What is Eid?

A time for prayer, reflection, and charity. Eid is a Muslim holiday comprised of two celebrations, Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha.

Why are there two Eids?

Eid al-Fitr marks the end of the fast of Ramadan and is followed by the “bigger” Eid, Eid al-Adha, a celebration centered around communal prayer, charity and gift-giving. The two Eids are the only two holidays celebrated by the entire Muslim community. Determined by the Islamic calendar, a lunar calendar, both holidays fall on distinct days every year.

What is Eid al-Fitr?

Eid al-Fitr is a one-day celebration on the first day of Shawwal—the 10th month of the Islamic calendar. Arabic for “Festival of breaking fast”, the smaller of the two Eids marks the end of Ramadan, the Muslim holy month of fasting. During Ramadan, eligible Muslims restrain from eating and drinking from dawn to sunset. This temporary deprivation is intended to provide perspective, foster gratitude and remind Muslims of their religious duties to those less fortunate. Fasting is a pillar of Islam and a time of introspection and prayer. After a month of strict devotion and self-control, Eid al-Fitr celebrates the breaking of the fast. During this time friends and family gather to pray, exchange gifts, give to charity and celebrate with special meals.

What is Eid al-Adha?

Arabic for “Feast of sacrifice”, Eid al-Adha is a three-day celebration two months after Eid al-Fitr. This important holiday represents the Prophet Ibrahim’s willingness to sacrifice his son by order of Allah. In the end, stopped by God himself, the Prophet Ibrahim was given a ram to sacrifice in place of his son. One of Islam’s most important holidays, Eid al-Adha lasts three days and begins on the 10th day of the Islamic month of Dhul-Hijja—the holy month of pilgrimage.

Eid Mubarak

Eid is a time of celebration and exchanging gifts or sharing sweets and other delectable treats is a part of many family traditions.

To celebrate Eid al-Fitr with our Muslim community, we created Eid-exclusive gifts to help honor the holiday. All products were created in collaboration with our Eid focus group. We would like to extend a special thank you to all our collaborators for their insight and guidance.

Sweetly soothe your skin

Dates hold particular importance in Islamic cultures as they were a recommended food by the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).

Soothing and sweet, Sticky Dates Co-mingle offers the three-in-one beauty of our beloved Co-Mingle infused with moisture-retaining organic date syrup.

A great addition to shower routines during or after Ramadan as its hydrating powers are fantastic for after fasting when the skin needs a little extra hydration.

Celebrate with Eid exclusive gifts.

The warmth of self-care

Turmeric Fresh Face Mask is an exclusive gift infused with fresh ginger root and skin softening glycerin to brightly nourish skin and encourage you to pause and pamper yourself.

Wrap yourself in candy skies

If you were to look up from two different corners of the world during a starry Eid evening, you would see different skies holding the same moon. Candy Sky Knot-wrap, designed by Ayang Cempaka, is inspired by two views of the same new moon, one from the mountain view of Jebel Jais in the UAE and one from the village greenery of Indonesia. Soft to the touch and made from recycled plastic bottles, it’s large enough to be worn as a head scarf and can be folded into various shapes and styles.

Best of both worlds

A gift for cleansing and nourishing! Give that special someone the best of both worlds with Crescent Moon Gift, wrapped in a golden moon adorned wrapping paper made from 100 percent recycled materials.
