Cold-pressed oils and plant serums, mixed in small batches in Weibdeh. Short ingredient lists, and every one of them is something we can explain.
Shop the rangeWe make eight things. These three account for more than half of what leaves the studio each month.
Nabta started in a rented studio in Jabal Al Weibdeh. Our founder had spent six years formulating for large brands and kept seeing products with thirty ingredients where two did the work.
So our formulas are short. Cold-pressed carrier oils, a handful of botanical extracts, and actives at a level that earns its place. We blend around 300 bottles at a time, fill them by hand, and print the batch date on the base. No synthetic fragrance, no essential oils above 0.5%.
Read our storyA few sweeps of Damask Rose Essence over clean skin. It rehydrates and gives everything after it something to sink into.
Two or three drops of Calendula Barrier Serum, pressed in. This is the step that does the quiet, long-term work.
Warm three drops of Rosehip Renewal Oil between your palms and press over the top. Skin still feels soft by morning, even through an Amman winter.
Where we can, we buy from the region. Damask rose water from a distiller in Deir Alla, olive oil from a press outside Ajloun, prickly pear seed oil from two growers near Madaba.
Rosehip, sea buckthorn and neroli come from certified suppliers in Chile, Finland and Tunisia. Every drum arrives with a harvest date and a certificate of analysis, and we keep both on file for each batch.
How we source
Three drops, on damp skin, after serum. Why the order and the amount matter more than the oil.
What the studies on rosehip oil and skin renewal found, and who it tends to suit.
The cold here is dry, not damp. Small changes that keep skin from cracking.
“I switched to the Calendula serum after a bad reaction to a retinol. Two months later the redness on my cheeks is gone, and I can read every ingredient on the label.”Layan Haddad, Amman · customer since 2021
One email when a new batch lands or a sold-out product is back. Usually twice a month, never more than four.
