Benefits

Helps Absorb Excess Surface Oil

Fuller's Earth is valued for its absorbent characteristics. In suitable cosmetic formulations, it helps take up excess surface oil and supports a cleaner-feeling skin surface.

Supports Deep-Cleansing Formulations

Its clay-based absorbent properties make it useful in rinse-off facial masks and cleansing preparations designed to remove surface oil and impurities.

Provides a Natural Mattifying Effect

By absorbing surface oil, Multani Mitti can help create a temporary matte appearance, particularly in formulations intended for oily skin.

Supports Gentle Physical Exfoliation

Finely dispersed clay particles can contribute mild mechanical exfoliation in suitable rinse-off products. The exfoliating effect depends on particle characteristics and formulation.

Versatile for Cosmetic Formulation

Suitable for use in traditional dry face packs, ubtan, body masks and selected soap formulations, allowing formulators to develop a range of mineral-clay-based products.

Contributes Texture and Body

As a mineral powder, Fuller's Earth can contribute solids, body and texture to cosmetic preparations. Its final effect depends on the formulation and dispersion method.

Applications

Face Packs and Clay Masks

Used in dry powder masks and rinse-off facial clay preparations intended for cleansing, oil absorption and mattifying benefits.

Traditional Ubtan

Suitable as a mineral-clay component in traditional ubtan powders and rinse-off herbal cosmetic preparations.

Body Masks and Wraps

Can be incorporated into body-care clay preparations where absorbency and mineral-powder texture are desired.

Cold-Process Soap

Suitable for incorporation as a mineral-clay ingredient in cold-process soap manufacturing, subject to formulation validation.

Melt-and-Pour Soap

Suitable for melt-and-pour soap formulations where a mineral-clay component is required.

Oily-Scalp Rinse-Off Treatments

May be evaluated in scalp-cleansing masks designed to help manage excess surface oil. Dispersion, rinsability and finished-product performance should be assessed.

Exfoliating Cleansing Preparations

Can contribute a mild physical exfoliating effect when the particle characteristics and formulation are appropriate.

How to Use

Typical Usage Rate

The amount of Multani Mitti used depends on the product format, desired clay loading, texture and processing method.

• Dry Face Packs: May be used as the principal mineral-clay ingredient, with the final proportion determined by the intended product.

• Rinse-Off Clay Masks: Adjust the clay loading to achieve the desired consistency, absorbency and spreadability.

• Traditional Ubtan: Incorporate as a mineral-clay component according to the intended cleansing and sensory properties.

• Cold-Process Soap: Use at a formulation-validated level suitable for uniform dispersion and finished-bar quality.

• Melt-and-Pour Soap: Select a level that provides the desired appearance and texture without excessive settling.

• Scalp Masks: Determine the amount through evaluation of spreadability, oil absorption and rinsability.

Phase of Adding

Dry Powder Formulations

Blend Multani Mitti with other compatible dry ingredients until uniformly distributed.

Water-Based Clay Masks

Gradually disperse the powder into the aqueous phase while mixing to minimise lumps and achieve a uniform consistency. Evaluate hydration, viscosity and settling behaviour.

Cold-Process Soap

Incorporate through a suitable powder-dispersion method to achieve even distribution throughout the soap mixture.

Melt-and-Pour Soap

Disperse uniformly during the manufacturing process and evaluate settling and finished-bar appearance.

Formulation Considerations

• Control airborne powder during handling.

• Evaluate dispersion and texture before finalising the formulation.

• For water-containing products, establish appropriate preservation and microbiological stability.

• Validate finished-product compatibility, stability and performance.

Pairs Well With

Kaolin Clay

Can be combined in clay-mask development to adjust the mineral-clay profile, texture and absorbent characteristics.

Aloe Vera

A complementary skin-conditioning ingredient for suitable clay-mask and rinse-off skincare formulations.

Glycerin

A humectant that can help support moisture management and application feel in appropriate water-containing clay formulations.

Xanthan Gum
