Gulmahal Beauty Brand Profile
Gulmahal Beauty, inspired by the resplendent Mughal palaces, is a Pakistani luxury beauty brand that seamlessly marries traditional South Asian aesthetics with contemporary elegance. Our name, “Gulmahal,” which translates to “Flower Palace” in Urdu, encapsulates our brand ethos of blooming beauty and opulence.
1. Product Philosophy
We are dedicated to crafting high - end beauty products that celebrate the natural beauty of South Asian women. Each product in our line is a testament to our commitment to quality, efficacy, and cultural heritage. Our range includes sumptuous lipsticks, vibrant eyeshadows, and luxurious skincare items, all formulated with a blend of indigenous ingredients and modern scientific advancements.
For instance, our “Rose - Infused Lipstick Collection” features shades inspired by the diverse roses of the Shalimar Gardens. Infused with real rose extracts, these lipsticks not only offer a rich, long - lasting color payoff but also nourish the lips, a nod to the age - old practice of using rose in South Asian beauty rituals.
2. Market Positioning
Targeting the discerning consumer, especially women aged 25 - 45, Gulmahal Beauty positions itself as a symbol of luxury and sophistication in the Pakistani beauty market. We aim to break the international beauty brand monopoly by offering products that are not only of international - quality but also deeply rooted in local culture. Our products are priced in the mid - to - high range (500 - 2000 PKR), making luxury accessible to a wider audience in Pakistan.
About Us
1. Brand Story
Gulmahal Beauty was founded in 2020 by Aisha Khan, a passionate beauty entrepreneur with a background in fashion and design. Aisha was inspired by the grandeur of the Mughal era and the untapped potential of Pakistani beauty. She noticed a gap in the market for a brand that could offer high - quality, culturally - relevant beauty products.
Starting from a small studio in Lahore, Aisha began formulating products in her kitchen, drawing inspiration from family beauty recipes passed down through generations. With a vision to “Bring Mughal - era Glamour to Modern Pakistan,” Gulmahal Beauty gradually gained traction through word - of - mouth and social media, and has now grown into a leading name in the local beauty industry.
2. Core Values
Cultural Reverence: We draw inspiration from South Asian art, architecture, and traditional beauty practices. Our packaging often features intricate Mughal - style patterns, and our product names are inspired by historical landmarks and cultural icons.
Innovation in Tradition: We combine traditional ingredients like saffron, turmeric, and rose with the latest cosmetic technologies. For example, our “Saffron - Powered Anti - Aging Serum” uses nanotechnology to deliver saffron’s powerful antioxidants deep into the skin.
Empowerment through Beauty: We believe that beauty is not just about appearance but also about confidence. Through our products, we aim to empower women to embrace their unique beauty and express themselves.
3. Innovation and Impact
Custom - Blend Skincare: We offer a personalized skincare service where customers can get their own custom - blended serums based on their skin type, concerns, and preferences. Using a digital skin analysis tool, we recommend the perfect blend of ingredients, from hydrating hyaluronic acid to brightening vitamin C.
Sustainable Packaging: We are committed to reducing our environmental footprint. By 2024, all our packaging will be made from recycled and biodegradable materials. We also have an ongoing “Empty Container Recycling Program” where customers can exchange their used Gulmahal Beauty products for discounts on new purchases.
Community Engagement: For every 100 products sold, we sponsor a beauty training session for underprivileged women in rural areas. By 2025, we aim to train over 10,000 women, equipping them with the skills to start their own beauty - related businesses.
