Glossic, where glamour meets nourishment in every sparkling drop.
Founded by a former corporate powerhouse employee who, after years in a high-pressure, male- dominated industry, decided it was time for a change.
I always harbored dreams of entrepreneurship, but it was scary to venture into the unknown. Where do you start? Where does the investment come from? Do I truly want to risk my life savings for this? Do I want to leave my very well-paid career for this? And the hundred other questions that followed.
Yearning to carve my path, I pondered various business ideas until one day, a spark ignited in the beauty industry, and so it started.
Undeterred, I took a leap of faith, bidding farewell to my rewarding job in Dubai. Opting for a change in scenery, I embarked on a European holiday, spending days on the beaches contemplating my next move.
My doubts rushed back; after all, I had worked hard to get where I was. My parents had sacrificed everything to immigrate abroad for me and my sisters to have a better life. After so many years of hard work and odd jobs to move to Dubai and build a career, I let it all go in one day.
The breakthrough came while lounging on a European beach, deep in thought, and wondering if I should beg for my job back. Mesmerized by the sparkling sand, I thought it could be cool if there was an oil that not only sparkled but could nourish and shield the skin. After going through countless boring bottles of suntan oil due to my sensitive skin, it seemed like the most brilliant idea of the whole summer.
So, I thought, why can’t there be a product that’s not only glamorous but nourishing but also suitable for sensitive skin? And that's how Glossic was born.
I spent the rest of the summer tinkering with my makeup bag, reinventing every product in and out that showed potential.
Glossic was named after our very first product, the suntan oil, it comes after glow – glamour and nourish.
My story unfolds as a testament to resilience, creativity, courage, innovation, and the pursuit of a dream that crystallized into Glossic.
Where the allure of instant glamour meets the enduring glow of nourished beauty.
Over the years, I developed allergies to many products, and that is why all our formulas are developed from scratch for sensitive skin and are not intended to cause any harm. There are no shortcuts or compromises - a GLOSSIC product will always contain the highest quality ingredients available.
Things hadn't been easy; I had to figure out a lot of things on my own from a young age to get to this point. Developing Glossic was no different. It was hard work and a long journey to get to where I am today.
I am not a makeup artist or a beauty guru; I am just a normal girl with a passion for creativity and a wish to protect my body and skin from harmful chemicals, and I chose to develop that in the beauty sector.
And so, Glossic was born in Dubai, a city where I had worked very hard to get to. When I was younger, I worked many odd jobs to save enough money to move here and escape the chilling weather in Northern Europe. I struggled to find a job here in the beginning as I had no network and basically knew no one. But after all these years, this city has given me so much. Reflecting back, I have been single here, I met my husband and started a family here, been poor and jobless, made a successful career, and now, finally, I am a business owner. I owe so much to this city that I now call it my home, and I am proud of Glossic for being a Dubai-born brand.
