Be Artisan’s floral Amira perfume

Moroccan skin, body and hair care have long been touted for their beauty benefits, so Mehdi Moussaoui, a French-Moroccan expat who’s the top hairstylist at La Provence salon in Central Square BGC, wanted to bring a Moroccan beauty brand here that Filipinos would love. He chose Be Artisan Moroccan Beauty Heritage because it’s clean, all-natural, organic, cruelty- and toxin-free, and ethically made with the highest-quality argan oil and other ingredients by a community of Moroccan women who benefit from the proceeds.

Room perfumes in Orange Blossom, Oud and Verbena

“Be Artisan is one of the top three beauty brands in Morocco,” Moussaoui says, “and their prices are very reasonable.”

Indeed, Be Artisan’s most pricey products are the 50-ml eau de parfums with oud like Aoud FES at P3,650. Everything else is priced below, like you can get 50 ml of Certified Pure Argan Oil for hair, skin and nails at only P1,520, while beautifully packaged handmade soaps perfect for gifting are P660.

Be Artisan’s bestsellers include the Romantic Body and Hair oil that’s relaxing and softening for all skin types; Facial Intense Exfoliant with honey, oil and prickly pear powder to refine skin texture; the Rose Water and Rose body scrub that gently exfoliates; the fragrance-free Sun Care cream with high-protection SPF 50+; the Henna Powder in rose, honey, mint and seven-herb “flavors” that are good for tanning; and the Prickly Pear Seed Oil, a 100% bio oil that is the line’s best anti-aging and rapid wrinkle repair treatment — they even have a Prickly Pear concealer.

My picks? The Slimming Massage Oil for body; the Romantic fragrance, which is great for date night; and the gourmand Oriental shower oil, which smells good enough to eat.

Be Artisan also has a men’s line, though all the products are unisex. They even offer home scents and reed diffusers.

Best of all, for Christmas they offer gift boxes and a special promo: buy six products and get one product of equal or lesser value for free.
