Aker Fassi Flakes – Moroccan Lip & Cheek Tint, 10 g
$10.15
Sun-dried poppy petals and pomegranate peel from Morocco, in small flakes. A damp fingertip releases a natural rosy stain for lips and cheeks. 10 g jar.
Why it works
Colour from plants: the red comes only from poppy petals and pomegranate peel.
Lips and cheeks: one jar for a matching flush, from sheer to deep red.
A little goes a long way: each use takes only the colour on a damp fingertip; the flakes stay in the jar.

- 1.Prepare your skin
Start with clean, dry lips without balm. For cheeks, apply once your moisturiser has fully absorbed.
- 2.Wake up the colour
Dampen a fingertip or small brush with a single drop of water or rose water, then press it on the flakes until it turns red. Never pour water into the jar.
- 3.Apply
On lips, press the colour onto the centre and blend outwards with small dabs. On cheeks, dab two or three dots on the apples and blend up towards the temples straight away, before the colour sets.
- 4.Build and finish
Let the first layer dry for about a minute, then add another for a deeper red. Once the colour has set, finish with a thin layer of lip balm if your lips feel dry.

Aker Fassi means “the aker of Fès”: aker is the Moroccan name for this traditional red, and Fès is the imperial city that gave it its name. Rooted in Amazigh beauty traditions, it has been passed from mothers to daughters for generations, and brides wore it on their wedding day.
The recipe has always been simple: poppy petals and pomegranate peel dried in the sun, then laid into small terracotta pots or sold loose in the souks. A damp fingertip was all it took to release the colour.
Ours keeps that loose, traditional form: sun-dried poppy petals and pomegranate peel in small flakes, prepared in Morocco and packed in a 10 g glass jar that keeps them dry and travels well.
The rosy flush of Fès, in a jar
For generations, Moroccan women have coloured their lips and cheeks with nothing more than a damp fingertip and a few red flakes of Aker Fassi. Mothers passed the habit on to their daughters, and brides wore it on their wedding day.
Our Aker Fassi is made of sun-dried poppy petals and pomegranate peel, crushed into small flakes with nothing else added. Touch the flakes with a damp fingertip and the colour comes alive: one layer gives a sheer rosy stain, two or three a deep berry red.
Why it earns a place on your shelf
Two plant ingredients: poppy petals and pomegranate peel, nothing more.
Lips and cheeks: one jar for a matching flush.
Buildable colour: from a light tint to an intense red, layer by layer.
Water is all it needs: no wax, no oil, no brush required.
In the jar
10 g (0.35 oz) of Aker Fassi flakes in a glass jar with a gold lid, packed and shipped from Morocco.
What is Aker Fassi made of?
Sun-dried poppy petals and pomegranate peel, crushed into small flakes. No added fragrance, preservatives or synthetic colourants.
How do I apply Aker Fassi on lips and cheeks?
Dampen a fingertip with a drop of water or rose water, press it on the flakes until it turns red, then dab it onto the centre of the lips or the apples of the cheeks and blend straight away. Add layers for more colour.
What colour does Aker Fassi give?
From a sheer rosy stain to a deep berry red, depending on the number of layers and your natural lip and skin tone.
How long does a 10 g jar last?
Each use only takes the colour that sticks to a damp fingertip, so one 10 g jar covers many applications.
Do you ship Aker Fassi internationally?
Yes. Orders ship from Morocco with FedEx, and the shipping cost is calculated at checkout from the parcel weight.
How do I remove Aker Fassi?
Use a gentle cleanser. A few drops of facial oil on a cotton pad help lift deeper layers.
