Nila Powder — The Blue Treasure of the Desert Women
Some ingredients fascinate at first sight. Nila is one of them. Its deep, almost mesmerizing blue color hides an age-old beauty secret used by the women of Morocco and the Sahara to care for their skin in the harshest conditions.
🌍 Where does Nila come from?
Nila is extracted from the Indigofera tinctoria plant, cultivated in Africa and Asia for millennia. This is the very plant that produces natural indigo, one of humanity's oldest dyes.
Its history: known as « the indigo of the desert », Nila was used by Tuareg and Moroccan women to protect their skin from sun and wind. In some regions, it was considered a luxury ingredient, reserved for special occasions.
