Multani Mitti (Fuller’s Earth)

Sourced from the ancient city of Multan, this naturally occurring clay known as Fuller’s Earth is the result of decomposed volcanic ash rich in skin-loving minerals. Historically used by English fullers to cleanse and degrease wool, Multani Mitti’s oil-absorbing and purifying abilities have made it one of the world’s oldest beauty staples.

In skincare, it’s prized for its ability to detoxify without stripping the skin’s natural oils. It draws out impurities, refines pores, and leaves the complexion smooth, radiant, and refreshed. A hero ingredient in masks, soaps, and cleansing treatments, perfect for oily, combination, and acne-prone skin types.
