The Secret Stars of Earth & Ummah Skincare
What if your skincare routine could feel more like a healing ritual—and less like a chemistry experiment?
These days, it’s easy to get overwhelmed by products full of trendy actives and complicated claims. At Earth & Ummah, we like to keep things simple — and rooted in what’s been trusted for generations. Every jar we make is handcrafted in small batches using ingredients we believe in, ones we use on our own skin and with our own families.
You might already know and love ingredients like mango butter or shea — but some of our favorites are a little less familiar. Quiet, powerful, plant-based heroes that work gently and deeply.
That’s why we’re launching this Ingredient Spotlight Series: to shine a light on the herbs, oils, and infusions that make our skincare feel like sacred care — simple, natural, and deeply nourishing.
Here’s a glimpse of a few we’ll be exploring:
🌼 Calendula
Gentle, golden, and full of healing energy. Calendula has been used for centuries to calm inflammation, support wound healing, and ease irritation. We infuse it slowly into oils to capture its full plant potency — perfect for sensitive or damaged skin.
🌸 Chamomile
Known for its calming aroma, chamomile is equally soothing to the skin. Anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antioxidant-rich, it helps calm redness and irritation. You’ll find it infused in oils across our line, especially in blends designed for reactive or tender skin.
🍑 Apricot Kernel Oil
Light and luxurious, apricot kernel oil is rich in skin-loving vitamins A and E. It absorbs quickly, softens dry patches, and helps keep skin supple without clogging pores. It’s ideal for face and body — and a staple in our True Nature body whip.
💧 Jojoba Oil
Jojoba is not technically an oil — it's a liquid wax that mimics the skin’s natural sebum. That makes it one of the most balancing, protective oils out there. We use it as both a hydrating ingredient and an infusion base for calendula, chamomile, and more.
✨ Rosehip Seed Oil
A rejuvenating oil rich in linoleic acid and natural vitamin A. Rosehip supports collagen, fades discoloration, and helps skin recover from breakouts, dryness, and scarring. It’s a key ingredient in our recovery balm for post-exfoliation glow.
🖤 Black Seed Oil
Revered for its medicinal properties for centuries, black seed oil is deeply healing and restorative. Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, it strengthens the skin barrier and improves resilience — making it a star in our body balm formulas.
🌀 Blue Tansy Essential Oil
This brilliant blue oil is not only beautiful but highly active. It calms reactive skin, reduces inflammation, and soothes flare-ups from acne, eczema, or stress. You’ll find it in our most calming balm for sensitive skin: Samaa Calm.
Why These Ingredients Matter
We don’t add ingredients to impress — we add them to nourish. Our process is slow and intentional, from rendering and purifying our halal grass-fed tallow to infusing oils over days with whole herbs and flowers. Every element is chosen because it brings something your skin truly needs.
These ingredients don’t mask problems — they help the skin restore itself. This is skincare that feels grounding, real, and beautiful. The kind your skin can recognize.
