Moroccan Ghassoul Clay (Rhassoul) Wholesale & Bulk
Extracted from exclusive subterranean deposits in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco, Ghassoul (Rhassoul) is a precious volcanic mineral clay used for over twelve centuries across North Africa. Naturally saponiferous, it cleanses by electrostatic absorption without disturbing the skin’s natural lipid mantle.

| Aluminum Oxide (Al2O3) | 2.0% – 4.5% (Very low aluminum content compared to bentonite/kaolin) |
| Calcium Oxide (CaO) | 1.5% – 3.0% (Cell renewal & epidermal hydration) |
| Iron Oxide (Fe2O3) | 1.0% – 2.0% (Microcirculation stimulation) |
| Potassium & Sodium (K2O / Na2O) | 0.5% – 1.8% (Osmotic balance) |
| Microbiological Standard | Aerobic mesophilic count < 100 CFU/g, Pathogen free, E. coli & Salmonella absent |
| Heavy Metals | Lead (Pb) < 10 ppm, Arsenic (As) < 3 ppm, Cadmium (Cd) < 0.5 ppm, compliant with EU regulations |
Multipurpose Natural Care: Face, Hair & Body
Ghassoul belongs to the stevensite smectite group. Its unique molecular structure carries a high negative ionic charge, while sebum, toxins, and environmental pollutants carry positive charges. When mixed with water, Ghassoul acts like a magnet, absorbing sebum and impurities into its expandable interlayer sheets without stripping moisture.
Clinical research demonstrates that Rhassoul reduces skin dryness, improves skin clarity, increases elasticity, and minimizes flakiness after single applications.
Key Professional Applications:
- Detoxifying Face Mask: Clears stubborn blackheads, unclogs congested pores, and tightens skin texture.
- Natural Volumizing Shampoo: Absorbs excess oil at the scalp roots, cleanses hair without surfactants, and adds remarkable volume.
- Full Body Hammam Wrap: Relieves tired muscles, remineralizes the epidermis, and leaves the skin feeling baby-soft.
- Scalp Soother: Eliminates dandruff flakes and soothes irritated, sensitive scalp conditions.
Preparation & Formula Recipes
In a non-metallic bowl (glass, ceramic, or wood), combine 2 tablespoons of Ghassoul powder with equal parts warm water or Moroccan rose water. Let stand for 2 minutes to self-hydrate into a creamy silk paste. Apply to skin or hair, leave for 8–10 minutes (do not let clay dry completely), then rinse with warm water.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Ghassoul and Bentonite or Kaolin clay?
Ghassoul has a higher magnesium and silica content and a lower aluminum content than bentonite. It possesses natural saponifying properties, meaning it gently cleanses like soap without stripping the skin.
Can Ghassoul be used as a natural shampoo?
Yes! It has been used as a natural hair wash for centuries. It removes oil and product buildup, calms scalp irritation, and leaves hair visibly thicker and full of volume.
Do you provide heavy metal lab reports for import approval?
Yes, every production batch is thoroughly tested by accredited laboratories for heavy metals (lead, arsenic, mercury, cadmium) and microbial safety to satisfy EU and FDA regulatory standards.
