Fuller’s Earth, also known as bleaching clay, is a clay-like form of aluminum silicate that has been used for centuries due to its natural ability to absorb dirt and oil. Today, it is used as an absorbent and thickening agent in many personal care products. When applied to the skin and scalp, Fuller’s Earth provides a gentle exfoliation and helps remove dead skin and dandruff. Rhassoul clay is a brown clay that is found only in a valley in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco. The term "Rhassoul" comes from an Arabic word that means "to wash."Sometimes referred to as Moroccan red clay or Ghassoul clay, Rhassoul clay is a type of stevensite, a magnesium-rich clay that also contains other minerals and has been used as a cosmetic ingredient by various cultures for over a thousand years. Rhassoul clay is rich in metallic elements that carry a negative charge. This magnetic energy attracts positively charged toxins and binds with them, so that when the clay is washed off, the toxins are supposedly carried away with it. For this reason, Rhassoul clay is used as a detoxifying agent for skin and hair. Rhassoul clay contains silica, a component of sand. It also contains natural silicon dioxide, which can act as an exfoliant and give hair a shiny luster. The luffa cylindrica seed oil, derived from the Luffa Cylindrica plant (a relative of the cucumber), is rich in flavonoids, making it a powerful antioxidant that helps protect hair and skin from environmental damage when applied externally. Additionally, it is a soothing emollient oil and is said to promote wound healing due to its high arginine content.
