Moroccan Clay: A Millennia-Old Beauty Treasure
Used for centuries in Moroccan beauty rituals, clay is a natural ingredient with exceptional properties. At Trésors By Ninel, we offer two types of traditional clay: Nila clay and Aker Fassi clay. Discover their unique benefits and how to use them.
What is Moroccan Clay?
Moroccan clay is a natural white clay extracted from the Atlas Mountains. Rich in essential minerals, it is mixed with traditional ingredients such as Nila (indigo) or Aker Fassi (dried poppy) to create purifying and beautifying masks.

Nila clay is perfect for oily, combination, or blemish-prone skin. It is also suitable for dull skin that needs radiance.
