Best Lebanese Wellness and Natural Health Brands

Lebanon’s hills are full of wild thyme, sage and flowering plants, and many local makers build their products around those plants, beeswax and olive oil. Others work with imported raw butters but prepare everything by hand at home. The list below mixes product makers you can order from with a couple of places to book a treatment.

How we chose

Every brand here is listed in the Made in Liban directory and makes its products or offers its services in Lebanon. We favored makers whose listings explain their ingredients and methods, and we added a few soap makers whose bars fit a natural care routine. We have not tested any of the products, and nothing here is medical advice; descriptions come from each listing.

Herbal and hive products

BARRIA Lebanon

Named after the Arabic word for wilderness, BARRIA grows native plants in the hills of Batroun using sustainable methods and times each product to the plant’s natural growth cycle. From its free-foraging hives come honey, pollen, propolis and royal jelly, and from the plants it makes dried herbs, herbal teas, essential oils and hydrosols. It also runs workshops on biodiversity and bees and is a stop on the Batroun HoneyBee Route. Visit BARRIA Lebanon

Body, skin and hair care

Joud Al Rif

Physiotherapist Salma Fares founded this Antelias brand, and her own experience with psoriatic arthritis shaped its focus on comfort and care. Its signature hand-poured massage candles melt into a warm oil for the skin, and the range adds body butters, scrubs, bath salts, lip balms and a hair serum. Everything is made by hand in Lebanon by a team of women, and the brand supplies spas and clinics and offers private label production. Visit Joud Al Rif

Karité et Coco

Journalist Nisreen Ezzeddine came to know shea, cocoa and coconut while living in Africa, and back in Lebanon she started this brand in Furn el-Chebbak. One half of the line is pure, unblended butters and oils, including yellow and ivory shea butter, cocoa butter and coconut oil. The other half is her own blends, such as the DecaGlow Hair Oil and a whipped Body Butter Blend, all prepared by hand in Lebanon.

Handcrafted in Lebanon and shipped worldwide, these essential oils, serums and body and hair oils are made without harsh synthetics.

Tips

Read ingredient lists carefully, especially if you have allergies or sensitive skin, and patch test new body products first.
Talk to a doctor or pharmacist before starting a dietary supplement or herbal blend, particularly if you take other medication.
Store essential oils, hydrosols and natural butters away from heat and direct sunlight.
Let olive oil soap bars dry between uses so they last longer.
For spa visits, book ahead and mention any health conditions when you reserve.
