The Mesopotamian sun-god facial oil. In Mesopotamian mythology, Shamash (شمش) was the Akkadian sun god. MENA has always been a crossroads - ancient cultivation meeting global trade. This luminous blend honours that: watermelon and pomegranate from Mesopotamia, guava from centuries of regional agriculture, jojoba from modern desert innovation.

Oily skin types will find that they can also benefit from this facial oil- it contains high amounts of the linoleic fatty acid. Oils containing a high content of linoleic fatty acid are lightweight and support with oilier skin types.

 COLOUR

Shamash is a bright, sunny, tropical orange from the cold-pressed oils.

AROMA/SCENT

Sweet with notes of strawberry and guava

 INGREDIENTS

• Strawberry seed oil

  • Rich in omega-6 fatty acids and ellagic acid- powerful antioxidants that defend and soften skin.

• Guava seed oil
  • Carried by ancient trade winds into MENA gardens, guava is now grown across parts of the Middle East like Egypt and Oman. It is pressed into a lightweight, fruity oil that delivers skin brightening and skin radiance benefits. Sunlight captured in a bottle.

• Jojoba seed oil
  • Cultivated in MENA's desert regions as a sustainable, drought-resistant crop. Jojoba oil is unique - it mimics skin's natural sebum, providing barrier support and lightweight moisture that balances without heaviness. Ideal for MENA's extreme climate.

• Watermelon Seed Oil

  • Cultivated along the Nile for 4,000 years, the seeds yield a golden oil - lightweight, hydrating and fast absorbing, exactly what MENA skin needs.

• Pomegranate seed oil
  • Treasured across MENA for thousands of years. Pomegranate seed oil is rich in punicic acid and antioxidants. 

• Sea buckthorn fruit oil
  • This vibrant orange fruit oil reflects the energy of the sun itself. Packed with carotenoids, it gives Shamash its golden hue.
