ABOUT ISHQ SKINCARE
Our History
Ishq in Urdu means Love.
I come from a long line of healers in Southern India. One half of the family have been gifted "yunani" (greek medicine) healers and the other half were renowned Sufis, spiritual advisors to kings, and spiritual guides to the people who became their disciples. I have grown up absorbing the wisdom from both branches that was passed on to us in little and big ways.
Ishq is rooted in the ancient values of my family. These values are practiced by indigenous people all over the world - buying local, eating food that’s in season, rotating your skincare with the change in seasons, making sure people growing & making your goods are being paid a fair living wage. If you don’t pay attention to that, then it doesn’t matter if you’re using the most expensive skincare products, your soul will be unhappy and it will show on your skin.
Ishq’s mission is to make organic skincare simple, sustainable and accessible for everyone while supporting racial & social justice causes locally & globally. Our ingredients are either grown by Portland farmers or sourced from local Portland companies. As are our glass jars, which are also reusable & recyclable.
It is this combination of ancestral recipes and hyper local, pure ingredients that make your Ishq Skincare & Haircare products magical. You have found healing in them when all else has failed. To share my ancestral healing, my family’s love with you is an honor. May Ishq envelop you with all the Love and Goodness that’s put in it
