This natural clay powder is extracted from ancient deposits in the Atlas mountains of northern Morocco where it is called "rhassoul,” and has been used for centuries for hair and body hammam (steam room) treatments. It is extraordinarily rich in minerals— including natural silica, magnesium, potassium, and calcium—and blends with water to smooth and purify face, skin, and hair. Studies have shown that it reduces dryness and flakiness, improves skin clarity and elasticity, and has an extractive effect to remove impurities and unblock pores.

Mix clay with warm water to make a smooth paste. Apply to skin or hair as a soap, skin conditioner, shampoo, or face and body mask. For mask, leave on for 8-10 minute for dry skin, 10-15 minutes for normal skin, and 15-20 minutes for oily skin. Rinse in tepid water. Use a washcloth or other gentle cleansing pad to remove any pore impurities that have been brought to the surface. Follow with argan oil to seal in the benefits and preserve the fine texture left by the clay treatment. Can be blended with argan oil or water.
