Properties and Uses: Ghassoul clay contains silica, aluminum, magnesium, calcium, potassium, and other minerals. This mineral blend supports the natural balance of the skin and hair. In face masks, it helps absorb excess oil, clean pores, and smooth the skin. In hair care products, it cleanses hair roots, removing excess oil and impurities. In body care products, it leaves the skin soft and clean. In exfoliants, it smooths and renews the skin surface.

Physical Structure: It is dark brown or reddish-brown in color. The color may vary depending on the mineral content of the clay. It is fine and powdery. It is not affected by light and high temperatures. It remains stable over a wide pH range.

Recommended pH range: For face masks and cleansers, the recommended pH is in the range of 4.5-5.5. In face masks and cleansers, this pH range ensures skin compatibility and effective cleansing, maintaining the skin's natural acidic pH balance. In exfoliants and scrub products, the pH should be in the range of 4.5-7.0. A pH in this range gently removes dead skin cells while protecting the skin barrier and minimizing the risk of irritation. In hair care products, a pH in the range of 4.0-6.0 maintains the hair's natural pH balance and supports scalp health, preventing excessive alkalinity on the scalp. For body care products, a pH of 4.5-6.0 is suitable. Within this range, effective cleansing and care are provided for the skin, while also preserving its natural balance.

Solubility: Ghassoul clay is insoluble in water. When mixed with water, it forms a suspension. It is insoluble in organic solvents. This prevents the clay from dissolving in oil and other organic solvents, but this does not prevent its use in formulations, as it is sufficient to mix the clay with water. Ghassoul clay disperses effectively in emulsions and gels. Appropriate mixing and dispersion techniques are used for this purpose. It can be used to increase the consistency of products and improve their aesthetic properties. To ensure stable dispersion of Ghassoul clay in formulations, stabilizers or dispersing agents can be used.

Function: Helps regulate the skin's sebum balance. Deeply cleanses pores, making the skin appear smoother and more even. In exfoliants and facial cleansers, it supports skin smoothing and renewal. It can function as a binder and stabilizer in cosmetic formulations. It can help maintain the pH balance of skincare products. It supports the skin's natural acidic pH balance.

Recommended usage rate: For face masks, the recommended rate is between 5-20%. Higher rates provide effective cleansing and mattifying. In cleansers, kaolin clay at 1-10% provides a cleansing effect while maintaining the skin's natural balance. In exfoliating products, kaolin clay at 2-10% is suitable. In hair care and skin care products, it can be used at a rate of 1-5%.
