Rhassoul clay (ghassoul)

Mineral-Rich Volcanic Clay • Detoxifying • Skin & Hair Conditioner

Rhassoul Clay, also known as Ghassoul Clay, is a luxurious, mineral-rich clay mined from ancient deposits in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco. Renowned for its high silica, magnesium, potassium, and calcium content, Rhassoul is prized for its gentle cleansing, oil-absorbing, and nourishing effects on both skin and hair. Unlike harsher clays, Rhassoul purifies without stripping moisture, making it ideal for sensitive, dry, oily, or acne-prone skin.
