The Founder's Story
From Quetta to FORMUL8
The Story of a Boy Who Refused to Wait
In the quiet mountains of Quetta, where the air is cold and the nights are even quieter, a 15-year-old boy was thinking about something most people his age weren’t.
He was thinking about skincare.
Not because it was a trend.
Not because someone told him to.
But simply because he was curious.
While most teenagers were busy with school, games, and everything that comes with being young, he was spending his nights reading about ingredients, studying formulations, exploring how brands were built, and asking questions that refused to leave his mind.
One question kept coming back:
Why is it so difficult to find skincare you can genuinely trust?
That question became an idea.
And that idea became a bigger question:
“If I’m serious about building something someday, why should I wait for someday?”
So he didn’t.
He started with what he had — a small room in Quetta, a mind full of questions, and an obsession with learning.
No big laboratory.
No massive team.
No perfect roadmap.
Just a belief that something meaningful could be built from anywhere — even from a small room in a city surrounded by mountains.
And that was the beginning of FORMUL8.
More Than a Skincare Brand
From the very beginning, FORMUL8 was never meant to be just another name on a bottle.
It was built around a simple philosophy:
Formulation first. Always.
We believe every ingredient should have a purpose. Every formula should be thoughtfully developed. And every product should earn its place on your shelf.
Because skincare shouldn’t be about making the loudest claim.
It should be about creating something that makes sense — something you can understand, use, and trust.
We’re not here to promise perfection.
We’re here to pursue better — relentlessly.
Better formulas.
Better products.
Better understanding.
Better skincare.
And most importantly:
A better relationship between people and the products they put on their skin.
We’re Just Getting Started
FORMUL8 is young.
We’re still learning.
Still experimenting.
Still improving.
And we’re not afraid to admit that.
Because we don’t believe a great brand is built by pretending it has all the answers.
It’s built by asking better questions.
By listening.
By learning from mistakes.
By improving one formula, one product, and one decision at a time.
Our ambition is simple, but enormous:
To build a skincare brand that Pakistan can be proud to call its own.
A brand born in Quetta.
A brand built for Pakistan.
And, one day, a brand known far beyond it.
Because the goal was never simply to sell skincare.
The goal was to create something people could believe in.
Something that started with curiosity…
and grew into a mission.
So, Who Is Behind FORMUL8?
His name is Samad Kayani.
Known to many as Talwar.
A boy from Quetta who decided that age should never be an excuse to postpone a dream.
He didn’t wait for the perfect time.
He started with what he had.
And FORMUL8 is only the first chapter.
Because this isn’t just about building one skincare brand.
It’s about building ideas.
Building businesses.
Building something that lasts.
FORMUL8 — a brand by Talwar.
A vision by Samad Kayani.
A beginning from Quetta.
And perhaps, the first chapter of something much bigger:
Talwar Group of Companies
FORMUL8
The Formula Your Skin Deserves.
This is only the beginning.
