A colour-index label for mineral aluminium-silicate clay preparations, including kaolin and bentonite. Cosmetic clay assessments support ordinary topical use with control of metals, crystalline silica and other impurities. No pregnancy-specific harm has been identified for this use; direct pregnancy studies are limited. Because the code can cover more than one clay, it should not be treated as proof of a particular grade. Inhaled or airbrush exposure is excluded from this assessment.
