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.
