bag that they put it in, had holes punched in it, so the clay went everywhere anyways. Fix the packaging problem, and this could be a solid 5 star product. Great price, quick delivery, very fine white clay powder just terrible packaging.

Great

found the perfect “micro‑dose” that gives me the effect without ever looking powdered. It’s one of those rare products where less really is more.
