What is Multani Mitti?
Multani Mitti, also known as Fuller's Earth, is a natural clay mineral that has been treasured in Indian skincare traditions for over 2,000 years. Rich in magnesium chloride and aluminum silicate, this miraculous clay is primarily sourced from Multan (now in Pakistan), hence the name "Multani" Mitti.
This natural wonder works by absorbing excess oil and impurities from the skin, making it particularly effective for oily and acne-prone skin types. Its fine texture and mineral-rich composition make it gentle yet powerful for all skin concerns.
