Skin Benefit
Volcanic clay from the Atlas Mountains. A deep but gentle clean, without the tight finish.
Spiritual Benefit
Mined and used in North African hammam traditions for centuries. One of the oldest bathing clays.
The record
In use for 1,000+ years
Origin
One valley of the Atlas Mountains in Morocco, and nowhere else.
Harvested
Mined from seams beneath the Atlas, sun-dried, and milled.
Cultural impact
The clay of the hammam. Moroccan bath culture built a whole ritual around rhassoul for skin and hair, and wedding preparations still call for it.
Traditional use
Mixed with water into a smooth paste for washing body and hair, the centerpiece of the Moroccan bath.
