Aker Fassi is a traditional Moroccan natural pigment made from dried poppy petals and pomegranate rind. Ground into a fine powder or formed into a hard pigment stone, it has been used by Moroccan women for centuries as a natural tint for lips and cheeks. The name derives from the city of Fes, where its use has been most celebrated.
