Rhassoul. Moroccan fine grade natural clay powder from Atlas mountains.

INCI: Rhassoul Ghassoul Moroccan Red clay

Origin: Morocco

Recommended for normal to sensitive skin;

The name Rhassoul Clay (aka Ghassoul Clay) comes from the Arabic word Rassala, meaning “to wash”.

Rhassoul has been used by Moroccan women since ancient times to deeply cleanse and purify the skin, hair, and scalp. 

Rhassoul is a Stevensite clay that has been formed from volcanic lava and is mined from chambers below the Atlas Mountains in Morocco. 

After extraction, the pure clay is washed and dried in the sun, and then ground to a fine powder.

 It is regarded as the finest of clays because of its very high mineral content and capacity to draw out impurities.

The Benefits: 

• Nourishes the Skin

Rich in minerals that are beneficial for the skin, primarily Silica (approx. 57%) and Magnesium (approx. 25%). 

Silica is an essential element in collagen production and frequently used in skin formulations. 

Magnesium is an essential mineral for the body and is readily absorbed by the skin. 

Magnesium protects against free radical damage that leads to wrinkles and protects against inflammation caused by allergies and acne. 

Magnesium is the mineral responsible for the well-known therapeutic benefits of Epson Salts.

• Treats Acne / Detoxifying

This clay works by ionic exchange. 

The negatively charged clay particles draw out positively charged impurities in the skin, unclogging pores and promoting circulation, and at the same time depositing its beneficial minerals. 

Rhassoul is also highly absorbent and is a very effective treatment for excessively oily skin.

• Exfoliates / Tightens / Smoothes

The tiny clay particles gently exfoliate the skin, removing dead skin cells and tightening the pores.

 Regular use of Rhassoul will lead to a smooth and evenly-toned complexion.

• Suitable for sensitive skin

Rhassoul has been tried and tested over 1000 years and is very well tolerated by all skin types. 

The minerals in Rhassoul will assist in reducing inflammation without irritating or drying the skin.

• Natural shampoo

Rhassoul is also traditionally used as a shampoo as it has excellent properties for removing dirt and grease, and will gently clean the scalp without irritation.
