Moroccan culture, a source of life and light, is rich in ancestral beauty secrets. With a deep-rooted indigenous history and fertile land filled with powerful natural elements, Moroccans have long used these treasures to purify and beautify. One of the most powerful traditional ingredients is Rhassoul Clay, also known as Ghassoul Clay — a mineral-rich volcanic clay prized for its cleansing, detoxifying, and soothing properties.
Purification and cleanliness are deeply rooted in both Moroccan spirituality and daily ritual. Today, incorporating Rhassoul Clay into your beauty routine is not just a nod to tradition, but a powerful way to support glowing, healthy skin and hair.
Detoxifies Skin and Hair
Rhassoul Clay is rich in metallic elements with a natural negative charge. This gives it magnetic-like detoxifying power — drawing out positively charged toxins from the skin and scalp. As you rinse it away, it helps lift impurities and environmental buildup, deeply detoxifying your skin and hair.
Exfoliates Dead Skin Cells
With a naturally gritty texture, Rhassoul Clay offers gentle exfoliation. It removes dead skin cells and buildup, leaving your skin with a renewed glow. Its silica content gives the skin a smooth sheen — and can also be used on the scalp to treat dandruff and flaking.
Cleanses and Purifies Skin
Thanks to its unique molecular structure, Rhassoul Clay penetrates deep into pores, removing grime and excess buildup. This prevents breakouts, reduces dullness, and helps maintain your skin's natural radiance. The clay’s minerals also nourish and protect the skin’s natural barrier.
Reduces Excess Oil
Rhassoul Clay effectively absorbs excess oil without stripping the skin or scalp of essential moisture. It helps balance oil production, prevent breakouts, and — when used on hair — adds volume and manageability without drying.
Soothes Irritation
As a natural anti-inflammatory, Rhassoul Clay is ideal for sensitive skin. It helps calm flare-ups from conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and acne. Rich in stevensite (a rare white clay mineral), it also improves elasticity and firms the skin with consistent use.
A Natural Shampoo Alternative
Used as a mud wash, Rhassoul Clay is a gentle, non-stripping cleanser for hair and scalp. It retains moisture, nourishes follicles, and leaves hair soft and shiny. For added benefits, it can be mixed with rose water to create a conditioning mask that enhances softness and definition.
