Isfahani Red Ithmid Kohl | Soft Burgundy Kohl for Eye Care & Natural Beauty
$34.99
Discover Isfahani Red Ithmid, a rare red kohl named for the historic Persian city of Isfahan, where kohl has been treasured for generations.
Isfahani Ithmid is a lighter red stone, ground into an ultra-fine, silky powder with a soft burgundy-brown tone. It is a single-ingredient kohl with no fillers, no additives, and nothing synthetic. It is lab tested and lead-free, so you can enjoy a traditional practice with confidence.
Its fine, smooth grind gives a comfortable feel along the waterline, making it a favorite for nightly Sunnah use and for anyone who prefers a gentler kohl. During the day, it gives a warm, subtle definition that reads more natural than black. Each 3ml bottle lasts up to a full year with daily use.
