Yellow Kaolin Clay is a mild clay, which can be used on most sensitive skin types. It is believed to stimulate blood circulation while gently exfoliating and cleansing the skin. This clay is also used to draw out impurities helping to reduce blemishes and maintain a healthy appearance. Since it is so mild in nature, it will not excessively remove natural oil.
As helpful support for cell regeneration at the skin’s deepest level, carrot seed oil has a profound effect on skin health and is often considered an essential component of many skincare formulations. Carrot seed oil can be helpful for supporting and repairing ageing or environmentally stressed skin.
