As a Woman founder, it is important to highlight Women founded brands we carry for Women’s History Month and beyond. Brands that give back are important to us and receive our complete admiration. This first blog post is dedicated to one of the brands, Senteurs d’Orient, which we are thrilled to offer and highlight their beautiful story.
Senteurs d’ Orient stakes its claim in Beirut, the oldest soap-making region of the world where is still a beautiful art and skilled practice. Founded and run by a mother and daughter duo that share their culture through their striking products. The Orient part of their name comes from a childhood spent in Tokyo and meshing the Eastern influences. The Fusing of the two regions has produced a magnificent range of clean, vegan skincare products.
Hana and Sara are deeply committed to empowering and providing opportunities to women in Beirut, where their products are lovingly made. Their brand has been rooted in socially and environmentally responsible practices from the start and part of the United Nations Global Compact and that is something to cheer loudly about - we are here for it!
Senteurs d’Orient is actively committed to improving the lives of women through education and career opportunities in Lebanon. To do so they founded the Senteurs Women Initiatives in 2011, a program in partnership with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) to empower and educate women in Lebanon.
