Camel milk
Our star ingredient
Whether or not Cleopatra bathed in camel milk is debatable. But one thing is sure, camel milk truly is a remarkable ingredient in skincare. Rich in alpha-hydroxy acids and vitamins and loaded with anti-ageing and anti-inflammatory properties, it nourishes the skin and boosts its immunity. We’re delighted to let you experience its extraordinary effects through our range of products.
Omani Frankincense
A regional powerhouse
Locally known as “luban", Omani frankincense is a true marvel of nature. Studies have shown that frankincense can help regenerate skin cells, reduce scars and blemishes, and prevent premature ageing. It also tightens, tones and lifts skin while enhancing and improving its elasticity. And it smells divine!
Sidr Oil
An ancient remedy
Indigenous to mountainous and desert regions of the Arabian peninsula , the sidr tree contains high concentrations of calcium, iron and magnesium, among other beneficial nutrients. Even mentioned in the holy Quran, sidr extracted from sidr leaves, has been used for centuries to maintain a healthy scalp, keep hair and skin clean, and strengthen the body’s immune system.
