Kohl is more than just a cosmetic; it's an authentic Arab tradition that combines beauty with eye health care. For centuries, Arabs have used pure kohl to improve eye health and enhance natural beauty. At Shadeal, we offer you this natural treasure with the highest standards of quality and authenticity.

Isfahani kohl is a high-quality, natural eyeliner extracted from the kohl stone found in the Isfahan region of Iran. It is known for its numerous benefits for the eyes, such as strengthening vision, increasing eyelash density, and treating eye infections. Its color is said to be reddish, and it is suitable for both men and women due to its therapeutic properties. It is also considered a safe and healthy alternative to synthetic kohl.

What is genuine kohl and what distinguishes it?

Genuine kohl is a natural stone that is carefully ground into a fine powder used as eyeliner. Unlike synthetic kohl filled with chemicals, genuine kohl comes directly from nature, making it a healthy and safe option for daily use.

This natural Saudi kohl is distinguished by its unique therapeutic properties that extend beyond mere aesthetics. It helps cleanse the eyes of impurities, strengthens vision, and noticeably improves eyelash health. Furthermore, it is suitable for all skin types and does not cause allergies or irritation.

Benefits of genuine kohl for the eyes and eyelashes

Eye health care

Original kohl is considered an effective natural remedy for many eye problems. It works by:

  • Cleansing the eye from dust and germs naturally
  • Reduce inflammation and soothe irritation
  • Strengthening eyesight and improving visual clarity
  • Protecting the eyes from dryness and strain
  • Stimulates blood circulation around the eye area

This is a traditional Arabic eyeliner whose use dates back to ancient times, when Arab physicians recommended it for treating various eye problems. Today, personal experiences confirm its effectiveness in maintaining eye health.

Thickening and strengthening eyelashes

One of the most notable benefits of genuine kohl is its amazing ability to improve the appearance of eyelashes:

  • Noticeably increased eyelash density
  • Lengthening and strengthening eyelashes from the roots
  • Prevent eyelash loss and breakage
  • Adding a natural dark color to the eyelashes
  • Nourishing eyelash follicles for healthy growth

The difference between genuine kohl and commercial kohl

Ingredients and Safety

Genuine kohl consists of only one natural ingredient – ground antimony stone – without any chemical additives. Commercial kohl, on the other hand, contains:

  • artificial preservatives
  • Chemical dyes that may be harmful
  • Synthetic perfumes that irritate the eyes
  • Unsafe petroleum products and derivatives
  • Lead and heavy metals in some cheaper brands

These substances may cause chronic allergies, redness, and itching in the eyes, and may even lead to serious health problems in the long term.

long-term results

With genuine kohl, you get cumulative benefits that increase with continued use. Your eyelashes become thicker, your vision improves, and your eyes become healthier and more vibrant.

Commercial kohl eyeliners offer only temporary cosmetic results, but may harm your eye health in the long run. Investing in genuine kohl is an investment in both your health and beauty.
