Solum fullonum kaolin volcanic clay, from India.

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 woollen 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 blackheads 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, leaving you feeling glowing and refreshed!

Appearance: mustard yellow colour.

Application: Mixed with water, it can be used in place of soap to wash oily complexions. Made into a paste with rosewater and left on to dry, it makes an oil-absorbing and detoxifying mask suitable for oily and normal complexions. It is the basis of a traditional home remedy for acne which includes the use of rosewater and lemon juice. It can also be used as a baby powder (pat on, do not shake), in dusting powders, and as a dry shampoo.

Active Ingredients: Multani Mitti (literally, Multan's Sand) is a type of non-plastic Kaolin, and is high in minerals, especially aluminum magnesium silicate.

Caution: All clays are packed for external use only except for the diatomaceous earth.
