Moroccan Rhassoul - Spa Quality Cosmetic Clay 100g

Exquisite, spa-quality clay, ancient in heritage and recently given the prestigious EU EcoCert nod, confirming it organic, is now in South Africa! Sourced from deep within the Atlas Mountains in Morocco, this gorgeously silky Rhassoul clay has been used for over l,400 years as soap, shampoo and skin conditioner and the finest spas across the globe currently utilize it for therapeutic benefits.

Cleansing and detoxifying skin and scalp, Rhassoul clarifies by drawing out impurities from the pores, absorbing excess sedum and refining skin texture. Unlike any other clay, Rhassoul's most impressive properties in skin improvement are its capacity of absorption (draw out) and adsorption (add back) vital trace minerals such as silica, magnesium, potassium and calcium due to its high level of ion exchange. Clinical studies conducted by two different research laboratories in the United States and the National Institute of Phytotherapy in Paris evaluated Rhassoul's use for skin conditions. The results of these studies produced these findings - Rhassoul clay, after only a single use:

• 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 comedones
• Removes dead skin layers resulting in a general smoothing of the surface skin

In addition to the oil removal characteristics

When first mined, Rhassoul clay appears as a polished, brown, seal-like nugget, which is chunky in appearance and resembling rocks. After further refinement and micronisation, the end product is a smooth almost silken earth, which swells once hydrated. Its very nature invites experimenting; hydrating it with plant hydrosols, aloe vera gel or even goat milk and its slippery, soapy quality makes it invaluable for body and facial massage. Now every day can be a spa treat for you!
