Where does it come from?
Kaolin is mined from the earth, primarily from regions where it is found in abundant natural deposits, such as China, Brazil, the United States, and the United Kingdom. It is extracted and then processed to remove impurities, resulting in a refined, pure clay powder that is suitable for use in skincare products.
