The popular narrative about women's lives in Iran over the last forty years goes something like this:

"During the Pahlavi Monarchy, women were on an upward trajectory. In a nation on the cusp of modernity, women actively participated. They were given the right to vote and free to be in public without veils. They wore miniskirts on university campuses. Then came the Islamic Revolution in 1979, with Ayatollah Khomeini at the helm. The burgeoning freedoms for women were extinguished. The veil was required and institutions were segregated by gender. The Islamic Republic had thus achieved its goal of resurrecting the image of the traditional Muslim woman."

The problem with popular narratives is that, despite their convenient half-truths, the real story is more complicated, unexpected, and less tidy.

Inspired by author Nina Ansary's scholarly journey, Jewels of Allah is a provocative roller coaster ride that shatters the stereotypical assumptions and the often misunderstood story of women in Iran today. Highlighting many courageous female leaders and advocates throughout Iran's history, the book illuminates the unanticipated consequences of the Islamic Revolution and the unexpected twists and turns leading to a full-blown feminist movement within a post-revolutionary patriarchal society.

Jewels of Allah is dedicated to every individual oppressed by discriminatory ideology. 100% of all proceeds from the sale of the book will go to charitable organizations and institutions, with the primary recipient being the OMID Foundation, a 501(c)(3) registered organization that has been empowering disadvantaged young women in Iran for over 10 years.

Game changer for clearer skin
Size: 1 Fl Oz
I’ve been using this consistently and it has really helped improve my skin texture and keep pores clearer over time. The formula feels lightweight like a liquid toner and absorbs quickly without leaving any sticky residue. The quality feels very high and well formulated, especially with the salicylic acid working deep in the pores to help with congestion and breakouts. It also feels gentle when used correctly, and I haven’t experienced irritation. In terms of value for money, a little goes a long way so the bottle lasts a long time even with regular use, which makes it worth the price. The fit into my routine is easy since it layers well with other skincare products, and the overall appearance of my skin looks smoother and more even with continued use. Overall, great quality, effective ingredients, good value for money, and a staple in my skincare routine.

Noticeable improvement in skin tone and texture after consistent use. Love this product!
Size: 4 Fl Oz
I have been using this product for almost two months now. It is easy to apply, feels nice, I but was unsure about adding it to my long term skin routine. Now, after two months, the noticeable changes and clearing in my blemishes, sun spots and pores has convinced me it will be on the regular, long term routine. I use it twice a day and have no problems with dryness at all. And to be honest, I don't think it took that long for the changes to appear but they were subtle and I just started noticing my make up went on better and my skin had a "glow" it didn't have before. I noticed some reviews commenting on the price but I find it to be extremely reasonably priced for the size and even after two months, I have plenty left to last another two months.

Good, but cheap and messy dispersal of product
Size: 4 Fl Oz
This stuff works great. However, the packaging is not. It is messy and you lose product whenever you dispense it. For the price, I don’t want to waste a drop, but product ends up around the top and it makes this messy. Will I continue to purchase? Yes. But only because I have tried other BHAs and they seem a bit harsher on my very delicate skin. I am in the process of trying other brands that have better packaging and once I do, I will not replace. Already, I have found a budget vitamin C that has the same percentage of actives as PC- and a much, much better dispenser. PC sold out a while ago and the brand has just not been impressing me lately. Still, this BHA works well, is non irritating on my fair, delicate, over 50 skin. I just wish the bottle had a stopper that helped it dispense the product in a more controlled manner.

Happy with this moisturizer!
Size: 3.38 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: 3.38 Fl Oz (Non SPF)
I've been very happy with this moisturizer. It goes on smoothly, absorbs quickly, and leaves my skin feeling soft and hydrated without feeling greasy. I have sensitive skin and haven't had any irritation. It works well under makeup and keeps my face moisturized throughout the day. A little goes a long way, and the bottle lasts a good amount of time. I would definitely purchase this again and recommend it to anyone looking for a gentle daily moisturizer. Fragrance free and a great value for money.

From dry to soft in days.
Size: 3.38 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: 3.38 Fl Oz (Non SPF)
I bought this moisturizer at a time when my skin truly needed help, with mature and sensitive skin, and I was dealing with intense dryness. My skin felt tight, dull, and uncomfortable, even after trying several products that didn’t provide lasting hydration. I decided to try this cream and within the first few days, I noticed a real difference. It’s lightweight, absorbs quickly, doesn’t feel greasy, and most importantly, it doesn’t irritate my skin—instead, it soothes it. With continued use, my skin became softer, more supple, and visibly healthier, without that constant tight feeling. I love that it’s fragrance-free, oil-free, and non-comedogenic, as it hasn’t caused any breakouts. It also contains ceramides and niacinamide, and the added SPF makes my routine much easier. After trying many products, I can honestly say this is the only one that truly worked for me. It’s now a daily essential.
