Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our ethos, our formula, and how to bring it into your daily ritual.
The Sunnah Intent & Brand Philosophy
What is the meaning and intent behind “The Sunnah Edit”?
Our brand is deeply rooted in the timeless traditions and prophetic practices (Sunnah) of personal hygiene, cleanliness, and self-respect (Fitrah). In heritage and tradition, caring for one’s appearance and utilising wholesome, blessed botanical elements—such as the olive tree—are viewed as mindful acts of well-being. The Sunnah Edit bridges these sacred, time-honoured principles with modern, minimalist self-care, creating a clean routine that honours both your body and traditional values.
What makes our products aligned with pure and ethical values?
True to the spirit of the Sunnah, we prioritise absolute purity and transparency. Our formulas are completely waterless, alcohol-free, and free from harsh synthetic fillers or animal testing. Every component is selected to respect and protect your skin barrier, offering clean, high-performance care designed for everyone.
About the Formula & Ingredients
What are the key ingredients in the formula?
Rooted in simplicity and efficacy, our formulation is crafted with just five premium components:
- 98% Pure Olive Squalane: the featherlight, biocompatible hero ingredient.
- Olive Oil: for rich, traditional botanical nourishment.
- Alpha-Bisabolol: a natural, soothing active compound that calms the skin.
- Vitamin E: a potent antioxidant to protect and preserve freshness.
- Fragrance: expertly balanced for a sophisticated sensory profile.
What is olive squalane, and how is it different from normal olive oil?
While standard culinary olive oil is heavy and can clog pores, olive squalane is a refined, highly stable lipid. It mimics your skin’s natural oils, resulting in a weightless, fast-absorbing, non-greasy treatment that instantly quenches your skin without heaviness.
What is alpha-bisabolol and what does it do?
Alpha-bisabolol is a natural extract (derived from sources like chamomile) renowned for its powerful calming properties. It actively reduces redness, soothes irritation, and ensures the formula is exceptionally gentle for delicate skin.
What fragrances are used in the collection?
Our signature collections—including Nur, Haybah, and Bashasha—feature a refined, skin-safe 0.90% fragrance concentration. They offer a sophisticated, grounding sensory experience with warm notes like amber and vanilla, carefully balanced to provide an elegant scent that complements your daily routine without overpowering it.
Does the formula contain any water, alcohol, or synthetic fillers?
No. It is a completely waterless, highly concentrated botanical treatment. Every drop is designed to nourish and protect your skin barrier without unnecessary dilution, harsh chemicals, or synthetic additives.
Skin & Body Care
Is it safe for sensitive skin?
Yes. Because it is biocompatible with your skin and free from common irritants, alcohols, and synthetic fillers, it is exceptionally gentle and soothing for sensitive skin types.
Is it safe for eczema?
Yes. By mimicking your natural lipid barrier, our oil helps lock in essential moisture and repair dry, compromised skin—offering deep relief for flaky or irritated patches typical of eczema.
How is this different from a traditional moisturiser?
Traditional commercial moisturisers are water-based emulsions that require synthetic thickeners and preservatives. The Sunnah Edit is a pure, waterless lipid treatment that delivers concentrated, active nourishment directly where your skin needs it most.
Can I use it on my face?
Yes, absolutely. Because it is entirely non-comedogenic (won’t clog pores) and mirrors natural sebum, it helps balance your skin’s oil production while delivering weightless hydration for a healthy, natural glow.
Is it good for dark spots?
While it is not a chemical bleaching agent, olive squalane and vitamin E are packed with antioxidants. Together, they protect against environmental stressors, support cellular repair, and promote a clear, radiant complexion over time.
Hair & Grooming
Is it good for hair and beards?
Extensively versatile. For men, it makes an elite beard oil that softens coarse facial hair, tames flyaways, and soothes the skin underneath without a greasy residue. For women, it can be smoothed over dry hair ends to add a sleek, healthy shine and control frizz.
Usage, Application & Longevity
How should I use it?
Dispense 3 to 5 drops into the palm of your hands, rub them together to warm the oil, and gently press or massage it into wet skin or hair—such as right after performing wudu or stepping out of the shower. Applying it to damp or wet skin locks in maximum hydration.
How often should I apply it?
You can use it daily, both morning and night. Because it absorbs instantly into the skin and hair, a little goes a long way, making it a seamless addition to any minimalist or comprehensive self-care ritual.
How long does a bottle last?
Each 50ml bottle contains around 200 pumps. With typical daily use of 3 to 5 drops (approx. 2 to 4 pumps), a single bottle will comfortably last between 2 to 3 months, making it an economical and sustainable addition to your daily grooming and self-care routine.
Are your ingredients ethically sourced?
Yes, absolutely. True to our commitment to purity and ethical responsibility, our core ingredients—premium olive oil and olive squalane—are ethically sourced from the heritage groves of Andalusia, Spain. We partner with responsible growers who prioritise sustainable farming practices, fair labour standards, and environmental care, ensuring that every drop respects both the earth and our traditional values of mindfulness and integrity.
