Description
Fullers
Earth has been around for quite some time and recent developments from
the natural cosmetics and skincare industries have helped to resurrect
this useful clay as more beneficial then a solvent that simply soaks up
spilled auto oil!
Fullers
Earth was awarded its name several hundred years ago when wool textile
workers or "Fullers" created a time-saving concoction to remove the
dense oils from sheep's wool. This brew included water, urine, soapwort
and an abundant "clay" that was in hearty supply. Because of its
ability to literally soak up oil and remove dense properties from any
given material, it was found to be a highly profitable and useful
product for modern manufacturers.
Since
then its most prominent use has been for post production kitty litter,
meow! And as a bulk garage clay that many mechanics use to soak up oil
and other automotive spills.
Don't
let this frighten you from trying it on your skin! It marvels in
comparison to other "whitening clays" and so far has outperformed any
material to help clean oily and acne-prone skin.
The
type of Fullers Earth one should apply to the skin would be a mixture
of open mined minerals of montmorillonite and a small mixture of
bentonite. Most industrial Fullers Earth products are not pre-blended
so do not go to an auto supply warehouse and have them special order it
for you!
Fuller's
Earth is a naturally occurring sedimentary clay composed mainly of
alumina, silica, iron oxides, lime, magnesia, and water, in extremely
variable proportions.
It
has the incredible ability to remove oils and impurities from the skin
and produces a lightening effect on the outer epidermal layer. This is
why we have seen several products marketed as "facial bleach" or "skin
bleaching" clay .
It comes highly recommended to those with acne problems, blemishes, spotting, and people prone to oily skin. It
is also a useful base ingredient for facial clay recipes and adds a
nice finishing touch to clay products promising to aid its user with
their battle against oily skin.
