After experiencing first- degree burns due to using fake sunscreen, Fatma Nawawi began exploring all-natural skincare. This led her to establish her brand in 2021, aiming to create effective, chemical-free products gentle enough for even the most sensitive skin.
Having faced breakouts and dryness from conventional products, Nawawi delved into researching natural ingredients and botanical extracts. The outcome was a line of skincare products free from synthetic fragrances, parabens, sulfates, and other harmful additives.
Shamsa prides itself on using whole natural fats and minerals, such as camel hump tallow, which is rich in vitamins and fatty acids. Their product line includes natural sunscreen, cacao sun paste, magnesium cream, and lip balms. These products are designed to nourish and protect the skin, especially under the harsh Saudi summer sun.
