Multani Mitti, also known as Fuller's Earth, originally came from the Multan region, which is now in Pakistan.

Multani Mitti's association with the city of Multan is central to its origins. The regions around Jaisalmer and Barmer, near the route to Multan (now in Pakistan), are known for this clay. This historical connection to Multan gives the clay its name and highlights its geographical origin. It has been used for centuries in the Indian subcontinent for skincare and haircare.
