— Why clay? —
Ghassoul is renowned for its rich mineral content, which contributes to its numerous benefits for skin and hair:
Silica
Approximately 60% of ghassoul clay is composed of silica, which helps to strengthen and smooth the skin and hair.
- Skin – silica helps to strengthen the skin’s connective tissues, promoting firmness and elasticity. It also aids in the regeneration of skin cells, leading to a smoother and more youthful complexion
- Hair – silica strengthens hair strands, reducing breakage and promoting healthy growth. It also adds shine and improves the overall texture of the hair
Magnesium
Making up around 25% of the clay, magnesium is essential for maintaining healthy skin by reducing inflammation and providing hydration.
- Skin – magnesium has anti-inflammatory properties that help calm irritated skin and reduce redness. It also supports hydration by improving the skin’s barrier function, preventing moisture loss
- Hair – magnesium helps to strengthen hair follicles, reducing hair loss and promoting healthier, thicker hair
Calcium
About 2.3% of the clay is calcium, which is vital for skin regeneration and maintaining the skin’s natural barrier.
- Skin – calcium is essential for skin regeneration and repair. It helps to maintain the skin’s natural barrier, keeping it hydrated and protected from environmental damage
- Hair – calcium strengthens hair and helps to prevent hair loss. It also supports the overall health of the scalp
Sodium
Also around 2.3%, sodium helps to balance the skin’s moisture levels.
- Skin – sodium helps to balance the skin’s moisture levels, ensuring it stays hydrated and supple. It also aids in the absorption of other beneficial minerals
- Hair – sodium helps to cleanse the scalp and hair, removing excess oils and build-up without stripping away natural moisture
Iron
Present at about 0.5%, iron contributes to the clay’s colour and helps to improve skin tone and texture.
- Skin – iron improves blood circulation, which can enhance the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the skin. This helps to improve skin tone and texture, giving it a healthy glow
