Shamash Facial Oil
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.
