The Multani Mitti available at local kirana stores is raw, non-levigated clay. It has not been processed to remove heavy metal salts and is typically coarser in particle size. The MB Herbals-sourced Multani Mitti supplied by CosmySupplies is levigated — a process that removes heavy metal salts by suspending the clay in water and separating finer particles from coarser ones. The result is a lower-density, ultra-fine powder that forms a smoother paste, spreads more evenly on the skin surface, and has heavy metals removed at the processing stage. This is the difference between an industrial bulk clay and a cosmetic-grade formulation ingredient.

Benefits

•        High oil absorption makes Multani Mitti the strongest oil-control clay in the CSW range, drawing excess sebum deeply from the skin surface and pore opening during face pack application, leaving the skin surface visibly matte and clean on rinsing. Its absorptive capacity exceeds Kaolin and French Pink Clay and is comparable to French Green Clay and Bentonite in the oily skin clay category.

•        Levigated processing removes heavy metal salts from the raw clay, upgrading it from the standard non-levigated Multani Mitti available in bulk commodity supply to a cosmetic-grade ingredient with a cleaner safety profile for use in finished cosmetic products.

•        Triple sifted and ultra fine particle size produces a powder that forms a smooth, even paste on activation, spreads without dragging on the skin surface, and rinses cleanly without leaving a gritty residue — the three performance differences most formulators notice when moving from kirana-grade to cosmetic-grade Multani Mitti.

•        Non-irradiated per supplier, preserving the natural mineral structure of the clay without radiation processing, which is a relevant positioning point for formulators building certified natural or clean-label Ayurvedic products.

•        No preservatives, bleaching agents, parabens, or added fragrance per supplier claim, making it a clean-label ingredient appropriate for natural and organic-positioned face pack formulations.

•        The traditional Indian face pack clay, used across the Indian subcontinent for centuries in skincare, hair care, and Ayurvedic body treatments. Its use in ubtan, face packs, and hair conditioning treatments is documented in classical Ayurvedic texts and is deeply embedded in the purchasing language of CosmySupplies' Indian indie brand ICP.

•        Functions as a gentle mechanical exfoliant during rinsing, with the fine clay particles removing loose dead skin cells from the surface when the paste is rinsed off with circular motions, contributing to the post-pack smoothness that consumers associate with Multani Mitti face packs.

How to Use

For Face Pack: Mix 1 to 2 teaspoons with enough water, rose water, or aloe vera gel to form a smooth paste. Apply to the face avoiding the eye area. Leave for 10 to 20 minutes. For oily skin, leave until the pack begins to dry but not until fully hardened. Rinse with lukewarm water. Follow with a moisturiser. Suitable for oily and combination skin 2 to 3 times per week.

With Herbal Additions: Combine Multani Mitti with Aloe Vera Powder, Rose Petals Powder, Neem Powder, or Licorice Powder before activation. Mix dry powders thoroughly before adding liquid. Each additive extends the benefit profile of the base Multani Mitti pack. Neem adds antimicrobial properties. Licorice adds skin tone-evening action. Rose Petals add fragrance and light astringency. Aloe Vera Powder adds soothing properties.

For Hair and Scalp: Mix with water to a paste and apply to the scalp. Leave for 15 to 20 minutes. Rinse thoroughly and follow with conditioner. Multani Mitti is used traditionally in India for scalp oil control and sebum reduction in oily scalp conditions.

For Ubtan: Combine with turmeric, sandalwood powder, and rose water in the proportions traditional to the region and skin type. Multani Mitti is a standard base ingredient in Indian ubtan formulations alongside gram flour and herbal powders.

Sensitivity note: As stated in the supplier brief: a hypersensitivity test is recommended for first-time users. Apply a small amount of the activated paste to the inner arm. Wait 10 minutes. If no redness or irritation occurs, proceed to full face application.

Technical Information

Pairs Well With

Neem Powder is the most requested Indian pairing with Multani Mitti in face pack formulations for oily and acne-prone skin. Neem at 5 to 10% of the dry blend adds antimicrobial properties to the oil-absorbing base of Multani Mitti, creating the standard Indian home remedy face pack for pimple-prone skin. This is the combination most of your ICP grew up using in some form.

Licorice Powder (Glycyrrhiza glabra) at 5 to 10% of the dry blend pairs with Multani Mitti in brightening and skin-tone-evening face pack formulations. The oil-absorbing function of Multani Mitti combined with the skin-tone-equalising properties of Licorice creates a face pack that addresses both oil control and uneven pigmentation — one of the most commercially relevant skin concern combinations for the Indian indie brand market.

Aloe Vera Powder dissolved in water used as the activation liquid for Multani Mitti moderates the drying effect of the high-absorption clay on the skin, making the face pack more comfortable for combination skin types where dry cheeks and oily T-zone coexist. The Aloe contributes soothing and light hydration alongside the cleansing function of the Multani Mitti.

Rose Petals Powder at 5 to 10% of the dry blend adds a light floral fragrance and mild astringency to the Multani Mitti base, creating an Ayurvedic face pack with sensory appeal suitable for normal to oily skin. This is the traditional Gulabi Ubtan formulation that has been used in Indian wedding preparation and daily skin care for centuries.

Kaolin Clay blended with Multani Mitti at 70% Kaolin to 30% Multani Mitti extends the face pack to normal and combination skin types by moderating the high oil absorption, while the Multani Mitti retains the Ayurvedic heritage positioning and oil-control function in the blend.

Sandalwood Powder at 5 to 15% combined with Multani Mitti creates the classic Indian premium ubtan base. Sandalwood contributes fragrance, skin conditioning, and Ayurvedic brand story alongside the oil control of Multani Mitti. This is the foundational ingredient pair of Indian luxury skin care heritage.

Important Information

For external cosmetic use only. A patch test on the inner arm is recommended before full facial application, particularly for first-time users. Apply activated paste and leave for 10 minutes. If no redness or irritation occurs, proceed with facial application. Do not leave Multani Mitti face pack on until fully hardened on the skin surface, particularly on dry skin areas. Always follow with a moisturiser. Not recommended for daily use on dry or sensitive skin without blending with Kaolin. Avoid contact with eyes. Store in a dry, airtight container.
