JEDDAH: The first Saudi natural pharmacy in the country, Sun Pharmacy is specialized in providing fully organic daily skin and personal care products from safe resources, founded by an ambitious young woman.
Amani Daghriri started her business in 2018. Before Sun Pharmacy, she wrote an Arabic cookbook considered the first of its kind to include all-vegan raw recipes.
“I have followed a healthy lifestyle for over 15 years, and as a woman passionate about healthy organic alternative products, I started to make a fully organic toothpaste, deodorant, and shampoo for my personal use,’’ Daghriri told Arab News.
She was encouraged to start the business after support and positive feedback she received from family and friends about the three products.
During her travels to Bali, she was amazed and inspired by the great quality of local natural products. “I used to think that only imported natural cosmetics would have the best quality, but then I realized how possible it was to create your own line locally from the bounties of nature.”
She thought about transforming her three products into a bigger business. “Since I was in Bali, this desire of mine to create skincare products from natural resources kept growing.”
Once Daghriri returned to Jeddah, she started to do research and conduct surveys to investigate how people would take to the idea of fully natural skincare products.
“People were open to giving such products a try, and so I decided to create my pharmacy,” she added.
Today, Sun Pharmacy provides over 50 products. “At the time when I was in Bali, I did not imagine that I would be able to make a fully effective and natural sunblock that gives you a real result — I used to think all products must include chemicals.”
She added: “Diversity of nature helps in creating an alternative for all manufactured skincare products with a quality that is beyond expectations.”
One of the things that Daghriri shed light on was how essential it is to adopt the concept of skincare, saying it is “a lifestyle more than a self-care.”
Sun Pharmacy’s products are homemade and packaged and are soon to be fully produced in a local factory.
The pharmacy’s products are anti-oxidant and anti-fungal and have their own formulas to last longer without preservatives, made of natural, vegan oils.
Sun Pharmacy offers a wide range of products including skin care, facials, personal care, soaps, organic drinks and food, gemstone accessories, home accessories, and much more. To find more about the pharmacy visit: www.sunpharmacy.shop

Arab designers shine bright at the Golden Globes
DUBAI/ LOS ANGELES: Arab designers dressed a handful of stars at the 83rd Annual Golden Globes on Sunday, with talent from Lebanon, Egypt and Saudi Arabia among the designers to be featured on the awards ceremony red carpet.
Show host Nikki Glaser took to the red carpet at the event in a baby pink gown by Lebanese designer Zuhair Murad.
The outfit, one of many costume changes for Glaser on Sunday night, hailed from his Resort 2026 collection.
For her part, Kylie Jenner was spotted at the awards ceremony in a custom-made silver gown by Saudi couturier Mohammed Ashi, the founder of Paris-based label Ashi Studio.
Irish TV personality Maura Higgins looked elegant in a figure-hugging black gown with a textured golden shawl-like accessory by Dubai-based Egyptian designer Marmar Halim.
Timothee Chalamet and a sea of other stars also said goodbye to color at this year's Golden Globes, opting instead for black.
Ariana Grande left behind her “Wicked” character's signature pink color for a black Vivienne Westwood couture dress but brought back her ponytail. Other notable celebrities in black included Ayo Edebiri, Selena Gomez, Miley Cyrus and Mia Goth.
Edebiri chose a black off-the-shoulder Chanel dress embellished with jewels on the shoulders from Matthieu Blazy’s Métiers d’Art 2026 show.
Celebrities held onto their gowns and watched their steps as they posed for photos on high stairs that served as the red carpet. Like the Met Gala, they lined up at the bottom and had to perilously climb their way up.
The 83rd Golden Globes gives a glimpse into how celebrities will showcase their original take on fashion as the awards season progresses. Since 1944, the show has honored the best in film and television.
The carpet, at The Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California, is a chance for nominees to make a statement, though some are beholden to fashion houses who pay them as ambassadors.
Several, including George Clooney, wore Giorgio Armani. The fashion world lost Armani in September, but his eponymous brand lives on.
“It was nice to see so many attendees, including Julia Roberts and Kate Hudson, wearing the brand and pay tribute,” said Véronique Hyland, fashion features director for Elle.
Stars also shone in metallics. “Sentimental Value” actor Renate Reinsve twirled on the carpet in a shimmery silver tasseled dress by Nicolas Ghesquiere for Louis Vuitton. Her co-star Elle Fanning's Gucci dress was embroidered with Norwegian flowers in honor of their Norwegian drama film.
