Soraya Jouzy’s passion for clean beauty and appreciation for nature stems from her mother, a keen botanist, and her early exposure to natural remedies. Her appreciation for wellbeing was further fueled by the long hours she spent working at the Gordon Ramsay group and Four Seasons Hotels & Resorts, where she put into practice her knowledge of essential oils to help reduce stress, improve sleep and boost energy. Determined to share her passion with the Middle East, Jouzy resigned from her job and founded Pearl Tree distribution.
