Aker Fassi Powder — The Ancestral Lipstick of the Women of Fez
Before lipstick tubes, before pressed powder blushes, before the entire modern cosmetics industry… there was Aker Fassi. This deep, mesmerizing natural red pigment has been the beauty secret of Moroccan women for centuries.
🌍 Where does Aker Fassi come from?
Aker Fassi — which literally means « root of Fez » — is made from dried poppies and pomegranate peels, two ingredients naturally rich in red pigments and antioxidants.
Its history: Aker Fassi was an essential part of the Moroccan bride's trousseau. On her wedding day, the women of the family applied it to her lips and cheeks to give her that characteristic natural glow.
