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.
