Australian Pink Clay
Our pure Australian pink clay is a blend of kaolin white clay and red clays, and is a good allrounder for all skin types. Our Australian pink clay is cleansing, brightening detoxifying and provides gentle exfoliation. It comes in a reusable glass jar and is a great gift for teens. To make a face mask, simply mix a small amount of clay with a small amount of distilled water to form a paste. Avoid using metal utensils as this reduces the effectiveness of the clay.
