Fuller’s Earth Powder

Natural Clay • Oil Absorber • Skin Purifier

Fuller’s Earth is a naturally occurring clay material composed mainly of hydrated aluminum silicates. It has long been valued in skincare for its strong oil-absorbing, deep-cleansing, and detoxifying properties. Commonly used in facial masks, cleansing powders, and poultices, it is ideal for oily, acne-prone, and congested skin types.

The clay works by absorbing excess sebum, dirt, toxins, and impurities, leaving skin feeling refreshed, matte, and smooth.

• Absorbs excess oil and sebum – helps reduce shine and grease

• Unclogs pores – draws out impurities and blackheads

• Soothes acne-prone and inflamed skin

• Improves skin texture and tone with regular use

• Can tighten skin temporarily – gives a lifted, toned appearance

• Acts as a natural cleanser and exfoliant when combined with water or hydrosols

• Enhances the performance of mud masks and exfoliating blends
