SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Kaolin's oil absorption mechanism involves genuine capillary condensation of oils into the inter-platelet micropores between its layered silicate sheets. the surface area of cosmetic-grade kaolin (10-30 mยฒ/g) provides thousands of square meters of oil-adsorbing surface per gram โ explaining its exceptional mattifying efficacy despite its inert mineral composition.
