Product Description:
Moroccan Aker el Fassi terracotta pots. Handmade from natural clay, this traditional Berber crimson 'lipstick' is infused with a pure, plant-based pigment of sun-dried red poppy petals and pomegranate rind. Just a touch of moisture transforms this rustic stone into a vibrant, long-lasting lip stain and a beautifully blendable cheek blusher. Free from synthetic chemicals, leads, and plastics, it is the perfect zero-waste multitasker for a completely natural flush that suits every skin type and colour.
Ingredients: 100% Dried Red Poppy Petals (Papaver rhoeas), Pomegranate Peel (Punica granatum).
Packaging: Handmade authentic terracotta clay pot.
How to Use Your Aker el Fassi Clay Pot
Because this is a traditional, raw pigment stone rather than a modern waxy lipstick, it is activated by moisture.
1. As a Natural Lip Stain
- Activate: Wet your clean fingertip, a lip brush, or a damp cotton swab with a drop of water or organic rose or neroli water.
- Apply: Rub the moist applicator gently across the red ceramic surface to lift the pigment.
- Build: Paint it onto your lips. One coat gives a soft, natural pink tint. Layering it creates a dramatic, deep matte brick-red.
- Pro Tip: For a glossy finish or extra nourishment, top it with our Argan Lip Balm
2. As a Sun-Kissed Cheek Blusher
- Blend: Wet your finger or a dense makeup brush, swirl it over the clay pot, and dab a tiny amount onto the apples of your cheeks.
-
Diffuse: Blend quickly using upward strokes before the stain sets. It leaves behind a beautiful, natural, fresh-faced flush.

The vibrant crimson Aker el Fassi pigment—sourced from sun-dried poppy petals and pomegranate rinds—painted and infused into the raw ceramic surface. By choosing this ancient cosmetic tool, you directly support indigenous artisan communities, keeping their timeless craftsmanship alive while opting for a truly sustainable, plastic-free lifestyle.
Other Traditional Uses
For complete historical authenticity, Moroccan beauty rituals also utilize this versatile botanical powder beyond everyday makeup:
Skincare Clarifying Masks: Mix a tiny pinch of the pigment into traditional Moroccan Rhassoul Clay or rose water to create a brightening face mask that revives dull skin complexions.
Nourishing Hair Tint: Traditionally mixed with henna or natural hair oils to add stunning, warm reddish highlights and deep conditioning shine to the hair.
FAQ's
How long does the Aker el Fassi stain last on the skin?
The botanical pigment acts as a true skin stain rather than a heavy surface wax. On your lips and cheeks, a single application typically lasts for 4 to 8 hours without needing a touch-up. It is highly smudge-proof and water-resistant once dry.
Is Aker el Fassi safe for highly sensitive skin?
Yes. Our pots contain only two raw, plant-based ingredients: dried red poppy petals and pomegranate rind. Because it contains zero synthetic dyes, leads, parabens, or artificial fragrances, it is exceptionally gentle and ideal for sensitive or allergy-prone skin types.
Will the terracotta pot dry out over time?
No. The dry pigment is baked directly into the clay and remains completely stable. It never expires or dries out in the way conventional liquid lipsticks do. It will only lose its potency once all the red pigment has been completely used up from the ceramic surface.
Can I use my favorite facial oil to activate the pot?
We recommend using water, rose water, or orange blossom water to activate the initial application. Oils cannot properly dissolve the raw botanical powder on the clay surface. However, you can absolutely apply our Argan Lip Balm over the top of the stain once it sets on your skin for a beautiful glossy finish.
How many applications can I get out of one clay pot?
Because the natural pigment is highly concentrated, a very tiny amount goes a long way. With daily use as both a lip stain and a cheek blusher, a single traditional terracotta pot can easily last between 3 to 6 months.
Does the red pigment stain my fingers permanently?
While it creates a long-lasting flush on your face, it easily washes off your hands. Any leftover pigment on your fingertips can be removed quickly using a little warm water and soap, or a damp washcloth.
