Authentic Moroccan Aker Fassi Powder
Product Overview & Heritage
Originating in the imperial artisan workshops of Fes and Marrakech, Aker Fassi (also known as 'Gazelle's Blood' or *Dam El Ghazal*) is an iconic North African beauty cosmetic used by Berber and Moroccan women since medieval times.
It is crafted by blending sun-dried petals of wild red poppies (*Papaver rhoeas*) with dried pomegranate bark (*Punica granatum*). Traditionally baked onto porous unglazed terracotta clay pots, it yields an extraordinarily rich, shimmering crimson-gold powder loaded with natural antioxidants and vibrant anthocyanin pigments.
Highly sought after for clean beauty and natural decorative cosmetics, Aker Fassi provides a buildable rosy flush for cheeks, a kiss-proof water tint for lips, and a radiant pink glow when blended into Moroccan Ghassoul or rose water face masks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Got Questions?
How do you distinguish authentic Aker Fassi from synthetic red dyes?
Authentic Aker Fassi made from poppy and pomegranate has a characteristic subtle golden-bronze shimmer when dry, and turns vibrant red when hydrated. It contains zero artificial red dyes (like Red 40 or Carmine) and is completely safe and food-grade.
How is the terracotta clay cup version used?
Simply wet a finger, makeup brush, or cotton swab with a drop of water, argan oil, or rose water, rub the surface of the terracotta cup to activate the pigment, and apply directly to lips or cheeks.
Can it be incorporated into commercial cosmetic formulations?
Yes, our micronized loose powder mixes seamlessly into oil phases, balms, creams, and water-based tints for natural and vegan beauty lines.
