AL-ASMAD ALHARMAIN Kuhl Al-Athmad (Black Kohl/Surma) with Zam Zam & Rose Water

The Traditional Black Kohl: AL-ASMAD ALHARMAIN

The word Kohl (or Kajal/Surma) has been an essential part of beauty and eye care in the Middle East, South Asia, and Africa for centuries. This specific product, labeled “KUHL AL-ATHMAD” (كُحْل الإِثْمَد), is based on the highly-regarded tradition of Ithmid Kohl.

AL-ASMAD ALHARMAIN is a premium black kohl powder, known for its deep, rich Aswad (أسود – Black) pigment that dramatically defines the eyes.²

Key Features & Traditional Benefits

This unique formulation is enhanced with natural elements for a soothing application:

• Infused with Zam Zam Water & Rose Water: The traditional practice of cooling the kohl with ماء زمزم و مياه وردة (Zam Zam water and rose water) is believed to provide a cooling, soothing, and refreshing sensation upon application, helping to relieve dryness and irritation.³
• Deep Black Pigment: Creates a bold, defined, and long-lasting look for both cosmetic enhancement and ceremonial use.⁴
• Strengthens and Thickens Eyelashes: Based on traditional use of Ithmid kohl, it is believed to help stimulate hair growth and contribute to naturally longer, fuller eyelashes.⁵
• Soothes Eye Discomfort: Historically used to help protect the eyes from dust, glare, and airborne particles, and known for its soothing and comforting effects.
• Complete Traditional Set: Includes a small, elegant vial of powder kohl and a dedicated wooden applicator stick (Mirwad), which allows for the authentic and precise application along the waterline.⁷

How to Use (Traditional Application)

1. Prepare: Ensure your kohl stick (Mirwad) is clean.
2. Dip: Insert the stick fully into the kohl container and gently rotate to coat it evenly with powder.
3. Apply: Close your eye and place the stick on the inner corner of your lower waterline. Gently draw the stick across the entire eye line, allowing the kohl to line both the upper and lower lids.⁸

    

4. Repeat: For a deeper color and maximum traditional benefit, repeat the application on the same eye (traditionally in an odd number of strokes, such as three times).⁹ Repeat for the other eye.
