Where is it from?
Pink clay is actually sourced from two sources: Australia and France. Australian pink clay is the most commonly used variety seen in cosmetics, due to its combination of kaolin (white clay) and red iron oxide that provides all that beautiful rosy hue. The French variety of pink clay is also found in some cosmetic products, as its slightly darker colour lends itself well to certain types of makeup applications.

The Story Behind The Clay
The earliest known use of pink clay can be traced back to Egypt in 4000 BC. Ancient Egyptians would use it as part of their daily cleansing rituals and as a natural means to preserve and protect their skin from harsh elements. Fast forward to the 18th century, where French nobles began using it as a beauty treatment – a trend which quickly spread throughout Europe and beyond! Since then, numerous studies have proven its efficacy for all manner of skin ailments and issues.
