LOGONA Mineral Cleansers
Surfactant free alternatives
Rhassoul and Kaolin are natural clay compounds that offer very gentle, non-sudsing alternatives to soap and shampoo. Rhassoul is mined only in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco, and has been used for centuries throughout the Middle East as a skin and hair cleanser. Kaolin is a white, iron-free clay of extremely fine texture found in several locations worldwide. Its name derives from the Chinese area Gaoling, where its use was first documented.
Kaolin has many commercial applications, perhaps the least well known of which relates to personal hygiene.
Mineral cleansers function differently
Soaps and shampoos clean by reducing the surface tension of the water, allowing water to rinse away dirt and oil particles more easily. Rhassoul and Kaolin work in a different manner. When combined with water, the tiny clay particles swell to form a homogenous gel texture with an enormous absorption capacity. The gel binds particulates and excessive oil, much as an ink blotter, and rinses away readily with water. Washing with a LOGONA mineral cleanser never removes too much of the oils in your hair or skin, as aggressive soaps and shampoos often do. Nor will these cleansers strip the protective acid mantel layers of your skin, or irritate sebaceous glands.
