Hind Sebti, founder of evocatively potent vegan and cruelty-free skincare brand, Whind, has always thought outside the box. Born and raised in Meknes, Morocco, Hind shares that her, \u201cupbringing taught me to see and seek beauty<\/a> in everything \u2013 from everyday life objects expertly craftily by artisans, to silky caftans handmade for special occasions to of course our beauty rituals. I learned that beauty is not only how you look but also how you feel\u201d. She carried that artistic outlook on life into her career, where she spent 20 years working for Procter & Gamble and L\u2019Oreal.<\/p>\n

Skincare is Hind\u2019s foundation<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a world focused on lipsticks, mascaras, and face powders, Hind\u2019s motto is \u201cskin first\u201d. Skincare<\/a> has always her priority as she explains “skincare is about much more than just the skin, but also self-care”. However, Hind has always struggled to find what she was looking for, ones that were science based but were a joy to use. Hind laments, “I didn\u2019t necessarily enjoy using products everyday because of texture or scent. As I scouted relentlessly (both personally and professionally) in the latest skin care launches, I increasingly felt left out as everything felt a bit too cold, all about the performance at the expense of the experience. All head and no heart\u201d.<\/p>\n

Hind shares that \u201cexperience is critical not only for the indulgence part but even more importantly for the performance of the products \u2013 because it is a known fact that the number one driver of skin care performance is compliance\u201d. This makes sense as we all know our products won\u2019t work if we don\u2019t use them regularly. If we don’t particularly enjoy using them, why would we go through the effort in the first place? Frustrated by not being able to find what she desired; Hind ultimately took matters in her own hands. She combined her practical knowledge from her career, such as the best labs to work with and the best skincare formulations, with the sensorial inspiration of the scents and textures of her Moroccan roots, and Whind was born.<\/p>\n

Warm Science<\/strong><\/p>\n

Remember earlier how we mentioned that Hind is a lateral thinker? Well, this trailblazer pioneered (and trademarked) her own formulation technique, Warm Science. Hind explains the inspiration behind Warm Science sprouted from a deep desire within her to \u201cshare the warmth of Morroco, our beauty point of view and culture to the world and represent us on a global audience\u201d. Today\u2019s woman wants more performance-based skincare but with the same sensorial experience and rituals akin to Hind’s memories of her grandmother’s Moroccan beauty rituals.<\/p>\n

Hind tells us that \u201cWarm Science starts with science first and dressed in a warm experience.” Thinking backwards, Hind focused on the improvements women want with their skin. She began creating formulas with her chemist to deliver the results. After each formula was crafted, she sought to encapsulate it with textures<\/a> and scents inspired by Morocco and the beauty rituals she enjoyed since youth.<\/p>\n

Full light<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hind reflects on her Moroccan heritage and how being called \u201cfull light\u201d is \u201cone of the highest compliments in Morocco playing back that you and your skin look luminous<\/a>.\u201d The products are inspired by the elements of Morocco, including the best-selling Marrakech Light Illuminating Magic Oil. Hind strove to \u201cto bottle up that magnificent Marrakech light at sunrise that basks the skin in the most flattering warm glow.\u201d<\/p>\n

Whind\u2019s new Oasis Fresh Dissolving Jelly Cleanser, inspired by the feeling of a refreshing splash of orange blossom water after a long day in the desert, is a pH-balanced, rich jelly cleanser. When combined with water, it emulsifies to help lift makeup, skincare, sunblock<\/a>, and all other impurities off the skin. This non-stripping cleanser contains ultra-moisturising glycerin, brightening vitamin C, and skin barrier protecting niacinamide.<\/p>\n

A new take on clay<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hind recalls that as a child she was told when using clay masks, the number one rule was to never let it dry on the skin. She remembers being told that when the mask dries, it leads to moisture being drawn out of the skin. Hind wanted to create a clay mask for Whind that contained the purifying properties of the clays but didn\u2019t cause skin to lose its moisture<\/a>. Whind\u2019s Atlas Pure Purifying Mask is made with a creamy whipped formula that \u201cwas specifically designed to purify whilst keeping skin hydrated thanks to its combination of high performing detoxifying actives, namely green clay, kaolin clay, and salicylic acid that exfoliate and purify. These ingredients are balanced with glycerin and soothing allantoin to leave skin feeling clean, clearer, and detoxified while remaining nourished and soft.\u201d<\/p>\n

With a nod to her Warm Science technique, Hind mentions that the Atlas Pure Purifying Mask\u2019s \u201csensorial inspiration came from the Atlas Mountains. Nothing says fresh, pure, rosy glow like a hike early in the morning in the gorgeous Atlas Mountain, looking at the sunrise with a comforting glass of mint tea. So, I decided to infuse the creamy formula with a delicately refreshing<\/a> and reviving mint water and verbena for an extra boost of freshness.\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked for a tip or two when applying the Atlas Pure Purifying Mask, Hind says to massage the mask onto clean skin once or twice a week over the face and neck. You can also use the mask as a detoxifying spot treatment<\/a> and apply it to any areas that are appearing a bit oilier or with emerging breakouts.<\/p>\n
