The four clays I used were:
- Kaolin - a mild, white, fluffy clay. It's good for light masks or scrubs, and gives a silkiness and creaminess to soaps.
- Bentonite - a light green clay, it is highly absorbent and good for oily skin. It gives a slippery silkiness which makes it good in shaving soaps.
- Rose clay - a general purpose medium weight clay used mostly for its lovely rose color, but also adds silkiness, slip and absorbency to soaps.
- Rhassoul - a light brown clay that has used for its great ability to absorb oils and impurities from the skin and hair. I used a "non micronized" variety from Herbal Accents that's a little coarser grind. It gives a lovely brown speckled color and is lightly exfoliating.
