The oil mirrors “the essence of desert heritage and longevity in beauty, blending ancient wisdom with modern skincare innovation for a perfect balance,” Alanazi added.
He stated that the company collaborates with 159 local farmers.

He also mentioned that 90% of APTC’s employees are locals and 70% of them are women.
