Mariam Abu Rakeek The story of Mariam Abu Rakeek, founder of Desert Daughter, is unique. Born into a traditional Bedouin family with a long history of healing and knowledge of desert plant and their uses, she was attracted to the world of medicinal plants. She used to wander in the desert picking plants with healing properties to bring back to her grandmother. While studying in England, she noticed a growing awareness of the importance of natural healing. At the same time, back home, she saw how her own community left behind their natural lifestyle. And lost their holistic views of the world. Returning home after her studies she decided to take up her ancestors’ traditions and combined this with formal learning in medicinal herbs at a local college and developed a small business. This, not only for self fulfillment, but for the honorable purpose of preserving the environment and maintaining old traditions.

The company uses natural products with high percentage of active natural ingredients. As a result, the treatment products provide efficient solutions for various skin problems. The cosmetic products will help users to keep skin supple, moist and full of vitality.
