Rhassoul clay (Moroccan lava clay) is derived from the Atlas
mountains. It has been used for
centuries by the population of North Africa as a mask, exfoliant, and hair
conditioner. It is also known as ghassoul, Moroccan clay, red clay, red Moroccan clay, or oxide clay.
It is a fantastic facial mask, helping clean out pores,
tighten the skin, reduce dryness, and improve clarity and elasticity. It is rich in magnesium (21%) and silica
(about 55%), while also containing iron, calcium, and potassium. The use as a facial mask helps draw out
impurities, reduce redness and swelling, while toning and firming the
skin.

Here are some
comments from people who have used the clay:
Totally awesome! I made face mask with this clay, once a
week since a month now, and my skin feel fresh, not irritated and so soft! It's
perfect for sensitive skin liked mine. I just can't stop using it!
I just love this clay! I tried it as a face mask and the
results were amazing. It cleaned up my pores and left my skin soft, smooth and
toned.
This is an amazing clay. I make my mask mixing this clay
with hemp oil, rose water and a combination of my favorite essential oils. I am
very satisfied with the results and the clay.
This Moroccan Clay is spectacular ! It really stimulates the
circulation, exfolliates & energizes the skin, when used as a masque with
other ingredients. It is one of the main components in my Biblical historical
masque that I love!
For the skin, as is, mixed with a floral water, it is very
effective : closes the pores, deeply cleans and tones. It never leaves to the
skin a dry feeling. This is one of the best products for all types of skin.
