Pink clay, also known as Rose Clay, is a gentle and mineral-rich natural clay derived from a blend of red and white clays. It is particularly suitable for sensitive, dry, or mature skin due to its mild nature. Rich in silica, pink clay helps improve skin elasticity and cell renewal, making it a popular ingredient in natural and DIY skincare products.
