Sahar Mansoor

Sahar Mansoor, the woman behind Bare Necessities, took an ‘accidental entrepreneurial’ leap that reshaped her life and the future of eco-friendly skincare. From humble beginnings in a garage to creating a zero-waste brand, she has saved over 68 million units of plastic and diverted 155,000 kg of waste, all while empowering women in sustainable jobs.

“The thing is that we are so caught up in a web of convenience that we don’t think about our personal trash. The only time we think about it is when we see or smell it stinking up our neighbourhood. The truth is that our trash problem is much worse than that—for our environment and our health.”
