Rhassoul is a medium absorber that swells when it meets water — it clears congestion without the tight, stripped feeling that harsher clays leave behind. Most clay masks work by absorption: the clay carries a charge that binds excess oil and surface debris, and as the mask dries it lifts that material off the skin. You rinse the clay away and what it grabbed goes with it. The difference is how aggressive the clay is. Bentonite and other strong absorbers keep pulling until the skin feels tight and dry. Rhassoul is a medium absorber that swells with water, so it holds some moisture against the skin while it cleans — which is why it suits normal, dry, and sensitive skin that congests but can’t tolerate a stronger mask. This is raw Moroccan rhassoul clay, sourced from the Atlas Mountains and sold by weight as a fine, silky powder. It is a single ingredient with nothing added — you mix it yourself with water, rosewater, or aloe into a fresh mask each time. The clay’s naturally occurring minerals include silica, magnesium, potassium, and calcium. Sold as powder rather than a pre-made jar, it skips the water, thickeners, and preservatives that fill a ready-mixed product. Who it is for 💧 Sensitive Skin For skin that gets tight or flaky after stronger masks. Rhassoul’s medium absorbency cleans without over-stripping. 🌟 Congested but Dry For normal-to-dry skin that still clogs. Clears pores while leaving more moisture behind than bentonite-type clays. 🫧 Face Mask A weekly clarifying mask. Mix to a smooth paste, apply, and rinse before it cracks hard. 🪶 Hair & Scalp Traditionally used as a hair and scalp cleanser. Mix into a paste, work through, and rinse out. [TODO: confirm hair-use instructions if promoting this use prominently] ⚜️ The Sampson Promise We are environmental engineers, not marketers. We chose rhassoul because it is the gentlest of the common clays — matched to skin that can’t take the aggressive ones. One ingredient, sold by weight, nothing added. Size 100g Form Raw Clay Powder Origin Moroccan, Atlas Mountains Absorbency Medium Key Minerals Silica, Mg, K, Ca Texture Fine, Silky Benefits 💧 Cleans without stripping Medium absorbency, swells with water Rhassoul is one of the gentlest common clays. Because it is a medium absorber and swells when mixed with water, it holds some moisture against the skin while it lifts oil and debris — so the skin feels clean rather than tight. This is the clay’s reason to exist: clearing congestion for people whose skin can’t tolerate a stronger mask. ⚡ Binds oil and surface debris Surface chemistry, not magic Clay carries a charge that attracts and binds excess sebum and the debris sitting on the skin’s surface. As the mask dries it lifts that material, and you rinse it all away together. No detox claims — just the surface adsorption that clays have been used for since long before the word existed. 🪶 Suits sensitive and acne-prone skin Gentlest of the common clays The live product description states rhassoul is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone. Its lower absorbency makes it a more forgiving choice than aggressive detox clays for reactive skin. Patch-test first if your skin is highly reactive. 🌍 Single ingredient, sold by weight No water, thickeners, or preservatives A pre-mixed clay jar is mostly water plus the thickeners and preservatives needed to keep it stable on a shelf. Buying the dry powder skips all of that: you mix a fresh mask each time, and you pay for clay rather than for water — cents per use. How to Use 1 Mix Combine roughly equal parts rhassoul powder and water in a non-metal bowl — about 1 tablespoon of each for one face mask. For extra comfort on dry skin, mix with rosewater or aloe instead of plain water. Stir to a smooth, lump-free paste. [TODO: confirm preferred ratio with supplier if a standard is specified] 2 Apply Spread an even layer over clean, slightly damp skin, avoiding the eye area. Leave on for 10–15 minutes. Do not let it dry to a hard, cracked crust — rinse while it is still slightly tacky to avoid over-drying. Sensitive skin: start at the shorter end. 3 Rinse & Repeat Rinse off with warm water and pat dry. Follow with a light oil or moisturizer. Use once or twice a week — not daily. Mix only what you need each time; a single mask uses very little powder, so a bag lasts a long while. Rinse before it cracks. The tight feeling people associate with clay comes from leaving the mask on until it dries hard — with rhassoul, you don’t need to. Use a non-metal bowl and spoon, as metal can interfere with the clay.
