Today Rhassoul can be found in a few, high quality, international skin care products and is also used for purifying body and face masks by spas. HumiNature Rhassoul clay leaves the hair and skin unbelievably clean by removing excess oils and toxins. Leaves the skin and hair smooth, moisturized, clean, clear, firm and fresh. Rhassoul clay is an ancient clay that was formed under the mountains in Morocco in Northern Africa. The clay deposits are deeply buried which makes them very difficult to mine. In Ancient Rome and Egypt, Rhassoul has been used to naturally shampoo hair as it pulls out oil and debris. In Arabic the actual pronunciation of ghassool begins with a ghain, a sound highly difficult to emulate by native English speakers. For this reason many native English speakers have changed the pronunciation to a ra sound pronouncing it as rhassoul.
Rhassoul clay has a long history of use in beauty care. It has been used for over 1400 years as a soap, shampoo and skin conditioner. It was used in ancient Rome and Egypt by the nobility. Today, it is a favorite with the finest spas and resorts worldwide. When first mined, Rhassoul clay is a brown, chunky soap-like clay. HumiNature Rhassoul is further refined and micronized. Micronized Rhassoul Clay yields a product that is finer and less textured than the common grade. Micronized Rhassoul Clay is well suited for more delicate applications like facial masks. The resulting powder is smooth and almost silky when rubbed between the fingers. This creates a fine, smooth paste that looks like chocolate pudding and feels wonderful going on as a mask.
Rhassoul is invaluable for spa treatments and for personal use. Its extraordinary power of absorption makes it more effective than other clays for cleansing, detoxifying, and general skin treatment. Rhassoul clay is extremely rich in trace minerals. These minerals detoxify the skin using by extracting a variety of skin pollutants.
Rhassoul can be used as soap, skin conditioner, shampoo, and facial and body mask and it washes like soap and leaves a unique, sweet scent on the skin. Rhassoul contains higher percentages of silica and magnesium along with potassium and calcium, than other clays. Therefore, Rhassoul is very effective. In addition to this, due to its greater smectic qualities, (its ability to swell when water is added) Rhassoul achieves better results in skin treatment.
Clinical studies have been conducted on Rhassoul. In general Rhassoul:- Reduces dryness
- Reduces flakiness
- Improves skin clarity
- Improves skin elasticity / firmness
- Improves skin texture
- Removes surface oil and oil from inside and around clogged pores
- Removes dead skin layers, resulting in a general smoothing of the surface skin

Facial Clay for Problem Skin!
January 7, 2012
As an adult having to deal with acne can be a bit cumbersome. I've tried so many different products and have gone to four different dermatologists and spent hundreds of dollars on both over the counter (Proactive & Obaji skin care systems) and of course the doctor prescribe medicines nothing and I mean nothing has produced better results. The ingredients contained in Rhassoul Clay really works. After a two weeks ( I give a product 30 days) I really began to see a difference in my skin. My skin is brighter and have a very clean look (it's the best way I can describe the feeling). Since adding this to my facial regimen my skin tone continues to become more even and has helped me win the battle again adult acne. I use this product once a week. Although the jars are small it's worth every dime. I use this product and the HumiNature w/DMAE.

I have dreads and this is the best cleansing product I've used since my transition. Leaves my hair feeling clean and soft. No need for for mutiple washes and/or multiple products. Bonus is that it is also is a great facial mask.

Cleans, Softens, and Detangles
June 1, 2012
I used the clay twice on my hair and it was amazing my hair felt clean and was easier to comb through. my hair also felt softer after using it. I have used it on my face twice, my face does feel clean but I think it is too soon to see the real difference. Overall the Rhassoul Clay is a very good product that is good to have and you don't have to use that much I have used it four different times and I have very thick hair, and I still have plenty more.

I use this clay on my face once a week. My skin is combination (T-zone oiliness).
I mix the clay with rose water (a little clay goes a long way) and sometimes I add a tsp. of plain yogurt.
While I have it on, it just feels like it's deep-cleaning my skin. Now, I don't know if it really is or not---
but when I rinse it off, my skin is smooth and 'brighter' in some way. It works for me.

smooth results
March 21, 2011
I have used the clay three times and the results are the same ... your skin is so smooth and clean. Rhassoul Clay pulls out the impurities, a small amount goes a long way. Next I will try it on hair.

I Love it!!!
February 24, 2011
This product is amazing. It left my face feeling really soft, fresh, healthy and with a beautiful glow. I can actually feel it working as it tightened my skin--felt like a mini facial. I use it once a week for beautiful looking skin. It also works great on sensitive skin.

Makes a Wonderful Home-Made Spa Treatment!
March 28, 2010
I'll admit that I purchased this out of desperation rather than on a consumer informed, shopping whim in the hopes of looking for something that will help clear my facial skin. This year's harsh winter has really done a number on my skin. I researched the quickest thing to detoxing skin and found out about this clay. It really does what it is famous for, sucking out all of the impurities from my face. It was quite easy to mix: warm water+clay, then stir. After about an hour, I washed the clay off and my skin baby soft with all of the red splotches gone. I will definitely continue to purchase this clay from Treasuredlocks. I only hope the site will import more clays such as Bentonite or French Green Clay (hint, hint).

Rhassoul Clay

I truly love this clay mask, very easy to prepare, and you can use all over your body. I tried it on my hair and left it very soft. Also good for people with sensitive skin.

Review for
March 8, 2007
I used the Rhassoul Clay as a facial -- I looks at my face I thought I looked brighter right away.. The next day a close friend commented that I looked lighter... Great Product. I'm going to try it as a shampoo.
