INCI: Moroccan Lava Clay

Rhassoul Clay Powder is a natural mineral clay also known as Ghassoul Clay or Moroccan Lava Clay. It has a distinctive reddish-brown colour and is commonly used in face masks, clay cleansers, and scalp treatments where a fresh, balanced feel is wanted. This is a dry powder ingredient rather than a ready-to-use mask, so it needs to be mixed into a suitable paste or formula before use. It is especially useful in skin and hair routines that enjoy the feel of mineral clays.

♡ Why we love it: We choose to stock Rhassoul Clay Powder because it is one of those versatile clay staples that works beautifully across masks, cleansers, and scalp treatments. It has a richer mineral character than some lighter clays and gives DIY makers a useful multi-purpose option for both skin and hair care.

Trying Rhassoul clay

I am extremely happy and surprised at how well this clay wors as a hair wash! I do however just want to find a way to naturally condition my hair along with the clay to be more bouncy. I went from washing every other day to washing every 5 days with rhassoul clay! I only mixed it with water and use it for my face as well. I have fine thin hair with a dry itchy scalp and very dry ends although my roots tend to show oil very fast.

Rhassoul Clay

Great product. I mixed a scalp mask, using Rhassoul clay, glycerin and a few drops of Teatree oil. After one treatment my itchy scalp has stopped!

Rhassoul clay

It's the first time I ever used rhassoul clay as a shampoo. It works better than I expected. I have Very dry curly hair and it is difficult to find products that works well with my hair and does not damage or dry it out even more. Rhassoul clay is very gentle yet cleansing.

Rhassoul Clay 500g

The packaging was perfect, the quality of the clay is fine leaves my hair clean, not stripped off its oils and tangle free. This is my go to product. The quantity is fine for the price, but if you are like me and have decided to completely move away from commercial Shampoo be aware that you need to buy 1kg above as the clay will last you longer.
