Rhassoul clay – a natural clay with a long tradition in hair care
Rhassoul clay, also called Ghassoul or Moroccan clay, is a natural mineral-rich clay that has been used in North Africa for over 1400 years for skin and hair care. This unique clay from the Atlas Mountains in Morocco is known for its ability to cleanse, absorb excess oil, and add volume without drying out. We use Rhassoul clay in our White Flower Shampoo bar to balance the scalp and provide natural volume.
What is Rhassoul clay?
Rhassoul clay is a natural volcanic clay extracted from deep layers in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco. Unlike many other clays, Rhassoul clay undergoes no chemical treatment – it is simply sun-dried and ground into a fine powder. This preserves all its natural minerals and properties.

Rhassoul clay is exceptionally rich in minerals:
- Silica – Strengthens hair and adds shine
- Magnesium – Promotes hair growth and strengthens
- Calcium – Strengthens the hair strand
- Potassium – Moisturizes and balances
- Iron – Nourishes the scalp

Rhassoul clay has a unique ability to absorb dirt, oil, and impurities from hair and scalp without using chemical cleansers. It cleans gently but effectively.

Rhassoul clay is perfect for oily hair because it absorbs excess sebum from the scalp. Hair stays fresh longer without drying out.

Rhassoul clay helps balance the scalp’s pH and sebum production. This can reduce dandruff and irritation.
