What is Rhassoul Clay & Why is It Ideal for Naturally Cleaning Skin & Hair?
Rhassoul clay, found only deep beneath the Atlas Mountains in Morocco, has been used for over 1,400 years as a natural beauty treatment for skin and hair-even nobles in ancient Rome and Egypt took advantage of this remarkable beautifying clay.
Color is in general brown to brown green, and the high quality we supply to you is an unique mine in Morocco giving a very white and very pure clay.
What Makes Rhassoul Clay Unique?
This clay is a smectic (or swelling) clay, it's official name is HECTORITE, and the official name for cosmetics (INCI) is “Moroccan Clay”, which means that it's extremely absorbent-much more so than other cosmetic clays.
In fact, it's made up of three layers with a water layer sandwiched in between. This clay has a unique ability to absorb tremendous amounts of water, which makes it ideal for cleansing and detoxifying the skin.
Rhassoul clay contains higher percentages of silica, magnesium, potassium, calcium and other trace minerals than other clays. These minerals make the clay highly detoxifying as they can actually exchange themselves for toxic compounds like metals in the skin. So the clay not only works to remove impurities from your skin. It also replaces them with nourishing trace minerals. And, the clay's high level of ions exchange makes it ideal for toning and enriching the skin.
But perhaps the best part about Rhassoul clay is what it doesn't contain: no petrochemical derivatives, no synthetic preservatives, no surfactants or artificial colors ... all of which are common in commercial soaps and cleansers.
How is Rhassoul Clay Used?
