Minimum Shelf Life: Indefinite
Rose clay, also known as pink kaolin, is a kaolinite clay beautifully colored pink due to the naturally unique iron oxide content. Our rose clay is sourced and mined in the moist climate region of the United States. It is then naturally dried and milled to retain the unique mineral profile only found in Rose Clay — quartz, mica, feldspar, illite, and montmorillonite. This mineral content prevents Rose Clay from over-drying the skin, which can occur in other kaolin type of clays if not formulated correctly.
Rose clay is a soft, earthy, medium-weight powder. It is considered mild but offers gentle cleansing and exfoliating actions ideal for normal to dry skin types. Rose clay creates a smoothing and softening appearance, making the skin look even and more youthful. Rose clay falls under the skincare categories of anti-aging, balancing, smoothing, and revitalizing. Other benefits include improving skin circulation, detoxifying the epidermis, and rejuvenating skin’s complexion. Rose clay also enhances a formula’s sensorial profile by increasing silkiness, slip, and absorbency in personal care products.
Rose clay has a variety of uses from purifying and refining pores to exfoliating and balancing the skin. Since rose clay prevents drying out the skin, we recommend its usage with mature skincare focused on firming and regeneration:
