(cloth makers) to absorb lanolin and other oils out of wool.
A natural clay, dermatologically well-tolerated,
often used in cosmetics as a thickening and stabilising agent
for emulsions, creams, toothpastes, gels and powders.
It has been used for centuries to remove impurities from the
skin.
When taken internally it has been proven
to prevent the absorbtion of toxic substances in the gastrointestinal
tract.
It is a powerful cleanser or intestinal
de-toxifiant. Often used in colon cleansing and aenemas, as
it helps remove imacted waste.
Aluminium in Fullers Earth is rendered
insoluble by silica which removes the risk of it being absorbed
by the body.
