Rhassoul (Ghassoul) – Another Moroccan beauty secret that is centuries old

Much like Amal Oils 100% Organic Argan Oil, Rhassoul is a Moroccan beauty product that has been used for centuries in Morocco. Rhassoul is the ultimate skin and hair detox treatment.

Moroccan Rhassoul Clay from the Atlas Mountains

Moroccan Rhassoul Clay is the ultimate skin and hair detox treatment


The product is ultra simple, and ultra amazing. Rhassoul is dried clay from deep below the Atlas Mountains in Morocco. It has been used for over 1400 years as a soap, shampoo and skin conditioner. Rhassoul clay is rich in minerals such as silica, magnesium, iron, calcium, potassium and sodium. It helps detoxify the skin while it exfoliates gently. Rhassoul is traditionally used in the hammam, public bath in Morocco, but can now be found in the finest spas around the world and in the bathrooms of the eco-beautiful.

Rhassoul clay is 100% naturally occuring.
Rhassoul is sometimes spelled Ghassoul, but they are the same. The quality of the clay can vary from brand to brand, depending on purity and the conditions under which it is mined. The clay is light gray/brown with a hue of pink (which is why it is occasionally referred to as red clay). It doesn’t have an odor and has the following characteristics:
Silica- 58%
Aluminum- 2.47%
Iron- 0.64%
Sodium- 2.3%
Magnesium- 25.2%
Calcium- 2.34%
Moisture- <8%

Prior to refinement, rhassoul appears as dried chunky earth. The rhassoul chunks are refined and micronized into a powder that is smooth and easy to use.

So who can use rhassoul? Just about anyone. Because it can be used for so many application, it is a must-have in your collection! It is the most effective clay of its kind for cleansing and detoxifying the skin and hair. I love using it on my face and my body, just as you would any other mask.
Rhassoul clay’s most impressive properties in skin improvement are its capacity of absorption and adsorption due to its high level of ion exchange.

Clinical studies have been conducted by two different research laboratories in the United States to evaluate Rhassoul use for skin conditions. The results of this single use Rhassoul study produced these findings….

* Reduces dryness (79%)
* Reduces flakiness (41%)
* Improves skin clarity (68%)
* Improves skin elasticity / firmness (24%)
* Improves skin texture (106%)
* Removes surface oil and oil from inside and around comedons
* Removes dead skin layers, resulting in a general smoothing of the surface skin
* In addition to the oil removal characteristics

After using rhassoul, it is important to rehydrate your skin and hair. Amal Oils 100% Organic Argan Oil is a great way to do just that. In Morocco, pure argan oil is used in the hammams as a way to rehydrate the skin after cleansing and detoxifying the skin with rhassoul clay.
