FACIAL MASK
Use 2-3 times per week on cleansed skin. Mix 1 teaspoon of the powder with 2-3 tablespoons of water. Spread the mask and leave for 5-10 minutes for sensitive/normal skin and 10-20 minutes for normal/oily skin. Thoroughly mix the paste for a more even application. Add more water for a runnier paste or powder for a thicker paste. Remove with lukewarm water.
EXFOLIATING CLEANSER
Qasil Powder can be used as a daily gentle cleanser for the face or body. Take 1 teaspoon into your hand and add 4-6 tablespoons of water. Rub the mixture until it lathers, apply on your face for 60 seconds, and wash off. Add more water if needed for a runnier consistency.
HAIR CARE
Qasil Powder can be used to deep cleanse the hair & scalp or as a hair mask.
Take 2 tablespoons of the powder, mix with 1 cup of warm water, and pour over scalp and lather or apply it as a mask. Add more powder or water if needed for a thicker or runnier consistency. Follow up with a conditioner.

Wonder Plant was started in 2021 with a desire to share an ancient Somali beauty secret, Qasil Powder. Alongside two other passionate founders, we set out to share this multipurpose ingredient with the world.
Growing up, I learned of this beauty ritual passed down through generations of women in my family. Driven by a passion for natural beauty, we focused on every detail, from ethically sourcing the finest Qasil leaves in Somaliland to using biodegradable plastic-free packaging, and filming a documentary to showcase the sourcing of our Qasil Powder.
This reflects our commitment to honoring tradition and embracing modern values while making a positive impact on the local community and economy back home.
Our hope is that Wonder Plant inspires you to embrace a simpler, more mindful approach to beauty — one that honors tradition and connects us all to the earth. Together, we grow beautifully.
