A lifetime believer in the potential of shared beauty rituals to delight and empower, Kahina Giving Beauty Founder Katharine L’Heureux discovered argan oil on the first of many journeys to Morocco. Today, Katharine has built a holistic regimen around this multipurpose ingredient that enhances the lives of both the artisan and end-user. Katharine continues to visit the cooperatives from which Kahina’s argan oil is sourced to ensure the fair and proper treatment of the Berber women who extract it—women whose signatures grace each package in the Kahina Giving Beauty line.

Katharine divides her time between homes in New York City and Upstate New York with her husband, three children, and her beagle mix, Kira.
