How to Use Hydrosols

• Use with face or body oil to help the skin absorb the oil.
• Spray your skin generously with the hydrosol, then apply the oil while your skin is still damp. This process offers the same benefits as using a cream or lotion, just without the additional emulsifiers and preservatives.
• Spray your face 3 to 4 times a day to rejuvenate your skin. This will keep your skin plump, nourished, hydrated and looking its best ever.
• Use it to set your makeup. Sprinkle a little on after you’ve finished applying your makeup to help it stay in place. An after makeup mist will give your skin a wonderfully dewy finish and will help your makeup look more natural

As with all of our concepts, the authentic integration of nature, plants, people, and the culture of this beautiful country is central to everything we do.

We are proud to share our first journey into Jordan in partnership with The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, L.L.C. Together with The Herball, we set out to design something never experienced before in Amman: a circular, holistic, and sustainable drinks programme that supports the local community.

The Vision: A Drinks Concept Not Yet Experienced in Amman

The goal was to create a beverage experience that was entirely alcohol-free, yet sophisticated, complex, and deeply rooted in Jordanian terroir. This meant moving away from imported, mass-produced mixers and toward local, foraged, and distilled botanicals.

The programme was built on four key pillars:

1. Sustainability – A circular system that minimises waste and maximises local resources.

Also known as Halim, Asaliya, or Habb al‑Rashad – a nutrient‑dense seed traditionally used for wellness.

Two studies were conducted in cooperation with University of Science and Technology

Did you know that the by‑product of black seed oil pressing can be a valuable protein‑rich supplement for livestock? In a groundbreaking study conducted in cooperation with the Jordan University of Science and Technology, researchers found that including black seed meal in the diet of Awassi sheep led to significant improvements in both growth and reproductive performance. This is a prime example of how sustainable by‑products can actively contribute to animal health and productivity.

Black Seeds, Honey, and Covid 19

Navigating the wealth of online information about natural wellness during the pandemic can be overwhelming, but you've found two of the most promising natural ingredients studied for immune support: Black Seed Oil and Honey.

While it's crucial to remember that no food or supplement can cure or prevent COVID-19, scientific research has been exploring the potential benefits of these traditional remedies. A pivotal 2021 clinical trial found that a combination of honey and black seed (Nigella sativa) significantly reduced symptom duration and even improved recovery rates in patients with moderate to severe cases. Further studies have reinforced these findings, with one 2023 trial showing a remarkable 86% recovery rate when the mixture was used as a supportive therapy. Researchers believe that the powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compounds in both honey and black seed oil may help calm the dangerous "cytokine storm" that can make COVID-19 so
