Description : Clay is a versatile, natural material composed of fine-grained minerals, used in a wide range of applications from pottery and sculpture to skincare and construction. There are several types of clay, each with distinct properties: kaolin (white clay) is smooth and used in ceramics and cosmetics; bentonite is highly absorbent and commonly used in industrial applications and face masks; earthenware is a soft, porous clay often used in pottery; stoneware is durable and used in cookware and dishes; and fireclay is resistant to high temperatures, making it ideal for refractory materials. Clay's ability to be molded and its unique texture make it a staple in artistic, health, and industrial products.
