A Traditional Moroccan Treatment at Your Doorstep
Ghassoul (also known as rhassoul) is a natural, mineral-rich clay mined exclusively in Morocco. Used for centuries by Moroccan women, it is celebrated for its extraordinary ability to cleanse, purify, and nourish the skin without causing irritation.
Our mobile service includes the meticulous preparation of this clay, scented with rosewater or orange blossom water, followed by a targeted application. Suitable for all skin types, including the most sensitive, this versatile treatment can be customized for your body, face, or hair.
What to Expect During a Ghassoul Treatment
- Skin Preparation: A warm shower to open up the pores.
- Mixing the Ghassoul: Our therapist blends the natural clay with warm floral water to create a smooth, creamy paste.
- Application: The paste is gently applied in an even layer over the selected areas.
- Resting Period: A relaxing 10 to 15-minute pause allows the active minerals to work their magic deep down.
- Rinsing: A thorough rinse with clean water to reveal soft, glowing skin.
- Finishing Hydration: A light application of argan oil to lock in moisture.
The Many Benefits and Uses of Ghassoul
Ghassoul for the Body
Used as a body wrap, ghassoul draws out impurities and refines skin texture. It is the perfect treatment to restore a silky-smooth feel.
Ghassoul for the Face
Applied as a facial mask, it regulates sebum production, tightens pores, and revives skin fatigued by travel or sun exposure.
Ghassoul for the Hair
As a hair mask, this clay gently cleanses the scalp, boosting volume and shine without weighing down your hair.
Ghassoul as Part of a Hammam Ritual
This is the soothing final step of the Moroccan hammam ritual, traditionally applied right after the kessa glove exfoliation to remineralize the newly revealed skin.

Ghassoul adapts beautifully to your unique needs. Here is how to select your perfect treatment:

Our therapists are happy to provide personalized advice on-site to tailor the application to your skin’s specific needs.
Ghassoul, Moroccan Hammam, and Black Soap: What is the Difference?
Ghassoul
This is a therapeutic clay. Rather than exfoliating, its purpose is to draw out impurities, restore essential minerals, and leave the skin incredibly soft.
Black Soap
Moroccan black soap is an olive-based paste used as the initial step. It softens dead skin cells to prepare the body for exfoliation.
Kessa Glove Scrub
This is the physical exfoliation that follows the black soap. The textured glove is used to scrub away and physically remove dead skin.
Moroccan Hammam
A hammam refers to the entire traditional ritual (steam, black soap, scrub, and often finishing with ghassoul) performed in a warm, humid environment.
