Two Clays, Two Stories
Multani Mitti (Fuller's earth) and Bentonite clay are both incredible — but they work differently.
Multani Mitti
Sourced from Multan region historically, this clay is calcium-rich and best for oily, acne-prone skin.
Bentonite Clay
Formed from volcanic ash, bentonite has stronger drawing properties — great for deep detoxification.
Recipes
Glow Mask (any skin)
- 1 tbsp Multani Mitti
- 1 tsp rose water
- 1/2 tsp honey
Deep Detox (oily skin)
- 1 tbsp Bentonite
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- Mix in a non-metal bowl
Caution
Patch test always. Never use metal utensils with bentonite — it deactivates the clay.
