Cooling Rhassoul Clay (Moroccan Lava Clay) Hair & Scalp Mask Recipe
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Moroccan Lava Clay (also known as Rhassoul Clay)
- 1 tsp aloe vera powder
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup demineralised or filtered water (removes the chlorine)
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 tbsp jojoba oil
- 10 drops pure peppermint essential oil
Method
- Mix all the ingredients together to form a smooth paste, adding the water slowly and adjusting for desired texture.
How To Use
Wet hair. Massage a handful of clay mixture into the scalp. Start at the roots and then work your way down to the ends until all hair is well coated. Leave in for 5-10 minutes (do not let dry!) and rinse out thoroughly with warm water. Note: This recipe makes a very generous amount. There is easily enough for one application in long hair. For short hair you could halve this amount. Recipe inspired by Organic OliviaDisclaimer

We will, however, offer a refund if the raw DIY ingredient packaging is broken or leaking, or the ingredient itself appears to be ‘off'.
Before using any raw DIY ingredient for the first time, please first research that ingredient's potential benefits as well as safety precautions and possible side effects. Check with your medical professional if you have any concerns.
If you have severe acne, very sensitive skin, or another skin concern or health condition, we recommend seeking medical advice before using any new product on your skin, whether that be a raw ingredient, a DIY product you've made yourself, or a commercially formulated product.
Please exercise caution when using essential oils. If you are pregnant or have any kind of health or skin condition, we recommend you speak to your doctor before use. Essential oils are highly concentrated liquids, so use in moderation. Pure essential oils should never be used directly on the skin and should never be ingested. When using an essential oil for the first time, do a skin patch test. Each essential oil is unique and may not be suited to everyone. Please research potential benefits as well as safety precautions before using any essential oil. Some essential oils may interfere with medication. Check with your medical professional if you have any concerns.
