We offer free shipping to every province and territory in Australia.
We offer free standard shipping throughout the Australia with no minimum spend. All orders include tracking for a smooth and reliable delivery experience.
We offer a 30-day return policy, which means you have 30 days after receiving your item to request a return. For Beauty & Personal Care items, returns are only accepted for products that arrive damaged, defective, incorrectly shipped, or in a condition that is the fault of the seller.
You should expect to receive your refund within four weeks of giving your package to the return shipper, although in many cases refunds are processed sooner. This timeframe includes the transit time for us to receive your return from the carrier (5–10 business days), the time it takes us to inspect and process the returned item once received (3–5 business days), and the time required for your bank to complete the refund request (5–10 business days).
If you need to return an item, simply contact us at cevraaustralia@gmail.com and our team will guide you through the return process.
We will notify you via email once we have received and processed the returned item and your refund has been issued.
Deliveries to outer and remote regions of the Australia may experience seasonal delays due to severe weather conditions or limited carrier availability. We appreciate your understanding and kindly ask that you allow additional time for your order to arrive safely.
Harvested and packaged from Cameroon, this 170-gram bag of Kalaba (also called Calabar chalk, Poto, or Nzu) delivers a fine, absorbent white clay useful as a base or additive in home beauty and soap recipes. Pieces vary in color and size, reflecting its natural origin; it can be ground to a powder or used in chunk form according to your formulation needs.
Kalaba is a kaolin-rich chalk traditionally used in African cosmetic and cultural practices and now adopted by makers for its gentle texture and absorbent properties. It serves as a primary ingredient or filler in facial masks, scrubs, and cold-process or melt-and-pour soaps.
To get a consistent, workable powder, crack larger pieces and mill them using a mortar and pestle, spice grinder, or dedicated lab mill. Store the powder in a cool, dry, airtight container away from moisture to keep it free-flowing and contamination-free.
Kalaba is a natural mineral product whose appearance may vary; always perform a small patch test when combining with new cosmetic ingredients. Do not make medical claims about curing or treating conditions—use it as a formulation ingredient and follow standard cosmetic safety practices.
Who is this for? JKUB Kalaba is suited to small-batch soap makers, indie cosmetic formulators, craft artisans, and DIY skincare enthusiasts seeking a natural kaolin chalk to improve texture, absorbency, and opacity in masks, soaps, and scrubs. If you value raw, cultural ingredients with versatile formulation uses and prefer to mill and tailor particle size yourself, this 170 g bag provides a handy supply to experiment and refine your recipes.
Q: Can I use JKUB Kalaba directly in a facial mask?
A: Yes — grind larger pieces to a fine powder, mix with liquids or other clays, and patch-test before full application.
Q: How much Kalaba comes in each package?
A: Each bag contains approximately 170 grams of Kalaba; piece size and color may vary due to its natural origin.

SHIPPING TIME
Cerva Australia ships exclusively within the Australia (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland).
Standard delivery: Total delivery time is approximately 5 business days (2–3 days processing + delivery).
Remote or outlying regions: 6–10 business days due to distance, weather conditions and limited carrier routes.
Deliveries to areas such as the Scottish Highlands and Islands, Isle of Man, Channel Islands and certain rural postcodes may take longer because of seasonal and logistical factors.
We always strive for timely deliveries, but once a parcel is handed to the courier, Cerva Australia is not responsible for carrier delays, customs checks or weather-related disruptions.
