CANCRO: The Key to Superior Hydration and Wellness
Web Release Selection Lifestyle By Editor_wr On Mar 29, 2025 CANCRO, the deuterium-depleted water brand, is redefining hydration and wellness in the Middle East. A pioneer in hydration innovation, CANCRO's deuterium-depleted water (DDW) is crafted with reduced levels of deuterium, a naturally occurring isotope of hydrogen. This advanced purification process supports cellular function, offering consumers a refreshing and health-conscious alternative to conventional water. Proper hydration isn't just about drinking water—it's about making smart choices that support your body's needs.

Additionally, consuming foods with high water content, such as cucumbers, and incorporating electrolyte-rich beverages like coconut water and DDW can help maintain fluid balance and prevent dehydration-related fatigue. 'Hydration isn't just about quenching your thirst; it's about fueling your body at the cellular level,' says Arsh Mehta, Founder of CANCRO.

Riyadh Air targets digital innovation, global expansion
RIYADH: Riyadh Air is enhancing the travel experience by leveraging digital technology to simplify bookings and airport procedures, catering to Saudi Arabia's young and tech-savvy population, its CEO said. Speaking at the Public Investment Fund Private Sector Forum, Tony Douglas highlighted Saudi Arabia's young population, noting its high iOS usage per capita and strong digital-native environment. Expected to start operations later this year, the new national carrier — backed by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund — aims to connect over 100 international cities by 2030 and contribute more than $20 billion to the Kingdom's economy. 'We are a new airline unencumbered by legacy,' Douglas said, emphasizing Riyadh Air's digital-first approach. He compared the airline's booking experience to e-commerce platforms like and Amazon, allowing passengers to bundle multiple tickets in a single transaction. Riyadh Air is also exploring biometric verification to replace traditional travel documents. 'Your face is the transaction receipt. Going forward, the face will be the ticket when you go through the airport,' Douglas said. 'Your face then becomes your passport.' By integrating facial recognition into airport processes, Riyadh Air aims to streamline passenger journeys and set a new benchmark for digital transformation in aviation. The airline has already secured major partnerships, including a deal with Delta Air Lines. Douglas highlighted the speed of the agreement, noting that Delta's CEO Ed Bastian finalized the partnership within 30 days of visiting Saudi Arabia — an unprecedented timeline in the industry. He said the warmth of the Kingdom and the opportunity here played a key role, adding: 'We want to bring as many people here directly as possible so they can see for themselves.' Riyadh Air has also partnered with Singapore Airlines, known for its industry-leading customer service. 'We did it again to set the bar absolutely where it should be, with the Kingdom's new national carrier, working with the global A-listers,' Douglas noted. The airline is making significant local investments, including a SR2.3 billion ($613.2 million) catering contract with CATRION and a fuel and sustainability deal with Aramco. Riyadh Air's fleet expansion is underway, with its first Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, Jamila, set to be joined by additional aircraft later this year. 'We're currently engaged in what we would call an extra wide-body campaign,' Douglas said, hinting at an upcoming aircraft order announcement in the second quarter of this year. The airline is also prioritizing Saudi talent, with plans to recruit tens of thousands of pilots, cabin crew, and support staff. 'Wherever possible, where it's capability driven and commercially appropriate, we will always favor going Saudi first,' Douglas said. He positioned Riyadh Air as a key enabler of Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030, aiming to improve global connectivity and facilitate international business and tourism. 'Importantly, we want to connect all of you, your friends, your family, your colleagues, to the world, and of course, for the world to have better connectivity to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia,' he said.

Does Nice One's IPO set a benchmark for beauty and e-commerce deals in the GCC?
January has been drawing to a close amidst a flurry of IPO activity across sectors in Saudi Arabia, but it is the debut of Nice One that has set a benchmark for companies in the beauty and ecommerce space that are looking to scale up. Nice One's IPO had a strong debut this month at $320 million, with the company's share price closing at a 30% high on the first day of trade, the maximum allowed by Tadawul. Shares in the Saudi unicorn were priced at SAR 35 per unit, with the first three weeks of trade witnessing a peak of SAR 64.50 and Tuesday's closing share price settling in at SAR 56.00. Analysts predict this positive momentum could signal more deal-making activity from companies in this sector looking to leverage favourable economic conditions while capitalising on a growing investor appetite for the beauty, retail and e-commerce sector. 'Saudi Arabia's beauty market is on a rapid growth trajectory, driven by factors such as a young population, high spending on luxury products, and increasing e-commerce penetration: 70% of the population shops online,' Vijay Valecha, Chief Investment Officer, Century Financial, told Zawya. The Saudi-based SNB Capital Research, which initiated coverage on Nice One with a Neutral rating and a price target of SAR 53.2, said the beauty and care e-commerce platform provides a 'unique angle to the evolving Saudi retail sector given its tech tilt.' 'We believe the strong growth in the sector and online segment is due to higher spending from middle class, more online options with growing confidence in online shopping and enhancements in the digital infrastructure,' SNB added, saying Saudi's BPC market has one of the highest levels of beauty spend/capita of SAR1,568 in 2023, significantly higher than other key economies. Nadine Nassar, Counsel at the law firm Baker McKenzie, Saudi Arabia, which advised the online beauty retailer on its IPO, said its success was a strong indicator that the beauty, lifestyle and e-commerce sectors in Saudi Arabia and the wider GCC are ripe for further investment and capital markets activity. 'Customers in the region are particularly renowned for their affinity for luxury and high-quality beauty products. Further, being tech-savvy, they favour online shopping, making the e-commerce model and the overall retail landscape highly attractive to businesses and investors,' she said. Digital boom The appeal of the digital marketplace has seen e-commerce platforms like grow exponentially over the years, delivering everything from beauty and fashion to groceries across markets such as the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Egypt. Mohamed Alabbar, Chairman of Emaar Properties, raised $1 billion from backers in 2016, including the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF), to create the platform. With the company riding the e-commerce wave in wake of the COVID-19 lockdown, Alabbar revealed in 2021 that which is Amazon's rival in the region, was set to draw as much as $2 billion in financing from investors including the Saudi sovereign wealth fund over three to four years. An IPO wouldn't be off the table either, for the frontman has spoken publicly about his openness to floating the company's shares in the future. In August 2023, he told UAE state news agency that 'the Arab world is in need of a publicly listed e-commerce entity.' Companies such as the Dubai-based Huda Beauty, created by blogger Huda Kattan and her sisters Mona and Alya in 2013, has also reached a scale that makes them viable for trading. 'Huda Beauty is reportedly exploring the sale of its fast-growing perfume business, signalling increased momentum in the region's beauty industry,' said Valecha, referring to a Bloomberg report from September stating that the company was considering selling all or part of its fast-growing perfume division. According to Nassar, even as her firm is 'actively working on several IPOs across a diverse range of sectors' in Saudi Arabia, she mentioned that there has been a growing interest in sectors that have performed well in recent months. 'The strong start [to 2025] is a promising indicator for the capital markets in Saudi Arabia. This signals continued investor confidence and a positive outlook for the year ahead. We believe that IPOs could emerge as the most effective strategy for companies across various sectors to finance their growth initiatives,' she said.
