Salama Mohamed sure knows how to entertain us on social media with her fun videos with her family, but did you know the Emirati entrepreneur also has a skincare brand in the UAE? The social media star’s passion project has been formulated with Korean skincare technology. As we all know, Korean skincare has assumed a sort of holy grail status when it comes to skincare solutions, and Peacefull emulates that with clean and effective products that do just what they must.

De L’Arta


De L’Arta is as local as it gets. The formulas are all made with resources found here in the UAE, and local plant extracts for natural, sustainable products. While it is widely believed that the desert landscape of the UAE doesn’t have much to offer, De L’Arta is harnessing the power of a rich trove of resources to bust that myth.

Emirati-born Dr Lamees Hamdan’s luxury brand combines ingredients from the land and the sea to create organic products that promote healing. It all started with Dr Lamees’ quest to find a unique oil for her body during pregnancy. Her line now includes remedies for every skin concern.

Shirley Conlon Organics


Like many inventions in this world, the Shirley Conlon Organics was born out of necessity. The founder, Shirley Conlon, found her skin to be acting up when she moved to Dubai and figured she’d create formulas herself so she knew exactly what was going into it. Her conscious skincare focuses on combatting UV, heat and pollution damage.
