Cosmetic features of the product

Rassoul is a natural mineral product, mainly consisting of stevensite, and clay ore consisting of magnesium silicate.

Once mixed and dispersed in water, Rassoul turns into mud and plays the role of a cleaner and grease remover thanks to its high cation-exchange properties. Its method of action works only through adsorption and therefore has no negative effect on hands, skin, hair or mucous membranes.

Rhassoul absorbs water at 1.66 times its own weight (15g of ghassoul can absorb 25ml of water). Once hydrated, Rassoul swells to a volume of 35 ml.
