Moroccan Ghassoul: Our herbalist guide for a hair and skin detox this summer

This unique volcanic clay, mined in the Atlas Mountains, acts like a magnet for impurities. Unlike harsh chemical cleansers, Ghassoul doesn't strip your skin: it cleanses through a physical process of adsorption, protecting the natural barrier of even the most sensitive skin and hair.

Discover how to use it and which exclusive botanical blend from BALLA Herbalist is right for you this season.

A collection of botanical fusions for every need

Because every hair and skin type deserves a tailor-made response, we have fused our pure Ghassoul (powder or tablets) with precious plant and mineral active ingredients:

2 Quick Summer Rituals

How to turn your BALLA powders into professional spa treatments at home:

1. The "Fresh Roots" Mud Shampoo (For oily, flat, or weighed-down hair)

Perfect for extending the time between washes by 2 to 3 days during your summer holidays.

• The Recipe: Mix 3 tablespoons of your favorite BALLA Ghassoul (Green Tea, Black Seed, or Henna work wonders here) with warm water or a hydrosol until it forms a smooth, rich paste.

• Application: Apply exclusively to damp roots. Gently massage with your fingertips to stimulate microcirculation.

• Leave-on time: Let it sit for 5 minutes. Important: Never let Ghassoul dry out completely on your hair! Mist with water if needed, then rinse thoroughly.

2. The "Sun Glow" Face Mask (Pore clearing & radiant complexion)

To clear out pores clogged by sunscreen and sweat while restoring your skin's natural, vibrant glow.

• The Recipe: Mix 1 tablespoon of Turmeric, Prickly Pear, or Nila Ghassoul with a teaspoon of warm water and a few drops of one of our light botanical oils.

• Application: Apply an even layer over the face, avoiding the eye area.

• Leave-on time: Leave for 5 to 7 minutes, then rinse with lukewarm water just before the clay begins to crack.
