Really great product! Decided to
"Really great product! Decided to try it with the traditional stick to see if I would like it and I do. It helps my vision a great deal on very bright and sunny days. I'll purchase either the golden copper applicator or olive wood applicator next to get the most authentic experience from my ithmad kohl."

Rooted in the Sunnah
خير أكحالكم الإثمد، يجلو البصر وينبت الشعر
“The best of your kohl is Ithmid, for it clears the vision and makes the hair grow.”Sunan Ibn Majah 3497
Ithmid holds a special place in Islamic tradition and has been used for generations to beautify the eyes and lashes.
Using kohl is more than a beauty routine. It is a simple, meaningful way to revive a Sunnah in your daily life.

Black or Isfahani red?
Two genuine Ithmid stones
Black Ithmid
- Soft, smoky charcoal color for a natural look
- Deeper, bolder definition
- Long-lasting, one application can last all day
Isfahani Red Ithmid
- A rare red kohl named for the Persian city of Isfahan
- Lighter, finer and smoother, with a soft burgundy-brown tint

Questions
Premium Authentic Ithmid Kohl | Traditional Arabian Kohl for Eye Care & Beauty, answered
Everything customers ask before their first bottle.
Is this kohl safe to use?
It is a single-ingredient kohl, 100% pure Ithmid stone with no fillers, no additives and nothing synthetic. It is lab tested and lead-free. It is for external cosmetic use around the eyes only.
Can men wear kohl?
Yes. Ithmid has been worn by both men and women for centuries, and it gives a soft, natural definition rather than a made-up look.
How long does one bottle last?
Each 3 ml bottle lasts up to a full year with daily use.
Which applicator should I choose?
The olive wood set is our recommended choice and comes with a filling funnel. The golden copper set is the heritage edition, also with a funnel. The traditional stick is the simplest way to apply, straight from the bottle.
Black or Isfahani red?
Isfahani red is lighter, finer and smoother with a soft burgundy-brown tint. Black gives a deeper, smoky charcoal definition. Both are genuine Ithmid.
I wear contact lenses. Can I use it?
If you wear contact lenses, have an eye condition, or have had recent eye surgery, consult your eye doctor before use.
