IN PARTNERSHIP: The clean beauty movement has shown no sign of slowing down, especially in the UAE where educated shoppers are not willing to settle for any brands that contain parabens, sulfates, phthalates and artificial fragrances among many more. 

However, the beauty market is a busy one, and many of the ‘organic’, ‘natural’, ‘green’, ‘eco’ or ‘non-toxic’ claims don’t hold much weight as there are no legal standards for these labels. The search for clean brands can be challenging, but the newly launched Glow Getters platform has done all the hard work to bring you the best ethical products on the global market to the UAE. 

Driven by a passion for clean beauty and eagerness towards sustainability, Glow Getters has seen the demand for conscious beauty and lifestyle products in the region and are determined to deliver “purpose-driven brands, thoughtfully curated collections and multi-purpose products” such as Plenaire, Sansceuticals, Codex Beauty and NUORI, straight to your doorstep.

“We are extremely selective about brand partnerships, researching everything from the ingredients to the fine print on the label artwork before launching products on our e-commerce website,” the Emirati founders explained. “We have scoured the globe to find the absolute best brands whose values align with ours and whose products and ethos we believe in. We make sure to connect with brand founders as much as we can to learn about each brand’s story and unique ideals. We find that our customers enjoy this journey of brand discovery just as much as we do.”

Housing cult favourites that you already know such as Grown Alchemist and DAVINES, as well as some newbies that haven’t been readily available in the UAE before, Glow Getters stock 12 brands at the moment and are already tracking down more to add to their carefully curated edit.

“We’re constantly on the lookout for new clean and sustainable brands that align with our goals,” they said. “At the moment, we’ve reached out to a few regional brands but nothing has been finalized. We’re open to supporting regional brands as much as we can.”
