Moroccan women continue to shine and stand out in various fields, including by leading large companies and start-ups with finesse and skill, which has earned “Forbes”, the renowned celebrity ranking magazine, to choose several of them in different lists among the most remarkable in the world.
The latest Forbes report focused on the most famous female entrepreneurs, founders of companies specializing in beauty products and brands, and included the names of two young Moroccan women.
In this regard, the “Forbes Middle East” list of the ten most famous women who founded beauty brands in the Middle East includes two names from Morocco, Hind Sbati and Monia Al Abbasi.
“Forbes” explained that this exceptional group of female entrepreneurs are among the largest beauty companies in the region, based on the size of their brands and their success in 2024, among which were two brands founded by young Moroccan women.
Moroccan Hind Sbati ranked second on the list, being the founder of the cosmetics and skincare brand (whind) in 2021, headquartered in the United Kingdom. The market value of her company exceeded $542.5 million on June 11, 2024, and it recorded a net turnover of $68.3 million in the first quarter of the same year.
She is followed by Monia Al Abbasi, also Moroccan, who launched her brand (Izil Beauty) in 2012, inspired by the Moroccan heritage in the field of beauty that she inherited from her mother. The name “Izil” is derived from Amazigh, meaning “purity”. This brand, produced in the United Arab Emirates, offers natural skin care products inspired by ancient Moroccan recipes.
