Multani Mitti & Orange

Fuller's Earth

Calcium montmorillonite (Multani Mitti)

Multan-origin deposits, Rajasthan

A hydrated aluminium silicate clay with a layered crystalline structure that creates an electrostatic adsorption matrix — physically drawing sebum, surface toxins, and oxidised debris from pores as it dries. Its calcium and magnesium ion content performs a gentle mineralising function on the skin surface, distinct from kaolin or bentonite clays.

Orange Peel Powder

Citrus sinensis

Nagpur, Maharashtra

Sun-dried and micro-milled Nagpur orange peel provides hesperidin, nobiletin, and d-limonene in a stable powder matrix that releases on hydration. The combined flavonoid profile inhibits melanin synthesis at the tyrosinase enzyme level, while limonene contributes a mild enzymatic exfoliation that accelerates the clay's clearing action.

Sandalwood

Santalum album

Mysuru, Karnataka

A minor addition by weight but significant by function — sandalwood powder mediates the drying effect of Fuller's Earth with anti-inflammatory alpha-santalol, preventing the over-stripping common with clay masks used on sensitive or combination skin. It also imparts a characteristic warm, resinous scent profile that intensifies during the application dwell time.
