It’s a Zurmah December!

It’s a Zurmah December!
As we get geared up for the winter to set in fully, there’s just a little bit more we can do to calm our nerves and relax. At Ahad, we recommend the lavender range of soaps, creams and face washes. Zurmah is curated with the beautiful fragrance from the oils of the lavender plant and helps stimulate a sense of calmness and wellness.
This renowned plant has a unique scent and has often been described as a mix of mint and rosemary with floral accents. Lavandula angustifolia has been known for its luxurious aroma and healing powers. While Victorian ladies used lavender oil as perfumes, it has been known to be used as an antiseptic in the First World War. Much more than just a botanic then isn’t it!
Excellent for inducing a serene state of mind and promoting sleep, these products also help reduce stress and anxiety. The mild but beautifully fragrant soaps made from therapeutic essential oils have a wonderful scent profile and are great for toning and revitalizing skin. The face wash can be used on all skin types and is especially effective for acne, oily skin, boils and burns…Did you know that lavender is a natural insect repellent too? With antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties, it can help keep many skin problems at bay.
So lather on that gentle all-natural soap and wash away the stress. Rejuvenate and detoxify with that comforting moisturiser and get ready for a Zurmah December!
Products Available-
Soap, Face Wash, Cream for face & hands.

Almond ka Rahasya!

Kabhi meetha, kabhi karwa – yeh hai badaam ki khoobi. Some of you may twitch your nose but here’s something that’s loved by many!!
Eating almonds became part of my routine when my father was posted to Kabul, Afghanistan.  The first snow in our lawns, the barfeeli hawa and popping almonds to keep our body warm, just as the locals did, became a ritual. My mother would  put a handful in  my pocket as I boarded the school bus and this continues as I get close to 60! Well now, my husband remembers to soak them every night. You see 14 here ( 7 are for him 😃) and that’s the first thing we eat each morning. The ritual continues!!

Today I am writing about badaam – the almond soap from the Tvach collection. Composed of glycerine, essential oil, almond oil, badaam has anti-aging properties, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, keeps the skin supple and toned. Ideal food for dry skin, almond oil enhances the appearance of the skin making it soft and smooth. At Ahad, we use sweet and bitter almond oils in the soaps. They are available on the shelves throughout the year for all who have dry skin.

In winters it is beneficial for all skin types. Always remember- the more you try to remove oil, the more your body produces. So if we remove all elements of oil from our skin, it can lead to early wrinkles and a dull skin. Almond soaps can also be customized for exfoliation by adding almond shell powder and the minimum order is 6 bars. Since we have customised orders in hand at all times, a period of 2 weeks is required to work as each soap is hand crafted.

One design can be  boring, I love to see the same soap in different shapes and sizes on the shelves of Ahad.Our clients have gifted them at special occasions like birthday parties and baby showers. The excitement on the children’s faces as they receive butterfly, cradle, baby feet shaped soaps as return gifts is priceless!
Staying with the theme of the badaam story, ahad’s Rahasya collection has badaam cream packaged in 50 ml & 100 ml environmentally friendly glass jars. The hand and face creams keep the skin hydrated, moisturised and works magically on dry skin.
Watch this space for some amazing offers on badaam. Stay hydrated, stay fresh, stay beautiful!
Much Love,

Festive Collection

2020 has witnessed a unique situation where safety precedented celebration and togetherness. At Ahad, we continued the tradition of Diwali with new accents and moods. Accessories which lit up the vibes and fragrances that lifted spirits were in abundance at the studio.

Every understated element has a story, right from the rose quartz and tiger eye Ganesh, to the peetal pieces and candles. Packing the handcrafted boxes of customized gifts gave me a ray of hope for the future in these tough times.

After the Diwali festivities, we closed for a week to gear up with winter care products and Christmas surprises. So as I reflect on the year gone by with my cup of herbal tea, the mogra ki Khushboo lingering in the background, I am looking forward to a new beginning with a lot more positivity. On this note, we will continue to spread joy as the new year comes along. Stay tuned for more…
Much Love

My Yuvraan

Never runneth – out – of – battery radio, my Yuvraan.

Life is beautiful with you…
We’ve travelled to planets
on our Amazon rockets,
We’ve collected sand and shells,
from Goan beaches to our Noida room,
We’ve used the parachute as our tent, and made memories aplenty.
My life has meaning with my greys, wrinkles and mostly you❤️❤️

You bring a smile to my face every time I hear your little secrets, your tiny whispers and that sudden high pitched potty ho gayiiiiiiiiie’ which continues till six.

You leave home every fort night packing up your toys, to live with daadi
forever! Sachii!! 💕
I miss you Yuvraan, especially on special days like this-when you leave your daadi alone
to celebrate with the rest!

May you grow wiser with each passing year. God be with you always. A very happy birthday Tidddayy!! Lots and lots of love, daaadi.
