Ghassoul clay
Also known as Moroccan red clay and rhassoul clay.
Ghassoul clay is a fine, silky, pale grey powder with a hint of pink-brown. It is nutrient-dense and rich in minerals such as silica - known to help tone the skin and improve resilience, plus magnesium and calcium. It is highly esteemed for its cleansing, nourishing, exfoliating and rejuvenating properties. It is gentle and softening to the skin and known for its high absorption ratio. It has an excellent ion exchange ratio - to further facilitate cleansing and deodorising action.
Ghassoul comes from the Arabic word "ghassala", meaning "to wash". When moistened with water, or hydrosol, the feel on the skin is smooth and almost lubricating while also exfoliating and drawing. It feels almost as if soap has been applied, but without foaming - the perfect way to cleanse the face, body, or even hair, without soap or chemical surfactants.
General properties: abrasive [superfine]; absorbent; anti-caking agent; bulking agent; opacifying agent.
Clay has been used for thousands of years to stimulate, reinvigorate and rejuvenate the skin, cleanse and beautify, making them an ideal ingredient for skincare and natural beauty products.
To use clays:
To 1 tbsp of clay slowly add water, hydrosol or oil and mix into a paste.
Apply a thick coating to the face and/or body.
Leave on for 10 minutes.
Wash off with warm water.
Use your favourite oil or moisturiser to finish.
For best results steam clean the face to open pores before applying.
