Kiehl’s & Amazonian White Clay

Sourced near the mouth of the Amazon River in Northern Brazil, our Amazonian White Clay is fairly traded and collected by local communities. Along its 4,000-mile course, the Amazon River carries large amounts of sediment and deposits these at the mouth of the river making the clay in this region especially rich in minerals. Through a long-term partnership with the local community in Brazil, Kiehl’s has provided economic support for the communities who gather our clay.
