Rhassoul (also known as ghassoul) is a variety of clay whose only deposit on Earth is in Morocco. On the edge of the Middle Atlas mountain range, in the province of Boulemane, south of the Fès region.
In 1936, French geologist Jacques de Lapparent identified the origin of rhassoul. Resulting from the weathering of volcanic rocks dating from the Upper Oligocene, 25 million years ago.
Listed in the classification of brown clays, rhassoul belongs to the smectite group.
Its two main components are silica, in the form of silicon dioxide (around 55% of its mass) and magnesium, in the form of magnesium oxide (around 20% of its mass).
It was then sold in the souks, as part of the ritual care required in hammams. Moroccan women have handed down its uses for skin and hair care from mother to daughter.
In the official INPI list of ingredients used in cosmetics (International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients), it is named MOROCCAN LAVA CLAY. It’s true that the word rhassoul, in Arabic, literally means “earth that washes”.
Rhassoul powder is purifying, cleansing, detoxifying, decongesting, softening and soothing all at once.
These properties also apply to the scalp. Rhassoul is particularly recommended for oily hair and greasy dandruff. It absorbs excess sebum and adds volume to hair.
For skin care, it is active in cases of: oily skin, problem skin, acne, blackheads, impurities.
It’s easy to see why rhassoul has been so successful outside hammams, and is now a popular feature of SPAS and beauty salons in the West.
