Untreated Ghassoul Certified by Ecocert

Four years ago, on the occasion of staying in an ecovillage, I discovered that I could abandon my organic shampoo in its plastic packaging and its endless list of ingredients in original latin which are beyong understanding for me. Rassal clay replaces very advantageously the soap and provides in-credible softness to hair and skin because its function is completely different from a detergent (shampoo or soap).

Stripping the skin and hair or feeding them?
What we are offering at high consumption level, organic or not, is to clean regularly the skin and hair up (to strip them!) with detergents destroying the first protective barrier of our body, the very thin hydrolipidic film on the surface of the skin whose function is to protect the skin against the sun, the wind, the external poisonous chemicals as well as the dehydration of the inside to the outside. This film is the first agent of the epidermis immune system.

Detergents will also, at the same time, change the skin ecosystem by altering the pH in particular, and cause disturbances in the saprophytic wildlife, attacking the stratum corneum of the epidermis and enables water and various other substances contained in the used detergent, whether it is soap or shampoo, to penetrate deeper into the epidermis. Some of these substances will have a beneficial contribution, others will damage the skin or be toxic, allergenic, dehydrating. Sensitive skins know it well... we offer then to moisturize our skin with moisturizers, the solution for the problem that we create from scratch!

How many normal skin became dry by dint of cleaning? The elimination of the hydrolipidic film indeed causes dehydration that we feel as soon as we are dry: a sensation of dry skin pulling.
