Qasil powder has been used for centuries by Somali women as a natural beauty remedy. In 2025, this green miracle is going viral on platforms like TikTok and Pinterest. But is it truly effective? And how should melanin-rich skin types incorporate it safely into their skincare routine?
In this guide, we’ll break down everything you need to know: from its natural exfoliating action to its ability to clear acne scars without disrupting your skin’s natural balance.
What Is Qasil Powder?
Qasil powder is made from finely crushed leaves of the gob tree (Ziziphus mauritiana), native to East Africa. Known for its antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory properties, Qasil acts as a cleanser, exfoliator, and mask all in one.
It is 100% natural, packed with nutrients such as:
-
Vitamin C
-
Antioxidants
-
Phytochemicals
-
Saponins (natural cleansing agents)
It is often described as a natural alternative to salicylic acid, without the irritation.
Why Is Qasil Great for Darker Skin Tones?
Melanin-rich skin is more reactive to inflammation and more prone to hyperpigmentation. Unlike chemical exfoliants, Qasil gently clears away dead skin and bacteria while calming the skin’s surface.
Main Benefits:
-
Clears acne without causing dryness
-
Reduces dark spots and uneven tone
-
Promotes a natural glow without altering the skin’s undertone
-
Helps manage oiliness while maintaining hydration
-
Safe for sensitive and hormonal skin types
How to Use Qasil Powder Effectively
As a Daily Cleanser (2–3 times per week)
-
Mix 1 tsp Qasil with water
-
Apply as a paste and massage for 1–2 minutes
-
Rinse with lukewarm water
As a Mask
-
Mix with honey or rose water
-
Leave for 10–15 minutes
-
Rinse and follow up with a lightweight moisturiser
Bonus: Mix with turmeric for anti-acne action
This combination is ideal for acne-prone skin or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Who Should Avoid Qasil?
Though rare, extremely dry or eczema-prone skin might experience tightness. Always patch test before full application. Do not use Qasil after aggressive exfoliation (e.g., retinol or AHAs).
