Golden Dust

Golden Dust is a personal care product found on the shelf at Dekenet Al Nes in Baaqline, in the Chouf, Lebanon. It is sold loose by the kilogram, so you can take exactly the amount you need rather than buying a fixed pack. For details on what it is and how it is used, the team at the shop can tell you more when you visit. Dekenet Al Nes is a package-free grocery store and a solidarity initiative started by a group of Lebanese young people in response to the economic crisis that began in 2019. Its aim is to keep basic necessities affordable while reducing environmental costs. Customers are encouraged to bring their own containers and refill essential products, which helps cut plastic waste and single-use packaging.
