Moroccan clay Ghassoul - volcanic

The clay has the ECOCERT certificate 

Natural clays nourish and rejuvenate your cells and tissues, therefore, they are a wonderful cosmetic ingredient for skin care. Our Moroccan Ghassoul clay is a 100% natural mineral which creates a dense muddy-like mixture when mixed with water. 

The Ghassoul Clay, also known as volcanic clay, is the oldest natural cosmetic for skin and hair care.  It is recommended for every complexion, especially sensitive, oily, acne and dirty. It has perfect washing and foaming properties. When used it removes toxins and excess of sebum. It can be used as a soap, shampoo, facial and body mask, and for spa treatments. Additionally, it makes skin more firm and alleviates inflammatory conditions.  

The clay may be mixed with orange blossom water, rose water and essential oils which enhances its moistening properties and improves fragrance.

The addition of argan oil to the clay will increase its nutritional and smoothing properties.

Properties: 

The Ghassoul Clay has very delicate cleansing properties which allow it to absorb impurities, fat, and sebum. It is a gentle, non-aggressive product for the care of facial skin, your body and hair.  Additionally, it improves skin firmness and alleviates inflammatory conditions.  

Mineral Composition of the Clay

• silica (55-65%), 
• magnesium oxide(<21%),
• aluminium oxide (<5%),
• sodium,
• potassium and other microelements and mineral salts  

Use:

It is recommended to enrich clay masks with e.g. oils as it prevents them from drying on the skin and eventual irritations.

To make it easier, prepare your mask using cream base:

• 1 spoonful of cream base (ca. 15);

Mix the clay with water and pour the created suspension into the cream base. Mix everything and add a few droplets of oil in the end according to your preference (one may avoid using oil in case of oily skin).

The application of mask is very easy when using a spatula and the same applies to its removal from the face.

Put it on your face and leave it there for 5 minutes (the mask may dry out and crack during that time). Wash off with a lot of lukewarm water. Use once a week.

-— oily and acne skin — mix the clay with a herbal tea (yarrow, snake grass, hypericum or chamomile). It may be enriched with honey, lemon juice or apple cider vinegar.

• complete — mix 300 g of clay with warm water in the bathtub

   

Warm Compress:

The clay paste (the same ratio as in the case of mask) is used on the affected area (e.g. joints, muscles, throat or forehead) and wrapped with a wet, warm towel.
