White clay, also called China clay, is the most commonly found clay in skin care preparations, powders, deodorants, and cosmetics. It is a fine, fluffy, soft white clay that is easily mixed with water to apply to the face or body. White clay is the mildest of all clays and can be used on dry, sensitive, and normal skin.

To use, mix clay with purified water, or floral water, to make a paste. Apply to your face or body, allow to dry, and rinse off. Great mixed with bath salts and creams along with herbs, milk powders, and essential oils. Exercise caution as clays may stain fabric.
