The word “Rhassoul” derives from the Arabic word for washing, “Rhassala.” Renowned for its unmatched ability to absorb impurities from the skin and hair and give the skin and hair highly beneficial minerals, Moroccan Rhassoul Clay a must-have product. Moroccan Rhassoul Clay is an essential part of the Moroccan Hammam treatment and has been for more than fourteen centuries.
Moroccan Rhassoul Clay, sometimes referred to as Moroccan Ghassoul Clay, is naturally found and organically mined from ancient deposits deep within the Atlas Mountains in the northeastern region of Morocco. This extraordinary mineral-rich clay is extracted in large clods, then it gets washed, sun-dried and micronized into a smooth powder.
Rhassoul clay's most impressive property in skin improvement is its capacity to absorb toxins and excess oils from the skin due to its high level of ion exchange. Studies have shown that it reduces dryness and flakiness, and improves skin clarity and elasticity. It is rich in magnesium, silica, potassium, and calcium.
Rhassoul is used in many professional applications to aid in rejuvenation, detoxification and toning of the skin. Moroccan Rhassoul Clay can be used as a detoxifying cleanser, skin conditioner, shampoo, and facial and body mask. It has a number of outstanding benefits that surpass those of other clays because it contains the highest content of silica, magnesium, potassium and calcium, and because of its extraordinary smectic qualities (absorption ability).
