Marrok's Founder

Hi,

I'm Nicole.

I am not a skincare or beauty expert, but rather someone driven by a quest for the truly natural and straightforward in skincare, especially body scrubs. I sought simplicity, authenticity, and kindness – products grounded in nature and free from unnecessary chemicals.

My journey through the aisles of "natural" products often ended in frustration.

I found the modern market's standard body scrubs were either laden with artificial additives, messy to use, ineffective, or produced by large companies indifferent to the ethics of animal testing.

That all changed when I visited Morocco, a country I felt inexplicably connected to. Marrakech wasn’t just a city to me; it felt like a place I belonged, warmly embraced by its culture, its wonderfully engaging people, and the charm of its streets.

My discovery happened in the souqs, where I first came across Black Soap and pure Argan Oil, simple yet profoundly effective. But it was the traditional hammam that truly opened my eyes. The process – using Black Soap, followed by an exfoliating Kessa Mitt, and finishing with luxurious Argan Oil – left my skin feeling cleaner, smoother and softer than I had experienced before.

Bringing these products back to my life in Australia, I wanted to recreate a little of the hammam experience in my own routine. It was in the shower, surrounded by steam and lathered in Black Soap, that Marrok was born – a way to share this age-old Moroccan tradition with others.

So here we are!

I invite you to experience your own hammam at home, embracing not just a routine but a journey into the heart of Moroccan tradition and a wondrous, ancient culture.

Thank you – Shukran - for joining us at Marrok.

Nicole
