MOROCCAN RHASSOUL
Purifying, clarifying and softening
Originating in Morocco, where it is extracted from a unique quarry on the edge of the Middle Atlas mountains, around 200 km from the town of Fez, Rhassoul has been used for centuries by Oriental women to gently cleanse and care for their hair and skin. Even in the Middle Ages, it was traded throughout the Orient.
The word "Rhassoul" means "to wash" in Arabic, because this clay is saponifiable, meaning that it contains a large quantity of natural foaming saponins. Its cleansing action is completely different from that of a shampoo or soap. Instead of chemically modifying the surface tension of water (=surfactant), Rhassoul's cleansing action is purely physical.
Of all the Dermatology Clays, Rhassoul has the lowest aluminium oxide and calcium oxide content. This unique characteristic means it can be used as an eye contour Masks.
Rhassoul is suitable for all skin types: oily, dry, irritated, normal, sensitive, reactive, etc. It deeply cleanses the Skin without damaging it. It eliminates all impurities, particularly blackheads caused by sebum.
Rhassoul emulsifies naturally with water, absorbing impurities and excess sebum without damaging the skin's protective lipid film.
Rhassoul is also recommended for dry, devitalised hair, dandruff and scalp irritation. It does not attack the hair's protective sheath. Known for centuries for its cleansing and purifying properties, this Clay is also ideal for oily scalps, where it absorbs sebum and gently cleanses the hair without damaging it. Hair regains its shine, suppleness and tone.
