Skin cells die and are generated every day, so it is never too late
to start taking care of the skin. Part of this care involves skincare and
beauty products.
In the case of handmade products, each has its narrative; each
handmade shop, and the individual who created the products, invests a great
deal of time and effort in creating something unique and beautiful.
Misk Shop is a local skincare brand that provides natural,
environmentally friendly skincare products.
It was founded in 2018 by Aseel Al-kharouf and Ebaa Khzai; the goal
is to provide personal care products that are free of harsh chemicals and have beautiful
scents that lift self-confidence.
Al-kharouf, founder and co-owner of
Misk Shop, a mom of three with sales
and marketing experience, holds a marketing degree, and is an enthusiastic
learner.
“I have always loved to challenge myself and bring out the best in
me,” she told
Jordan News.
“I was looking for the best deodorant after I had my first
daughter, as no deodorant was working for me,” Al-kharouf said.
She wanted a better and more natural alternatives and eventually
found the perfect formula and mixture.
Misk Shop elevates personal care, “with all-natural products
manufactured with compassion in the community by skincare professionals. The
products are handmade in a suitable environment”, she said.
“We get inspired mostly by personal care products needed daily,
especially by women and teenagers,” she mentioned.
Al-kharouf said that the shop sells only through the online website,
and social media definitely helped boost the reach and spread the word about
the business, which she expects to expand physically in the near future.
Advertising is done “mainly on social media channels” she said,
adding that finding the right materials has been one top challenge ever since
the shop opened, as the shop uses “premium organic coconut oil, top-quality
perfume oils, and the best quality ingredients in the market”.
Not all Misk Shop products are organic, “but some of the
ingredients used and the main ingredient, coconut oil, are organic”, she said,
adding that natural products “are not always the best option for skin, it is the
formula that matters. People need ingredients that do not harm the skin, but
nourish or treat”.
“You might find Misk Shop at bazaars or farmers' markets, but there
is no consistent physical attendance in the market,” Al-kharouf said, adding
that the shop products are safe for children and adults of all ages.
Misk Shop constantly gauges the market needs “to keep up with the
demand, as well as to improve the current product, which guarantees customer
loyalty”.
“We currently operate in Jordan only, but are looking forward to
expanding in the near future to international markets. Misk Shop stands out
because of its reliability, credibility, and excellent customer service,” she
said.
“During the
COVID-19 pandemic, the sales got affected a little
because usually expats form a good percentage of our buyers,” Al-kharouf said, adding
that the business got new customers as Jordanians started relying more on
online shopping.
“We always work on improving the current products, with
comprehensive research and trials for new innovative products. The markets now
are accessible, and customers are wiser than ever before,” Al-kharouf said.
