Multani Mitti (Fuller's Earth) Clay

Appearance: Cream to light yellow coloured powder.

This light-coloured Multani Mitti clay is the result of decomposed volcanic ash. The name, Fuller's earth, comes from this clay's use in the early English wool industry. It was used by fullers to clean and degrease woolen cloth during the 'fulling' process, because of its ability to absorb oil.

Multani Mitti is also one of the earliest substances to be used as a beauty mask. Multani mitti is said to make your skin radiant and appealing by getting rid of blemishes and acne scars. On the other hand, it also hydrates the skin, clears up black heads and whiteheads, and flushes out toxins. Deep cleansing with Multani Mitti helps to remove impurities and dead skin cells, allowing the skin to breathe and absorb moisturizing cream more easily into the skin.

To make a facial mask or body wrap, mix approximately 1 tablespoonful of clay with a few drops of water, oil, or Floral Waters until you create a paste. Allow the mask to stay on your skin for about 15 minutes. Rinse with warm water. Follow with your favorite Perfectly Natural moisturizer!
