Product Overview:
African White Kaolin Clay (410g) is a clean, fine-grained edible clay sourced from natural deposits in Nigeria. Known for its smooth texture and refreshing mineral profile, this clay is a favourite among geophagy enthusiasts and those seeking a natural, earthy experience. The chunks break with a soft firmness and dissolve cleanly on the tongue, offering a subtle flavour that evokes rainy freshness, light forest tones, and a whisper of mineral dust.
Kaolin, also referred to as African White Chalk or Calaba Chalk, is traditionally used not only for its distinctive taste but also for its natural detoxifying properties. Rich in minerals like calcium, magnesium, and silica, this clay is often incorporated into wellness routines to help absorb excess stomach acid, soothe the digestive tract, or bind toxins for gentle cleansing.
This versatile clay can be eaten, used in face masks, or incorporated into traditional remedies. Its pale white-grey colour and refined texture make it ideal for anyone who prefers a softer crunch and smoother mouthfeel with no grit or lingering residue.

Storage Tips
To keep your clays and treats fresh, crunchy, and full of flavour, always store them in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from moisture, humidity, and strong odours. Exposure to air or dampness can alter both texture and taste.
We highly recommend using our stash boxes, available on the website — designed specifically to protect and organise your clay collection with ease.
Handling Guidelines
- clean, dry hands.
- wooden spoon included with your order
Fragility Disclaimer
All clay treats and terracotta pot products are handmade and naturally fragile, making them susceptible to breakage during delivery.
While we take great care in packing each item securely, minor cracks, chips, or crumbled pieces may occur. This is a natural part of working with handcrafted clays and does not affect taste or enjoyment.
To help, every order includes a wooden spoon — ideal for enjoying broken pieces or powder just as deliciously as the whole form.
