Hi
I always use the forwarding company Shop and Ship, no matter whether I order through Amazon US or the brand itself. Usually, shipments from Amazon get to my doorstep within 5-7 days. Have you tried them?

Hi – similar to Bahareh, I also use mail forwarding companies like Shop & Ship or Boxit4me to redirect orders to Dubai. The idea is that when you create your account, they give you “local” addresses worldwide. So if a product is coming from the US and they don’t ship internationally, you would use the US address provided by the forwarding company, and once they receive it, it gets redirected to you in Dubai.
However, there are also lower toxic brands that ship directly to the UAE so you can avoid the middle man.
It would also help if you specified what exactly you need, because not everything in a brand is “clean” or works well. I usually mix and match.
But here are some cleaner brands that you can look into:
-Baeblu
-HAN
-Kosas
-Lily LoloAnd here are some “not as clean but lower toxic” brands as well that I believe ship directly to Dubai:
-RMS Beauty
-The Organic Pharmacy (mascara and liquid blush are good)
-Alima Pure
-Ilia
-Westmin Atelier (very expensive)
-Kjaerweis (also very expensive)Hope this helps.

Thank you both! I have not tried shop & ship yet, can look into it..
I actually don’t use a lot of make up but I really want to swap my foundation to a low to one.. I already ordered Ilia mascara from Amazon direct that arrived but then 2x trying out ordering foundations from the us and they just say they delivered but the tracking doesn’t even show if came to the country.
I would love to try HAN or RMS but didn’t know RMS would deliver here.. also sometimes shipping cost almost as much as the product which is super annoying.
Hence I was hoping there is a secret place in Dubai.. there would be market for it so I’m so sad we don’t have local shopping options.
Thank you

who portal are you using? I’ll try perhaps but want to choose a replicable company. Thank you ☺️

I know, it’s a bummer they don’t have cleaner options available here. The Organic Pharmacy used to have a store here, but they closed down.
Since I also don’t use a lot of make-up, I usually stock up on the basics when I travel abroad and since most have a 1+ year shelf-life, they keep well if unopened.
As for foundation, this brand is very clean: https://www.100percentpure.com/products/fruit-pigmented-full-coverage-water-foundation
They ship internationally but not to the UAE unfortunately, so you can test out Shop & Ship or Boxit4Me and see if it’s worth it… or if you know someone travelling or if you’ll be travelling soon, then shipping it to yourself there.
Wish I had a better solution for you… but hope this helps.

Hi, Ilia is stocked locally on Powder Beauty. Com, a locally run enterprise. There’s free delivery for above a certain threshold & they also stock many other clean brands
