Ingredient Insight - Rhassoul Clay

Rhassoul clay is found deep under the Atlas Mountains in Morocco. It has very powerful absorption properties making it extremely effective at cleansing and detoxifying (removing pollutants and toxins), yet it is very gentle.  Unlike other clays Rhassoul is not as drying on the skin so it is a prefect choice for people with dry skin.

Rhassoul is also extremely rich in minerals such as silicon, magnesium and potassium, which aid detoxification and help the skin to absorb and retain moisture effectively.

It is also sometimes known as soap clay and can be used for washing in place of soap and shampoo. It is an effective skin and hair conditioner.  I've been using it lately in place of shampoo on my much-neglected hair which has become dry and brittle and I can already see a marked improvement.

Clinical studies that have been conducted on rhassoul, show that in general it:
- Reduces dryness and flaking;
- Improves skin clarity;
- Improves skin elasticity/firmness;
- Absorbs excess oil and helps to unclog pores;
- Improves skin smoothness by removing surface dead skin.

         

We use Rhassoul in our Conditioning Shampoo Bar and Hydrating Face Mask and I have one of each to give away. Just leave a comment, and one person will be chosen at random to receive this pair of goodies.  The giveaway closes at midnight on Monday 11th June.
