Multani Mitti (Fuller's Earth)
Multani Mitti, the mineral-rich clay of India, has been a beauty secret for generations, famed for face packs that leave the skin feeling fresh and matte. Cooling and absorbent, it is the classic mask for warm, oily skin. This collection offers pure Multani Mitti.
The Classic Indian Clay Mask
- Absorbs excess oil, soothing heated, Pitta-Kapha skin.
- A traditional base for ubtans and face packs.
- Mixes beautifully with rose water, turmeric, or sandalwood.

Yes, multani mitti is one of the best traditional ingredients for oily, congested, blemish-prone skin, traditionally valued for absorbing excess oil, lifting impurities, and leaving the skin clearer and more matte. A weekly multani mitti mask keeps pores clearer and shine in check. It suits Kapha-oily and Pitta-prone skin well. Dry skin should use it sparingly, mixed with milk, and always moisturise after, since it can over-dry. For oily skin, it is a clarifying weekly favourite.

Yes, multani mitti is a traditional natural cleanser for an oily scalp, used as a paste to absorb excess oil and gently cleanse the roots, a kind of clay hair wash. Mix it with water into a paste, apply to the scalp, leave briefly, then rinse very thoroughly. It suits oily, Kapha-prone scalps; dry hair should avoid it or use it only on the roots, since it can dry the lengths. Follow with conditioning care on the ends.

Yes, multani mitti is the Indian name for fuller's earth, a naturally absorbent clay, so the two are essentially the same material, prized for the same oil-absorbing, deep-cleansing qualities. "Multani mitti" means "Multan clay," after the region historically associated with it. Whether a product is labelled multani mitti or fuller's earth, it serves the same purpose: a clarifying clay for oily skin and scalp. Choose a pure, cosmetic-grade clay and use it as a weekly mask.

Multani mitti is cooling and drying, especially balancing for Kapha and Pitta, absorbing Kapha's excess oil and cooling Pitta's heat and blemishes, while its drying nature means dry, Vata-prone skin should use it sparingly, mixed with milk, and moisturise well after. Its clarifying, oil-absorbing quality makes it ideal for oily, congested, warm skin. Matching it to Kapha and Pitta needs, and using it cautiously on dry Vata skin, lets you enjoy its deep-cleansing gifts without over-drying.
