Personal Care Products from Plants' data-article-id='5822'><script src='//news-app-staging.herokuapp.com/javascripts/getscripts.js'></script><link rel='stylesheet'

special plants to Europe. </span> <span data-start-time='7104' data-end-time='16833'>Those plants, or herbs, are turned into high-priced cosmetics and beauty products.</span> <span data-start-time='16833' data-end-time='24521'>Now, however, a group of Gaza women have brought that process home. </span> <span data-start-time='24521' data-end-time='38563'>They are processing the herbs themselves and creating personal care products such as shampoo for the hair and moisturizer for the skin. </span> <span data-start-time='38563' data-end-time='43938'>The products are now sold in 50 stores in the area.</span> <span data-start-time='43938' data-end-time='49313'>This project operates from a factory in Gaza City. </span> <span data-start-time='49313' data-end-time='53188'>All four employees are women. </span> <span data-start-time='53188' data-end-time='61375'>They use steam to draw out, or extract, oils from the herbs. </span> <span data-start-time='61375' data-end-time='69458'>The oils are the main ingredient used to make the beauty and personal care products. </span> <span data-start-time='69458' data-end-time='82104'>The herbs they use include ones you would use for cooking: rosemary, basil, mint, thyme, and chamomile. </span> <span data-start-time='82104' data-end-time='87229'>All the herbs come from farms run by women.</span> <span data-start-time='87229' data-end-time='101188'>When you hold the product, you feel like you are taking something from the earth - with no additives, Refqa Al-Hamalawi told Reuters news agency.</span> <span data-start-time='101188' data-end-time='110521'>The project currently makes 17 different products, including cleansers and body wash. </span> <span data-start-time='110521' data-end-time='114417'>They sell them under the name “GG.” </span> <span data-start-time='114417' data-end-time='117875'>The letters stand for “Green Gold.” </span> <span data-start-time='117875' data-end-time='124000'>That is what the farmers of northern Gaza call mint.</span> <span data-start-time='124000' data-end-time='135313'>As women, we (are) proud of the idea and the production, an idea like in European countries, Hamalawi said.</span> <span data-start-time='135313' data-end-time='141917'>The project is aimed at empowering women and helping the economy. </span> <span data-start-time='141917' data-end-time='152083'>It is supported financially by Australia and the global aid organization Oxfam.</span> <span data-start-time='152083' data-end-time='160583'>While the project is small, the women involved say it has already begun to make a difference in Gaza. </span> </p></div><div class='control-buttons-sticky' style='display:none;'><div
