Kaolin Clay, also known as China Clay, is a naturally occurring aluminosilicate mineral prized for its fine particle size, chemical stability, and non-toxicity.It is widely used in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, industrial applications, and agriculture. Its properties as a filler, thickener, absorbent, and rheology modifier make it a highly versatile material.Kaolin is safe, environmentally friendly, and thermally stable, making it suitable for products that require long-term stability, smooth texture, and color enhancement.
High Purity & Chemical Stability: Low levels of heavy metals, consistent quality, thermally and chemically inert.
Fine Particle Size & High Surface Area: Improves smoothness, rheology, and opacity in creams, powders, coatings, and paper.
Excellent Absorbent & Oil Control: Controls moisture, absorbs excess oils, ideal for cosmetics and medicinal pastes.
Eco-Friendly & Non-Toxic: Naturally derived and biodegradable; safe for food, personal care, and pharmaceutical use.
