Fuller's earth side effects

Although the benefits of fuller's earth for face are amazing, multani mitti can also have side effects. Because of its oil absorbing power, it might make dry or sensitive skin dryer and inflamed. For this kind of skin, we recommend using it with coconut oil, or avoiding using it altogether.

Also, some people claim fuller's earth aids digestion if eaten. However, some have pointed out to the fact that, being a clay, it might cause kidney stones. We do not recommend eating it without doctor's supervision.
