Bare Essentials LivingWhite Kaolin Clay Powder (2 lb) 100% Natural White Powdered Clay for Seed Bombs, White Clay Mask, DIY Spa, Soap, Bath Bomb, Deodorant, Can be Used as Kaolin Clay for Gardening

Let me start with... when I originally ordered this, it came shipped in the usual Amazon bubble wrap mailing envelope, which ended up cut open somehow, being held by the post office, necessitating a trip into town, and my subsequent refusal of the order. Not to be deterred, I quickly reordered it, realizing it was not the seller's fault. The second order was shipped in a sturdy paper envelope and arrived safely! I have now used the clay twice now, and I love it. I use it to make a clay mask for my hair, adding hair conditioner, drops of essential oil, a few drops of purple toning drops, and squalene oil, mixing it easily into a paste. The clay mixes easily, does not clump, and does a wonderful job of brightening my hair. Give it a try. It has many uses for skin and hair. It is very affordable and is half the price of what I used to buy and does the same quality job.

I have a small business as a soapmaker and needed some Kaolin clay. I have wholesalers I get many products from but I did not have 7-14 days to wait so I looked on Amazon and found this product is offered by another small business! I always try to support another small business when I can. It's just the right thing to do. I am so glad I found this company. The kaolin clay is fabulous and the packaging was really thick, durable, held all the fine powder within the bag. For extra precaution, it was then placed in a second bag in case of rough shipping after leaving the warehouse. I thought that was ingenious because the kaolin clay I normally get comes in a thin bag that's always intact but sometimes dusty. The packaging was top notch so they obviously made huge improvements. I will try to buy from this business again as I see they have other clays which my wholesaler does not always have in stock. or my business is too small to buy the large quantity requirement.Also as a newer small business, I look at everything other small businesses are doing that I like so I can borrow their idea. So, that is why I place so much value and emphasis on packaging. It really gives the customer impression that the company and product is reputable. In this case, I was thoroughly impressed and will be buying other products from them in the future.

While the versatility of Kaolin Clay for beauty treatments is well-documented, I'm here to sing its praises from a different perspective: pest control in the garden. Specifically, its effectiveness against the dreaded Japanese Beetle!Beetle Bane: Forget harsh chemicals and expensive traps. This humble clay powder packs a natural punch against these destructive insects. The fine particles cling to their bodies, dehydrating them and deterring them from feasting on my precious fruit trees. I've seen a significant decrease in beetle sightings since incorporating it as a foliar spray in my gardening routine.Easy on Everything: The beauty of Kaolin Clay is its simplicity. Mix it with water to create a spray, dust it directly on leaves, or sprinkle it around the base of your trees. I haven't noticed any harm to my plants or the other beneficial insects lurking in my garden.Double Duty Delight: Bonus points for the clay's ability to improve soil quality. It helps retain moisture, regulate temperature, and even attract beneficial earthworms. My trees seem happier and healthier overall, not just beetle-free!Minor Musings: The 2-pound bag might seem like a lot at first, but trust me, it goes quickly when battling persistent pests. The powder can be a bit messy to mix and apply, so gloves can be helpful. Also, while it's effective, it's not a magic bullet. Combining it with other organic pest control methods is best for comprehensive protection.Overall Verdict: This Natural White Kaolin Clay Powder has become my go-to weapon against Japanese Beetles and a valuable addition to my organic gardening arsenal. It's effective, safe, and surprisingly versatile. If you're looking for a natural way to protect your fruit trees and improve your soil, look no further!Happy (and pest-free) gardening!

Works as described

Love the product, the packaging and the beautiful card. Will purchase again

This is a very nice quality cosmetic clay, though perhaps slightly overpriced.

The clay was all over the exterior bag and had managed to float into the Amazon box, as another review had stated. I wish I'd taken a picture but I was more concerned with getting as much of the loose clay collected when I opened the box. All of that being said, this is wonderful high-quality kaolin clay at a good price. I don't know if I'll buy it again because of the mess, so I removed one star.

Great for making soap!
