Honest Fit

Who it's for.

The routine is for you if…

  • Your skin feels congested, oily or dull
  • You want fewer products, not more
  • Your scalp needs a reset between wash days
  • You read labels and hate what you find
  • You want a real routine, not a 10-second rinse

Skip it if…

  • You want a leave-on overnight treatment
  • You prefer strongly fragranced products
  • Mixing a fresh paste twice a week isn't your thing
  • You're after instant foam-and-go washing

Questions

Asked often.

Is it okay for sensitive skin?
A single plant ingredient with no fragrance, sulfates or preservatives — the usual irritants simply aren't in the jar. Patch-test on your inner arm first and start once a week.
How often should I use it?
Two to three masks a week is the sweet spot for most skin. Scalp: once a week or between wash days as a reset.
Is clay okay for dry skin?
Yes — keep it to a shorter mask (5 minutes) and follow with a face oil or cream to reseal moisture. Oily skin can go the full 10.
What does it smell like?
Like the plant it is — a mild, earthy, green scent that rinses away completely. Nothing added, nothing masked.
How long does a jar last?
At 2–3 masks a week, the 8oz jar lasts about two months. Store it dry with the lid tight — it's a dry powder with nothing in it to spoil.

  • Literally one ingredient. No fillers, no preservatives, no mystery chemicals.

How to Use

  1. Mix 1-2 tablespoons of qasil powder with warm water to create a smooth paste
  2. Apply evenly to clean, damp skin (avoid eye area)
  3. Leave on for 10-15 minutes — you’ll feel a gentle tightening
  4. Rinse with lukewarm water and pat dry
  5. Use 2-3x per week as a mask, or daily as a gentle cleanser

Key Ingredients

Ziziphus Mauritiana Leaf Powder (Qasil/Sidr) — Natural saponins for cleansing, flavonoids for antioxidant protection, tannins for pore refinement. Known as qasil in Somalia, sidr in the Middle East — the same powerful tree, celebrated across cultures for centuries.

Perfect For

All skin types — especially oily, combination, and acne-prone skin. Gentle enough for sensitive skin (patch test first).

Pro Tip

For hair, mix qasil with warm water as a natural shampoo alternative — Somali women have done this for generations.

Your whole routine. One powder.

Join the routine East African families never stopped trusting.
