Cairo – Mai Abdo:
In a world crowded with look-alike beauty products and promises of instant results, a young Egyptian woman chose a different path — one that leads back to the roots… back to the seed, to the soil, to the quiet miracle of nature that carries within it the secrets of healing and beauty.Agricultural engineer Manal Ramadan, 26, a graduate of the Faculty of Agriculture, Ain Shams University (Horticulture Department), never viewed plants as mere academic material to pass exams.
To her, they were living creations filled with divine wisdom. Inside lecture halls, while studying medicinal and aromatic plants, her heart became deeply attached to the idea of extracting oils and discovering the treasures nature hides within every tiny seed.Her curiosity was not fleeting — it was the beginning of a journey.
From Scientific Curiosity to a Dream Bearing Her Family NameWhile studying medicinal plants and seed science, Manal realized that every oil tells a story — and that the extraction method can mean the difference between an ordinary product and a true treasure.
She researched, experimented, and immersed herself in the art of cold pressing to preserve the oil’s full natural value, exactly as it was created.
From there, the brand “Tamim” was born — a name that carries her family identity and reflects her confidence in placing her reputation behind a product she wholeheartedly believes in.
“Tamim” is not merely a business venture; it is an extension of a dream, a tribute to nature, and a belief that true beauty begins with purity.
Oils with the Spirit of Nature… and Quality Driven by PassionTamim’s products are based on pure, raw, cold-pressed, fresh natural oils — free from additives that could compromise their essence.The product line includes:
Jojoba Oil
Grapeseed Oil
Saad Oil
Coconut Oil
Each oil
has its own story and unique purpose.
Jojoba oil, known for its lightweight texture and smooth absorption, has become a daily serum favorite for many women, offering balanced hydration for both hair and skin with an effect comparable to hyaluronic acid.Saad oil is among the most in-demand products, as many women turn to it as a natural alternative to more costly procedures.
Manal does not simply sell oils — she educates, guides, and advises. She firmly believes that while natural oils are powerful, proper usage is essential. Overuse or mismatched application can lead to undesirable results.
That is why she prioritizes providing clear guidance to her clients, ensuring that satisfaction comes not only from visible results, but from genuine confidence and trust.
Affordable Pricing with a Human TouchManal has made it a priority to keep her products accessible. Prices start at 100 EGP for certain oils, while specialized blends reach approximately 230 EGP — striking a careful balance between premium quality and affordability.
Ambition Fueled by Gratitude
Although the brand is still growing, Manal’s ambition knows no limits. She dreams of expanding her range, introducing new oils, and growing Tamim into a recognized name in the natural beauty industry.
For her, the true reward is not financial gain, but the heartfelt messages from customers who regained confidence in their hair or skin. Those moments, she says, are her greatest motivation to continue.
Manal Ramadan’s journey is more than the story of a startup — it is a testament to faith in knowledge, trust in oneself, and deep respect for nature.
Through “Tamim,” academic expertise blends with heartfelt passion, creating products that carry something beyond oil — they carry the spirit of a young woman who chose to begin with a seed and cultivate her name in the world of natural beauty with dedication and love.
