OUR STORY
Zawina translates to "beautiful" in Moroccan. True beauty is not just about appearance but about how women feel. Every woman radiates beauty when she nurtures herself and embraces her inner softness. At Zawina Morocco, we are dedicated to preserving the ancient Moroccan beauty secrets passed down through generations. Our mothers used traditional remedies and practiced timeless beauty rituals to rejuvenate and nourish themselves. These simple yet magical practices have proven their effectiveness over the centuries, and now, we aim to share them with the world.
Drawing from these ancient traditions, we incorporate the use of potent ingredients such as Argan Oil, Rose Water, Nila powder and Rhassoul Clay - known for their nourishing, hydrating, and rejuvenating properties. These ingredients have been cherished by Moroccan women for generations, and only native to Morocco. Each ingredient is sourced sustainably from local communities, ensuring that traditional practices are preserved while empowering artisans and promoting economic growth. Zawina products are free from harmful chemicals, parabens, and artificial fragrances. We aim to capture the soul of Morocco—its warmth, beauty, and rich traditions—creating a skincare line that nurtures the skin while honouring the heritage that inspires it. Let’s celebrate the artistry of nature, the wisdom of ancient traditions, and the beauty of conscious living.
Camilia, Founder and Owner.
"Hi, my name is Camilia. I am the owner of Zawina Morocco. It's nice to meet you and warm regards from us here at ZM. I am a Moroccan woman who has relocated to Malaysia to raise my family, and it was from here that I started my brand "Zawina Morocco". I grew up in Marrakech, a famously exotic city in the heart of Morocco.
Zawina Morocco began when I first came to Malaysia and was looking for the beauty products, I used in Morocco but found it difficult to find. I also found that the current products in the market were not very good and often diluted with added ingredients - poor imitations of the quality products we have in Morocco.
I am also very passionate about health and wellness, and I have always been fascinated by our traditional beauty rituals. There is something magical and unique about Morocco’s ancient heritage and I thought it would be nice to share it with my new Malaysian community.
Thus, I decided to start my small home business "Zawina Morocco" in Kuala Lumpur, a city which itself is a vibrant, trendy and influential hub of the international beauty and fashion industry. I was excited and nervous for the future but filled with hope and energy.
It also gave me the opportunity to promote and represent my culture in Malaysia, a culture not very well known in this part of the world which made in even more interesting for me as a Moroccan. I love the natural home-grown ingredients of Morocco such as Argan Oil, Black Seed Oil, Rhassoul Clay and Rose Water. It brings to mind memories of Atlas Mountains, Agadir and the Valley of Roses of my homeland.
But life goes on and I am grateful for the life I have built in K.L., my adopted home. I am excited to be able to share these ancient beauty secrets here, a city home to some of warmest and friendliest people in the world. And so began one of the most challenging, yet happiest and most rewarding adventures of my life - an adventure filled with hope and despair, joy and sadness, but ultimately into faith and gratitude for what we are now as a skincare brand.
Since 2019 I started ZM, I am proud, yet humbled, to say that we have grown into a brand that genuinely cares about our customers and are deeply committed to producing only the finest quality Moroccan skincare products for our community. We are grateful for your support, and we hope to continue to be able to share with you the rich culture of my beauty heritage. Thank you for making an effort to get to know us. We appreciate your time, and we hope to see you again
