Multani Mitti (Fuller's earth) is a natural clay rich in minerals like magnesium, silica, and aluminum, traditionally used as a face pack to absorb excess oil, cleanse, and exfoliate the skin. It is valued for its oil-absorbing and mattifying properties, particularly for oily and acne-prone skin.
| Reported effect | How often | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Skin dryness and tightness | Common | Due to its strong oil-absorbing action, especially with frequent use or on dry skin |
| Skin irritation or redness | Uncommon | May occur in sensitive skin or with prolonged contact |
| Allergic contact dermatitis | Rare | Hypersensitivity reactions to clay components or added fragrances |
| Excessive barrier disruption | Rare | Overuse can compromise the skin's natural moisture barrier |
Frequencies reflect typical cosmetic use reported in the literature, not a guarantee for your skin.
