“Aya’ is the bridge between the past and the future and a kind of an oil-press for natural cosmetics”, says Jamal Hamoud of Beit Jan, the owner of the ‘Aya Natural’ natural cosmetics company. “Traditional and academic knowledge intertwined”.
Jamal served in the medical corps for 25 years. In 2004 he teamed-up with a childhood friend from his village and together they founded the company. In 2009 their ways parted.
In the air-conditioned visitors center of ‘Aya Natural’ guests are welcome to sit, drink sweet-smelling tea brewed of freshly picked herbs and enjoy a display of the company’s products available for testing and purchasing. In addition, visitors can listen to a review of Aya’s ‘credo’ and watch an instructive film. Jamal: “We have a designated beauty product for each part of the body, from olive oil soap to derma-cosmetic products”.
