Nila – The blue gold of the desert and your natural complexion refiner
A beauty ritual from the depths of the Sahara, rediscovered for your skincare.
Anyone who thinks radiant skin has to come from lab-grown formulas hasn't experienced Nila yet. This deep blue powder, also known as Nila Zarqa , has been an integral part of the beauty rituals of Moroccan desert women for centuries—a precious natural secret that's more fashionable today than ever.
What is Nila actually?
Nila is extracted from the Indigofera tinctoria plant , a plant that thrives in the Moroccan desert and parts of North Africa. The dried leaves are processed into a fine blue powder that not only provides color but also nourishes.
In the Sahara, Nila was traditionally applied to the skin or incorporated into cloths that covered the body for several hours or days – as an intensive cleansing and brightening ritual under the harsh sun conditions of the desert.
Today you can experience this ancient knowledge in a gentle, contemporary form – with a natural skin refiner, completely chemical-free.
Why your skin will love Nila:
1. Skin lightening naturally
Nila evens out pigment spots, reduces dark spots and gives the skin an even, radiant appearance – all without aggressive bleaching agents.
2. Soothing effect on sensitive skin
Thanks to its natural anti-inflammatory properties, Nila helps with irritated skin, redness, pimples and blemishes – ideal even for sensitive skin.
3. Detox & Deep Cleansing
The fine-pored texture of the powder helps to draw excess sebum, pollutants and impurities out of the skin – for a fresh, clarified skin feeling.
4. Anti-aging from nature
Nila contains antioxidants that neutralize free radicals and thus slow down skin aging. With regular use, the skin appears firmer and fresher.
5. Velvety glow – without makeup
A light Nila mix as a face mask or scrub gives you instant radiance – for that famous “natural glow.”
How to use Nila at home:
Use as a face mask:
1 tsp Nila powder
- 1 tsp rose water or yogurt
= Mix into a paste, apply to face/neck, leave on for 5-10 minutes, rinse off.
For the body:
Mix with Ghassoul (Rhassoul) or Aloe Vera – 1-2 times a week for a visibly more even complexion.
Why Nila is more than just cosmetics:
✓ Pure natural product – without parabens, silicones or synthetic fragrances
✓ Supports the skin in a gentle, plant-based way
✓ Part of a vibrant North African beauty tradition
With every application you will feel: This ritual is not just care – it is a connection to generations of women who found their beauty in nature.
