LavaErde Powder

It is a non-surfactant earth powder that can be used to clean hair. It's high mineral content attracts dirt and oils to it, and they are rinsed away with warm water. This non-detergent formula is perfect for those who want a totally natural hair cleanser. No essential oils or base oils added. Some may even like this product to mask or deep clean the skin.

LavaErde is a natural clay compound mined in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco. More commonly known as Rhassoul, LavaErde has been the traditional skin and hair cleanser throughout North Africa for many centuries. In the middle ages it was a favored commodity of the caravan trade throughout the entire Near East, and was generally included in bridal dowries. Even today the royal family of Morocco maintains a private mine for the court's own needs. Soaps and shampoos clean by reducing the surface tension of water, allowing the water to rinse away dirt and oil particles more effectively. LavaErde cleans in a totally different way. When combined with water, the tiny clay particles of LavaErde swell to form a gel. Thanks to the large interior surface area of the gel, and to the electrical charges of the clay particles, the LavaErde develops an enormous absorption capacity. It binds particulates and excessive oils much as an ink blotter works. Washing with LavaErde never completely removes the oils in your hair and skin, as aggressive shampoos or soaps often do. Nor will LavaErde strip the protective layers of your skin and hair, or irritate your skin's sebaceous glands.

LAVAERDE HAS MANY ADVANTAGES:

LAVAERDE FOR MANY HAIR TYPES:

LavaErde is an excellent cleanser for all hair types. However, its unique properties make it especially helpful for problem hair conditions:

FOR DANDRUFF AND OILY HAIR:
Because LavaErde removes dandruff and oil very gently, without irritating the scalp or removing excess oil, problems with dandruff and oily hair can be gradually reduced.

FOR SENSITIVE AND IRRITABLE SCALP:
LavaErde cleans in a completely non-irritating method, and contains no active ingredients, surfactants, or other aggressive ingredients.

FOR FINE AND FLY-AWAY HAIR:
LavaErde provides hair increased volume, body and luster.

LAVAERDE FOR SENSITIVE SKIN:
Due to its extremely mild cleansing action, LavaErde is especially suitable for sensitive skin. Complicated formulas and strong active ingredients can overtax the skin's self-corrective capabilities. Sensitive skin then reacts with reddish blotches or other signs of irritation. Cleansing with LavaErde does not disturb the skin's acidic protective mantle or its many sebaceous glands.

FEEDBACK: I have used this powder in my hands, added hydrosol or fresh water and mixed it to a thin consistency. I use it as a mask somewhat like a thin mud mask. It is very dry and those with oily skin will love the tight feel it gives to the skin. I use it in a thicker manner when doing a hair / scalp mask. It does help as often our scalp does not sloth off skin as it should, and this can contribute to dandruff. This powder formula is great for those who like to mix as you can add your own essential oils. It does have an earthy smell.
