The Ancient Red Beauty of Morocco
Long before modern cosmetics, Moroccan women had a secret weapon for radiant lips and rosy cheeks: Aker Fassi. This deep red powder, derived from dried pomegranate rind and poppy petals, has been used for centuries as a natural blush, lip tint, and skin treatment.
Named after the city of Fes (Fassi means "from Fes"), Aker Fassi is one of Morocco's most treasured beauty traditions — and it's making a well-deserved comeback in the world of clean beauty.
What Makes Aker Fassi Special?
Unlike synthetic dyes and chemical-laden cosmetics, Aker Fassi is 100% natural. Its rich red pigment comes from pomegranate skin, which is also packed with antioxidants, vitamin C, and anti-inflammatory properties. This means it doesn't just colour — it actively nourishes the skin.
- Natural pigment — deep, buildable red colour with no synthetic dyes
- Antioxidant-rich — pomegranate is one of nature's most powerful antioxidants
- Anti-inflammatory — soothes and calms irritated skin
- Versatile — used as lip colour, blush, and skin treatment
How to Use Aker Fassi
As a lip tint: Wet your fingertip slightly and dab into the Aker Fassi powder. Apply to lips and blend for a natural, stained look that lasts.
As a blush: Mix a tiny amount with a drop of water or facial oil and apply to the apples of your cheeks with a brush or fingertip for a natural flush.
In your skincare: Add a pinch to your face mask or scrub for an antioxidant boost and a subtle brightening effect.
