Namakatti (Multani Mitti Stick)

Ancient Clay. Timeless Skin Care.

Before serums, before sheet masks, before the entire modern skincare industry existed — there was Namakatti. This simple white clay stick has been used in Tamil Nadu for generations as a cooling agent, a skin remedy, and a beauty ritual. Pregnant women applied it to their skin. Mothers rubbed it on their children to beat the summer heat. And village healers used it to soothe rashes, burns, and inflammation.

It is one of the oldest skincare ingredients in South India, and it works just as well today as it always has.

What is Namakatti?

Namakatti is a naturally occurring white clay — a form of Fuller's Earth (Multani Mitti) — found in specific mineral-rich regions. It is harvested, dried, and shaped into sticks without any processing or additives. What you receive is pure, raw clay in its most natural form.

Benefits & Uses

• Cooling & heat relief — applied to the forehead, neck, or body to instantly cool the skin during summer or fever
• Deep pore cleansing — draws out impurities, excess oil, and toxins from the skin when used as a face pack
• Reduces acne & blemishes — its natural absorbent properties help control sebum and reduce breakouts
• Soothes rashes & irritation — gentle enough for sensitive skin, traditionally used on babies for heat rashes
• Natural skin brightening — regular use is linked to improved skin tone and a natural glow
• Safe for all skin types — no chemicals, no additives, completely natural

How to Use

Wet the tip of the Namakatti stick and rub gently onto the skin or mix with a little water or rose water to form a smooth paste. Apply to the face, neck, or affected area and leave for 10–15 minutes. Rinse off with cool water. Use 2–3 times a week for best results.

For cooling relief, simply wet and apply directly to the forehead or pulse points.

From the earth, for your skin. The Nattrinai way.
