Moroccan Rhassoul Clay & Green Illite Clay

This beautiful, dusty colored clay originates in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco. Moroccan Rhassoul Clay boasts superior drawing abilities, making it ideal for oily skin formulations, body wraps, and detoxification. Like its spearmint colored counterparts, Bentonite Clay and French Green Clay, it should not be used more than once per week.

Moroccan Rhassoul Clay has been treasured for centuries by beauticians, nobles, and royalty. From ancient Egypt to modern spas worldwide, Rhassoul is a traditional ingredient in natural skincare. You can pamper yourself at home using the same mineral rich, detoxifying clay. Rhassoul Clay has a superb texture that blends easily with other ingredients. This dusty beige clay can be used in a facial to gently exfoliate, reduce redness, and improve skin's texture and clarity.

Green Illite Clay is another ingredient with a strong drawing ability. It is best used for oily skin and hair, and should be avoided by those with dry or sensitive skin. Similar to Montmorillonite Clay, Green Illite does not expand in water, making it an ideal additive for soaps, scrubs, and liquid formulas. This clay should not be used more than once per week, even by those with oily skin. Be sure to moisturize well after using strong clays, such as Green Illite or Moroccan Rhassoul.

I have been eyeing the Moroccan Rhassoul clay lately. Far a facial mask, what would be needed? Warm water?

Hi Fanta. For a basic face mask, warm water will make a good wetting agent. You can also wet the clay with a hydrosol, dead sea water, fruit juice, yogurt, vegetable oil, or a mix of these kinds of items. Adding a special wetting agent gives you the chance to create a mask that is tailored to your specific skincare needs. It is also a fun way to experiment with new ingredients.

Great! That's a good variety of options.
