Kaolin

What It Does

Naturally colored, straight from the earth! Our Brazil Clays are kaolin clays that are naturally pigmented due to mineral elements present in the earth—no artificial colorants or dyes are used. Each Brazil Clays color has its own unique mineral profile, giving each one different skin or hair benefits.

Purple Earth is a kaolin rich in magnesium, which helps promote cell maintenance, providing a more youthful appearance of skin. It has a deep purple, earthy tone. It additionally helps thicken emulsions, helps products glide more smoothly on skin, and adds natural color.

Why Choose Kaolin

Kaolin is superior to bentonite, illite or montomorillonite clays because it’s more gentle on skin. Other clays have a pH between 7-10, depending on the source of the clay. Ouch! Brazil Clays have a pH of 4-5, which is closer to skin’s natural pH. This makes kaolin more gentle on skin.

Kaolin clay also absorbs less water from skin than other clays, leaving skin feeling less dry and stripped.

How It's Made

Brazil Clays are sustainably mined from the earth in southern Brazil. Its unique characteristics are preserved during extraction through a selective process where the region’s biodiversity is respected and maintained.

MAKE IT YOURS

exfoliating body bar

One of our favorite weekly rituals is to exfoliate the skin on our bodies. If you don't like the oily or greasy residue that sugar-based cleansers leave on skin, an exfoliating body bar might just be for you.
Infused with naturally-colored kaolin clay, Brazil Clays Purple Earth provides a rich magnesium source to skin without drying it out, while Strawberry Exfoliant exfoliates dead skin with its smooth edges.

Directions

Ensure all equipment is cleaned and sanitized. Wear proper safety equipment, including gloves and a respiratory mask that can filter our small particulate as Creamy Coconut Surfactant generates a lot of dust.

Add ingredients 1-7 in the top portion of a double boiler and begin heating to 175ºF/80ºC with gentle stirring. When at temperature and everything is homogenous, add in items 8-10 and continue stirring. Turn off heat and begin cooling to 150ºF/65ºC.

Pour into silicone molds of your choosing and allow to cool to room temperature.
