SciArt September, Day 21: Kaolin is a clay mineral used for many things. QuikClot is a brand of wound dressing that is impregnated with kaolin which works as a hemostatic agent to stop hemorrhaging. 🎨🐡 #kaolin #sciartseptember2026

Day 21 - #kaolin

A Blue-and-yellow Macaw (Aru ararauna) on a kaolin clay lick in the Amazon.

Not super pleased with this one, but -
Macaws eat kaolin to detoxify alkaloids & tannins in their diet + as a mineral supplement.

Watercolor + colored pencil.

For Day 21 of #SciArtSeptember #Kaolin did you know that "K.B.T."—a commonly prescribed pill here in Taiwan for tummy bugs—is literally:

Kaolin 167mg
Bismuth subcarbonate 167mg
Albumin Tannate 167mg
Scopolia Extract 3mg

The kaolin provides absorptive and coating properties within this mix. 🦑🐡🧪
