Calamine Clay

Calamine clay, also known as rose clay or pink clay, is a natural and gentle cosmetic clay that combines kaolin clay with minerals like zinc oxide and iron oxide. It is renowned for its soothing and anti-inflammatory properties, making it a popular ingredient in skincare products.

Originating from zinc and iron-rich deposits, calamine clay has been used for centuries to treat various skin conditions. Historically, it was mined in regions like Germany and Belgium, where it was initially used to produce brass before its medicinal properties were discovered.
