The Blue Gold of Morocco

What is Nila?

Nila is a rare blue mineral powder traditionally used by Saharan women for skin brightening, softening, and purification.
It is one of Morocco’s oldest beauty secrets — treasured for centuries in hammams and desert communities.

Where Does Nila Come From?

Nila originates from the deep desert regions of Mauritania and southern Morocco, where it is carefully extracted and purified by local women’s cooperatives.
It is fully natural, with its signature deep indigo color and soft, velvety texture.

Who Traditionally Uses Nila?

  • Desert women in Mauritania and Morocco
  • Hammam practitioners
  • Brides during their pre-wedding beauty rituals

How Nila Is Used

Traditional Hammam Method

  1. Steam your body
  2. Exfoliate the body with the Jassminsgarden kessa glove. 
  3. Apply Nila 
  4. Leave for 5/10 minutes
  5. Rinse to reveal glowing skin

We combine Nila with:

  • Jojoba oil, Jasmin and musk
  • Luxury hydrating ingredients

to create a creamy, gentle, ready-to-use mask for home spa rituals.

Why We Love It

Because Nila is not just a cosmetic ingredient
it is a cultural story, passed down from mothers, grandmothers, and desert women for generations. And for the muslims we got our body as an amanah so, that means we have to take care of it. Right?

And now, through Jassminsgarden, this ancient ritual becomes part of your self-care routine.
