Silk Road Wellness
Silk Road Wellness is a bold fusion of Eastern and Western herbal knowledge. As the first fully halal skincare and wellness brand in the USA, it is a unique combination of traditional healing systems, prophetic wisdom, and modern beauty standards. There is an abundance of natural ingredients out there and they continue to discover and implement these ingredients into their expanding line of luxurious halal skincare and wellness products.
Silk Road Wellness is a family-operated business. Their quest for a natural holistic lifestyle led them to create a natural skincare line that focuses on many South Asian home remedies and prophetic traditions that they heard about as children.
Once they perfected our all-natural body lotion, they weren’t going to keep it to themselves. Whoever experienced their natural body lotion couldn’t stop asking for more. This is when they decided to reach out to anyone and everyone whose body deserves the gentle and natural touch of their all-natural quality products. This is also when they applied the same formula of building from scratch to our all-natural face masks, lip balms, and face serums.
They are honored yet humbled by the joy they are able to bring with their natural products. They live by this simple rule: “life is too short, live it well.”
