What We Are Buying Today: Snowhite Arabia beauty products

The Saudi beauty market is saturated with shelves lined with creams, serums and promises. If you have entered a local pharmacy recently, you likely already noticed Snowhite Arabia’s products — the distinct pink packaging is hard to miss.

Consider this your sign to try it.

Founded in 2014 by Heba Al-Madani as a home-based workshop, Snowhite Arabia has since evolved into a substantial operation, manufactured at Al-Madani’s factory for Snowhite Est., proudly labeled with the “Saudi Made” stamp.

I started with the hand cream, which the package recommends using twice a day while avoiding direct sun exposure. The formula includes avocado oil, aloe vera juice and mango butter, among other ingredients.

The Snowhite hand cream is moisturizing and fragrant, but without a greasy or overly perfumed aftermath. After a few uses, my dry-prone hands felt noticeably smoother.

I also like how it is vibrantly-colored so I can easily fish it out of my tote bag to reapply when I am out and about.

For the home, I tried the Moroccan soap in the bath. Its dark color, slimy texture and pungent smell were slightly alarming at first. Once worked with a bit of water, it foamed easily, and I learned quickly that a little goes a long way. I now like it.

Snowhite Arabia also offers hair masks and other products, though these are the only ones I have tried so far. I am looking forward to trying the broccoli shampoo next.

For now, the hand cream stands out as the most practical winter companion and my current local favorite.

DUBAI: French Algerian singer and songwriter Lolo Zouai this week dropped a new music video for her single “Holding On” and announced that her upcoming album, “Reverie,” will be released on April 24.

The track, which blends R&B and dance-pop elements, explores themes of grief and memory. Its accompanying music video is dedicated to Zouai’s close friend Hanna Rosa Hotchkiss who died in 2021.

In a statement shared on Instagram, Zouai said the album reflects a period of personal change.

“This record was made through three years of grief, growth, and reflection. I had to lose myself to find myself again. I couldn’t have done it without my angel, Hanna.”

“Thank you to my collaborators, my friends, and my Lo-riders who held me down through it all,” she added. “I hope it heals you the way it healed me.”

Zouai teased the album earlier this year writing: “2026. ALBUM SUBMITTED. LET’S… GOOO,” on Instagram, sharing a carousel of images of herself.

In 2024, Zouai dropped several tracks, including her “Please Hold” EP featuring “jetlag” and “UNHHH,” along with “mute” and “Potential.”

In June 2024, she also announced that she had written a song for K-pop group NewJeans for their Japanese debut.

Known for her blend of R&B, club-pop and hip-hop, she has gained an international fan base for her dynamic stage presence and genre-blending music.

Her career highlights include the release of a debut album “High Highs to Low Lows” in 2019, which features 12 tracks, and a follow-up “PLAYGIRL” in 2022, which has 13 tracks.

After the album’s release in October 2022, Zouai was featured on a billboard in New York’s Times Square.
