About This Ingredient
With its naturally warm golden hue and exceptionally fine texture, this gentle mineral clay helps create formulations that leave skin feeling clean, soft, and refreshed while beautifully complementing botanicals chosen for brighter-looking skin.
Sunflower Yellow Kaolin Clay is a naturally occurring mineral clay that has been carefully refined into a cosmetic-grade powder suitable for skincare. Within skincare formulations, it provides light oil absorption, helps lift away surface impurities, and contributes a silky, luxurious texture that blends beautifully with botanical powders.
Like other cosmetic kaolin clays, Sunflower Yellow Kaolin Clay is composed primarily of the naturally occurring mineral kaolinite. Its extremely fine particle size allows it to gently adsorb excess surface oil, impurities, and environmental debris while remaining significantly less absorbent than stronger cosmetic clays.
