More about Kiehl’s Rare Earth Pore Minimizing Collection





Compromising a cleanser, toner, lotion and masque, Kiehl's Rare Earth Pore Minimizing Collection targets the pressing concern of men and women worldwide — enlarged and clogged pores.

Formulated with Amazonian White Clay, found at the basin of Brazil’s Amazon River on Marajo Island, this collection helps to detoxify skin to reduce pores and leave skin texture more defined and healthier looking.

In consumer testing of Kielh's Rare Earth Pore Minimizing Lotion, 80% reported that it minimized the appearance of pores and kept skin looking matte for 8hours!


The Magic of Rare Earth

Rare Earth’s key ingredient, Amazonian White Clay, is sourced from Marajo Island, the largest island surrounded by fresh water in the world. This special clay is gathered at the mouth of the Amazon River at the beginning of the dry season, after months of being nourished by the leaves, fruits and seeds swept down the rainforest.

For centuries, this indigenous ingredient, also known as “magic earth”, has been used by Brazilian Indians to protect themselves against skin problems, insect bites and snake poison.

Kiehl’s is proud to responsibly source Amazonian White Clay through a fair-trade partnership that helps provide economic support to the local community on Marajo Island. Also, Kiehl’s is committed to sustainable sourcing of this natural ingredient from the Amazon to preserve the conservation of the Amazons Regions’ unparalleled biodiversity.


Here's a Sneak into Excavating the Rare Earth!
