# Multani Mitti Clay > Pure Multani Mitti — the original Fuller's Earth clay for face masks, oil absorption, and hair care. Ultra-fine grade, ships from Montréal. - **URL:** https://sampsonecoshop.com/products/multani-mitti-clay - **Type:** Clays - **Brand:** Sampson Eco Shop - **Price:** 10.99 CAD - **Availability:** in stock - **Tags:** clay, replenishable ## Description Single Ingredient Fuller's Earth Ultra-Fine Milled For Oily Skin Multani Mitti is the original oil-control clay — Fuller's Earth, the same powder that has been mixed with water and worn as a mask for generations, sold here as the raw clay and nothing else. A clay’s job on the skin comes down to one thing: how much oil it pulls. Multani Mitti is a **montmorillonite-rich clay** — montmorillonite is the mineral most responsible for oil absorption. Mixed with water and applied, the clay binds sebum and surface debris; as the mask dries it lifts that oil and grime toward the surface, so when you rinse, the clay leaves with what it grabbed. Strong absorption is exactly what oily and combination skin wants. *[TODO: confirm montmorillonite classification against the supplier spec sheet before stating it as a hard product fact — this is drawn from the line offer brief, not the live Shopify listing.]* This is the clay on its own — **a single ingredient, milled to an ultra-fine powder**, sold by weight. There is no water, no thickener, no fragrance and no preservative, because you add the liquid at home. That is why a 100g pouch costs cents per use and a pre-made mask jar — mostly water and thickeners around a little clay — costs $20 to $45. The live listing describes it as “sourced directly from the fertile lands where it has been harvested for generations.” *[TODO: no verified country/region of origin or supplier is on file — do not name a specific origin until confirmed.]* Who it is for 💧 Oily & Combination Skin The strong-absorber end of the clay spectrum. Best for skin that gets shiny by midday and wants oil pulled, not just surface-cleaned. 🪨 Heritage Buyers The clay people already know by name. A clean, single-ingredient source sold by weight — not a specialty-store markup. 🧴 Congestion & Blackheads A weekly draw for clogged pores and shine across the T-zone. Use 1–2× a week, not daily. 🪶 Oily Scalp Mixed into a paste and used as a scalp mask to manage oiliness between washes. Rinse thoroughly. ⚜️ **The Sampson Promise** We are environmental engineers, not marketers. We sell Multani Mitti as the raw clay because strong oil absorption is what oily skin actually needs — and because adding water, fragrance and a jar is what makes a mask expensive, not better. Size 100 g Composition Pure Fuller's Earth Texture Ultra-Fine Milled Best For Oily / Combination Added Ingredients None Packaging Recyclable ## Benefits 💧 Absorbs excess oil Montmorillonite binds sebum Cosmetic clay carries a net negative surface charge; it binds positively-charged sebum and surface debris, and rinsing carries both away. Multani Mitti sits at the strong-absorber end of the clay range, which is why it has long been the traditional choice for oily skin. (Mechanism per Healthline; treat as directional, not curative.) 🧴 Clears congestion Lifts debris from pores By drawing oil and debris toward the surface as the mask dries, the clay leaves pores feeling temporarily clearer and skin less congested. Used 1–2× a week, it is a maintenance step for skin prone to blackheads and midday shine — not a daily cleanser. ⚖️ Strong without being harsh Rinse before it cracks Strong absorption is the point for oily skin — but strong is not the same as stripping. Rinse while the mask is still slightly tacky rather than letting it dry to a hard crack, and limit use to 1–2× a week. If your skin is dry or sensitive, this is the wrong clay; reach for kaolin or rhassoul instead. 🌿 One ingredient, nothing added No water, fragrance or filler Because it ships as the raw clay, there is nothing to react to: no fragrance, no preservative, no thickener. You control the mix — clay plus the liquid of your choice — which is also why it costs cents per use compared with a pre-made jar. ## How to Use 1 Mix Combine roughly 1 teaspoon of Multani Mitti with enough water or rosewater to form a smooth paste. Use a non-metal bowl and spoon. Mix to a spreadable consistency — thin enough to apply evenly, thick enough not to run. 2 Apply Spread an even layer over clean skin, avoiding the eye area. For an oily scalp, work the paste in at the roots. Leave on until it is dry to the touch but still slightly tacky — not cracked. 3 Rinse Rinse off with lukewarm water and pat dry. Follow with a light moisturizer if your skin feels tight. Use once or twice a week — more often than that is more than oily skin needs. Don’t let the mask dry to a hard crack. The clay does its work while damp; once it cracks it is pulling at the skin, not the oil. Rinse while it is still slightly tacky. ## Ingredients 🪨 Multani Mitti (Fuller's Earth) Single ingredient, milled fine A naturally occurring sedimentary clay, milled to an ultra-fine powder.
