Rich in flavonoids, carotenoids, pectin and synephrine, bitter orange peel powder beautifies the skin and hair. We have selected organically grown oranges from Morocco to limit the environmental cost of transporting this powder, which often comes from India. Very fine, this powder is perfect for making masks and shampoo-pastes that are both effective and ecological. It can be used in combination with other plant powders, such as nettle, sage or chamomile, or with clays and rhassoul. It is just as interesting on the skin as on the hair!

Ideal for cleansing, toning and purifying acne-prone, impure, dull and tired skin. It gives a real boost to the complexion and frees charged skin from impurities.

How to use it?

• as an exfoliating and illuminating scrub, combined with rhassoul and a plant-based exfoliant
• in your homemade illuminating soap recipes

Easy recipe idea:

A cleansing and purifying mask for the face:

mix 1 tablespoon of rhassoul or montmorillonite green clay with 1 tablespoon of organic orange powder and add enough warm water to form a smooth paste. Apply to face and leave on for 10 minutes, then rinse off with clean water. For an intensified purifying effect, add a teaspoon of black cumin oil and 2 drops of tea tree oil.

Very versatile, this powder is suitable for all hair types. It brings a lot of shine to the hair and makes it soft! Its stimulating action on the microcirculation stimulates the scalp and strengthens tired hair.

How to use it?

• as a toning mask before shampooing, combined with other plant powders or rhassoul
• in your solid shampoo recipes
• as a dry shampoo, combined with cornstarch and nettle powder (dark hair) or chamomile (light hair)
• in your shampoo-paste recipes, combined with rhassoul, marshmallow powder and possibly other plant powders

Easy recipe idea:

A dry shampoo with organic orange powder:

to make 100g of dry shampoo, mix 85g of organic corn starch, which you can find in organic shops, with 15g of organic orange powder. Store your mixture in an airtight glass jar, away from light. Apply with a brush to the roots, massage gently, leave for 2 minutes and then brush the hair upside down to remove the excess.

• As orange powder is very active, we invite you to always combine it with other natural ingredients, not to use it pure. It can be mixed with other plant powders, clays or diluted in an aqueous or oily macerate at 10%.
• Test in the elbow before use and wait 48 hours to check that no allergic reaction occurs.
• No internal use
