How We Started

Our Story

In 2017, husband and wife team Ibrahim Ali and Iqra Isphahani founded the brand 786 ​Cosmetics. Born from the need for quality halal or water permeable products, they ​decided to start a cosmetics line focused on finding the right formula that upheld Islamic ​requirements without sacrificing quality. Setting out to develop an inclusive brand that served an undervalued market, ​highlighting diverse cultures through their unique naming system, they bottled Muslim ​and non-Muslim cities into nail polish. Now sold in 20+ countries and reaching ​customers worldwide, 786 has grown to become a globally recognized brand.
