Summer skincare: 7 UAE-born brands to shop this season
Salama Mohamed sure knows how to entertain us on social media with her fun videos of her family, but did you know the Emirati entrepreneur also has a skincare brand in the UAE? The social media star's passion project has been formulated with Korean skincare technology. As we all know, Korean skincare has assumed a sort of holy grail status when it comes to skincare solutions, and Peacefull emulates that with clean and effective products that do just what they must.
@peacefull De L'Arta
De L'Arta is as local as it gets. The formulas are all made with resources found here in the UAE, and local plant extracts for natural, sustainable products. While it is widely believed that the desert landscape of the UAE doesn't have much to offer, De L'Arta is harnessing the power of a rich trove of resources to bust that myth.
@de_larta Wishful
Huda Kattan's skincare brand is a relatively new addition to her beauty empire's ever-growing portfolio of products. Her line of makeup, Huda Beauty, can be found on the shelves of perhaps every beauty retailer in the world, and now Wishful is taking the local markets by storm.
@wishfulskin Shirley Conlon Organics
Like many inventions in this world, the Shirley Conlon Organics was born out of necessity. The founder, Shirley Conlon, found her skin to be acting up when she moved to Dubai and figured she'd create formulas herself so she knew exactly what was going into it. Her conscious skincare focuses on combatting UV, heat and pollution damage.
@shirleyconlonorganics GLIST
This homegrown brand takes the very best of East Asian skincare and formulates it specifically for the region. A mix of Japanese and Korean skincare secrets, GLIST has a highly popular range of sheet masks for every qualm and is a semi-gel cellulose technology, an innovative material that is being retailed in the region for the first time.
@glist__official Herbal Essentials
This UAE-born-and-bred brand is all about natural, clean, uncomplicated skincare, formulated with Himalyan spring water. Himalayan Active Water contains 3 essential minerals that help hydrate, strengthen & protect the skin barrier, so there's a wealth of benefits to be derived from it. The brand has a variety of options for all skin types and issues.
@herbal_essentials The Camel Soap Factory
A homegrown name known for crafting natural skincare products using locally sourced camel milk, The Camel Soap Factory products are loved for its nourishing and hydrating properties. They offer handmade soaps, balms, and skincare items with sustainable ingredients, free from harsh chemicals. The distinctive soaps are often infused with regional scents like frankincense, oud, and lavender, also make for popular souvenirs – ethical beauty straight from the heart of the desert.

Publsh Group secures landmark five-year partnership for digital activations at J1 Beach, Jumeirah
Publsh Group has secured a five-year landmark partnership with Merex Investment for digital activations at J1 Beach, Dubai's premier beachfront destination. The deal makes Publsh the first media group to lock in long-term digital rights at a place inspired by the elegance of the French Riviera, attracting a discerning global audience who can arrive in style via a dedicated anchorage zone. Set along a pristine stretch of Jumeirah's coastline, J1 Beach is home to thirteen fully licensed restaurants and vibrant beach clubs, blending culinary excellence, sun-soaked sophistication, valet service, and jetty access to create urban beachfront elegance. The area's transformation reflects Dubai's evolving luxury lifestyle and provides Publsh with the ideal canvas for dynamic, high-impact storytelling. "This isn't just about media deployment, it's a cultural positioning," said Sagar Chotrani, CEO and co-founder of Publsh Group. "We're bringing brands into one of the most desirable physical and emotional environments in the region. This spectacular location opens up a new frontier of luxury engagement that few destinations in the world can offer." The agreement falls under Publsh's Media vertical, one of three pillars powering its growth alongside Comms and Creatives. Also under the Media arm: Publsh's sales and partnership rights at this year's race weekend at Yas Marina, secured by The Luxury Media Group – further extending its presence across high-value audience platforms. Publsh has also signed an exclusive partnership with Brand ME summit, the region's largest ever gathering for personal branding which will attract over 6,000 attendees, taking place in Dubai's vibrant City Walk in November 2025. "J1 Beach is a lifestyle signal,' commented Kushal Desai, managing director and co-founder of Publsh Group. "It draws the globe's most refined consumers, and we're curating digital experiences that live up to that expectation. Whether it's smart content or immersive brand moments, our goal is to create memorable experiences that really connect with this exclusive crowd." Merex Investment, the developer behind J1 Beach, views this partnership as a strategic step in enhancing the guest experience and unlocking new opportunities for luxury brand engagement. "Publsh's approach to experiential and digital media aligns perfectly with J1 Beach's vision of delivering immersive, high-impact experiences in one of Dubai's most refined beachfront destinations. Their presence will elevate how visitors engage with the space, while opening exclusive new pathways for luxury brands to reach their audience," commented Shahram Shamsaee, CEO at Merex Investment. Further fueling the upward momentum, Publsh will open its state-of-the-art headquarters in Dubai Studio City in September 2025. The purpose-built creative hub will house integrated strategy, production, and innovation teams, supporting global brands seeking deeper resonance across the Middle East.
