What is Rhassoul Clay?
Rhassoul, also called ghassoul, is a mineral-rich clay traditionally sourced from Morocco and used in cleansing and personal-care products. It can absorb some surface oil, but it does not detoxify the body or remove impurities from deep within the skin.
Key Benefits for Skin
– Absorbs some surface oil: May temporarily reduce shine.
– Provides a cleansing option: Used in selected masks and wash-off products.
– Can complement occasional skincare: Not essential for maintaining healthy skin and should not replace moisturiser when needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does rhassoul clay detoxify skin?

Follow the product directions. Start occasionally, and reduce use if your skin feels tight or dry.
Should I let the mask crack on my face?
No need. Rinse it off according to the instructions, especially if it becomes uncomfortable or overly dry.
