We are a family owned, operated and funded business running as a mother-daughter team.

KATHERINE’S STORY

In 2007, while on vacation in Morocco from my home in New York City, I was introduced to Argan Oil and personally experienced its benefits on my own skin. Intrigued by the story of its unique production methods while recognizing a need in the marketplace for simple, yet elevated, organic skincare, I decided to create the skincare line I wanted to use with this ingredient at its core. Working with an experienced chemist, I set out to create Kahina Giving Beauty, a simple, effective, safe, and beautifully packaged line of skin and body care products, inspired by Morocco and made in the US, with a decidedly New York aesthetic.

Since then, I have made multiple trips to Morocco to personally source the finest argan oil, which is at the heart of our products. I have had the good fortune to get to know the Berber women of Morocco who do the hard work of extracting the oil for Kahina and to see firsthand how their work, as well as our practice of giving back to these women and their communities, has made a positive difference in their lives.

I have done my best to honor the Berber women of Morocco by bringing them to life for our customers, in the hopes that you might understand and share in the spirit behind Giving Beauty.

The Berber women have kindly opened their homes and hearts to me to share a glimpse of their lives, although it hasn’t always been easy to capture in photographs because of their modesty. In the spirit of women connecting through shared beauty rituals, I invite you to discover the story of Kahina and to share your own stories via Instagram using the hashtag #kahinagivingbeauty.

THE KAHINA VISION

Our company, Giving Beauty, aims to deliver the highest quality skincare while providing economic independence to those who work to provide our raw materials.

For the Berber women who inhabit the argan forest in the Southwest of Morocco, the hard work of extracting argan oil offers them their only means of financial and social independence. We pay fair wages and donate an additional percentage of our revenue to programs that improve the lives of these women and their families.
