Description

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 natural clay with a high mineral content which has many beneficial properties to skin and hair. It is one of the most essential and popular ingredient in facial and hair treatments because it removes toxins and impurities from skin and scalp without stripping the natural oils. It is effective against blemishes, acne, pimples, blackheads and whiteheads. Will leave skin healthy, radiant and glowing.
