If you’ve noticed a new “pink glow” trend taking over Pakistani skincare — on TikTok, Instagram, and in bridal prep routines — the ingredient behind it is something Moroccan women have used for centuries: Aker Fassi.
What is Aker Fassi?
Aker Fassi (عكر فاسي) is a traditional Moroccan beauty powder made from dried pomegranate skin and red poppy petals. The name literally means “the dye of Fes” — named after the ancient Moroccan city of Fes where it has been used as a cosmetic ingredient for hundreds of years.
In traditional Moroccan culture, Aker Fassi was used by brides as a natural lip and cheek tint — providing a soft, rosy flush without any synthetic ingredients. It’s now been formulated into modern skincare products like Zero Care’s Pink Glow Booster Gel Cream.
What Does Aker Fassi Do for Skin?
- 🌸 Natural Pink Glow — the red poppy and pomegranate pigments deposit a soft, healthy-looking pink flush on the skin
- ✨ Brightening — pomegranate extract is rich in antioxidants that fade dark spots and even out skin tone
- 💧 Hydration — naturally moisturising properties help maintain skin softness
- 🦵 Anti-aging — pomegranate polyphenols fight free radical damage and premature aging
- 💄 Natural Highlighter Effect — gives a lit-from-within look without shimmer particles
