What does Gilguzi means?Gilguzi, which means Pine in Pashto, holds a special place in my heart as it reminds me of my childhood in Paktia, Afghanistan. Growing up surrounded by lush pine forests, I developed a deep appreciation for this natural wonder. Pine oil is highly valued for its therapeutic and cosmetic benefits, and I take pride in knowing that it's a significant export of Afghanistan. With a passion for skincare, I hope to import high-quality pine oil from Afghanistan to use in my products.

What is organic sunscreen?Organic sunscreen refers to a type of sunscreen that is made from natural, organic ingredients. These ingredients are derived from plants, minerals, and other natural sources, and do not contain harmful chemicals like oxybenzone or octinoxate, which are commonly found in conventional sunscreens. Organic sunscreens use physical barriers like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide to block UV rays from penetrating the skin. They are free of synthetic fragrances, parabens, and other potentially harmful ingredients, making them a safer option for people with sensitive, acne and eczema-prone skin or those who prefer to use natural products.

What is 'Invisible Zinc'?Zinc oxide is a mineral-based sunscreen that creates a physical barrier on the skin, reflecting and scattering the UV rays before they can penetrate the skin. Invisible Zinc means to be "invisible" because the zinc oxide particles used in their sunscreens are micronized, making them smaller and less visible on the skin than traditional zinc oxide sunscreens. This makes it a good option for those who want a mineral-based sunscreen without the white, pasty appearance often associated with zinc oxide products.
