Our Kaolin Clay (montmorillonite) is a naturally white clay made up mostly of silica and aluminum oxide and has a balanced pH. Also known as “China Clay”, Kaolin Clay gets its name from the high ridge near Jingdezhen in China’s Jiang Xi Province known as Kau-ling (Gaoling). Deposits of Kaolin Clay may have been mined as long as 2,200 years ago. Today, it is mined worldwide, with Starwest’s Kaolin Clay originating from deposits found in the United States. It is commonly used in pharmaceutical and cosmetic products, such as creams, lotions, powders, and color applications.
