Shop NowHELLO, I am the Mother of Khalm®, Yasmin.
When I was young, I used to hide from the world because I suffered from an overgrown hair condition known as Hypertrichosis. I turned to makeup for covering up in order to deal with my condition. Inadvertently I became a product junkie & a makeup guru for all my cousins. After having kids, my condition got better to near gone with the help of laser hair removal therapy. I started to focus on my skincare and wellness as a result.
BONJOUR, I found French Skincare.
In my 40s, I became a Francophile by finding French skincare and the country of France (I made my first trip to Paris at the age of 44). Because my skin was very sensitive with all the damage I had done by plucking, waxing, and threading, the low toxins found in European products worked perfectly for me. Then I had an idea…
SALAAM, I had an Awakening with Oud.
Why not create a product line with an ingredient from my homelands of India and Pakistan that had a French twist? I had been born with the smell of Oud all around me in Karachi and now found it in all the luxury perfumes & home scents I was purchasing in the United States. But why couldn’t I find it in my luxury french skincare aisle? A plan was hatched, I went to Paris again and I mothered or more incubated Khalm® from scientists. Today, I want to tell everyone about the healing, calming, and elevating properties of Oud through Khalm® and its revolutionary formulations. Let’s be Oudophiles together.
Meet Dr. Qamar Khan
Everyone has someone they are crazy about. Dr. Khan is the love of my life, he is my north star. Ours is an unusual love story that rivals all stories, but for a later time. He is my muse, guide, supporter in all things “Yasmin” and “Khalm®”. He is a greater Oud Devotee than myself, and that is saying something. He is a pioneer in regenerative medicine and he would hate that I said this about him, he is a very humble soul. Without him all things are not possible and without me he is not certain. We make a great forever team. Sometimes at the medical office people call him “Dr. Khalm®” because he is so calm. When Dr. Khan is not practicing medicine he is expanding his luxury perfume collection. His favorite Khalm® products are the Mattifying Moisturizer and the Salicylic Foaming Cleanser.
