Fullers Earth
Fullers Earth, is a natural, mineral clay type substance with the property of absorbing basic colors and removing them from oils. It is composed mainly of alumina, silica, iron oxides, lime, magnesia, and water, in extremely variable proportions, and is generally classified as a sedimentary clay. In color it may be whitish, buff, brown, green, olive, or blue. Fullers earth was originally used in the fulling of wool to remove oil and grease but is now used in refining edible oils. 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. Add a tablespoon of fullers earth to your favourite cold process soap recipe for a bar of soap that eliminates hard to remove dirt and grease.
