Brand overview
Aram Laboratory is a luxury organic skincare brand founded by Formula Botanica graduate Aram Farawar. The brand is dedicated to addressing the most common skin concerns experienced by women aged 30-35 and beyond, including sensitivity, acne-prone skin, thin skin, redness, dullness, pigmentation, dryness, and fine lines.
Aram Laboratory formulates high-performance self-care products that harness the power of natural ingredients enhanced with advanced skincare technology. Each product is carefully crafted to support healthy, rejuvenated skin and to help individuals feel confident and empowered in their own skin.
Aram Laboratory is passionate not only about skincare, but also about the well-being of the planet and animals. The brand is committed to using high-quality, sustainably sourced natural and organic ingredients, with eco-conscious packaging designed to minimise environmental impact. All products are proudly 100% cruelty-free and vegan-friendly, and the brand actively supports initiatives that promote animal welfare.
Aram’s journey into skincare formulation began when friends and colleagues approached her with concerns about hyperpigmentation, acne, dryness, wrinkles, and puffy eyes, often disappointed with the results from commercial skincare products. Inspired by their stories, and driven by a desire to help her mother, who struggled with dry skin and pigmentation, and her own teenage experiences with pigmentation, Aram delved deeply into cosmetic formulation.
Through extensive research and development, she created products that deliver real, visible results for mature women. The positive feedback and success stories from her customers continue to inspire the brand’s mission.
Aram credits Formula Botanica for playing a pivotal role in helping her start her brand. “Although I am a chemist and scientist with many years of experience in pharmaceutical laboratories and universities, it was through Formula Botanica’s Entrepreneur Program that I truly learned to become a confident cosmetic formulator. The course gave me the skills to launch my own line of six anti-ageing facial products, each targeting common skin concerns such as acne, sensitivity, hyperpigmentation, dryness, redness, thin skin and fine lines. Without Formula Botanica, this would not have been possible, as formulating cosmetics requires a very different skillset. I am truly grateful to the school for this opportunity.”
