His journey is a testament to passion, ambition, creativity, and an unwavering pursuit of excellence. Despite his achievements, Khan believes this is just the beginning, with many more milestones yet to come.
From Humble Beginnings to a World-Class Skincare Brand
After completing his education in Boston and London, Khan initially pursued a career in corporate and investment banking. During this time, he worked closely with leading financial, trade, and government organizations, gaining valuable experience. However, his entrepreneurial spirit led him to venture into the luxury skincare industry.
Khan launched Vita Eternity and Bio Lab Exotique, two premium skincare brands, in the UAE. Recognizing the country as an ideal market due to its high purchasing power and continuous growth, he positioned his products to cater to a clientele that values quality and exclusivity. Currently available exclusively in the UAE, his signature Elixir Formula, a rose oil-based serum, offers anti-aging benefits and hydration, enriched with minerals and vitamins sourced from Spain, Morocco, and Malaysia. The product, often referred to as “magic drops,” is designed for all skin types. Looking ahead, Khan plans to expand his skincare brand across the GCC, with aspirations to enter the European and American markets within the next five years.
