Sidr leaf powder, milled from the leaves of Ziziphus, is a traditional botanical wash ingredient with steady demand across the Gulf. Cosmetic and personal-care formulators buy it for cleansing and hair-care products, and halal-positioned brands are a significant part of the market. This guide covers how buyers specify sidr and why the Gulf drives the trade.
What is sidr and how is it used?
Sidr is the common name for Ziziphus, and the leaf is dried and milled into a fine green powder. Cosmetic formulators use it as a traditional botanical wash ingredient in cleansing and hair-care products. We describe sidr as a cosmetic ingredient and specify it by botanical name, form and fineness; we do not make medical claims about it.
Why the Gulf drives sidr demand
Sidr has long-standing cultural and cosmetic use across the Gulf, which supports consistent demand from the UAE, Saudi Arabia and neighbouring markets. Halal-positioned personal-care brands are a notable buyer group, so a halal declaration is often part of the conversation. A.R.T International can provide Halal documentation depending on the product.
