Atlas Ghassoul clay: the “cleanser without a cleanser”

Ghassoul (or rhassoul) is no ordinary clay: it is a volcanic clay formed over millions of years in the geological layers of the Moroccan High Atlas.

Rich in minerals

Its content of magnesium, silicon, potassium and iron is inimitable. It absorbs excess sebum and impurities without stressing the skin.

Cleanse without stripping

Ghassoul cleanses without soap, without chemical surfactants and without disturbing the skin barrier — ideal for sensitive skin.

The hammam ritual

Mix the Atlas Purifying Veil with a little warm water, apply to face, scalp or body, leave on for 10 minutes then rinse.
