Plgrm’s New Bottle Design: Built for the Modern Umrah Journey
Performing Umrah is a deeply spiritual experience, but it is also a journey that can be physically demanding. From travelling long distances to spending time outdoors in the Saudi Arabian sun and walking between the sacred sites, pilgrims need products that are practical, reliable and easy to carry.
That is why we have redesigned the Plgrm SPF 50 bottle.
The new Plgrm bottle is more than a change in appearance. Every feature has been designed with the needs of Hajj and Umrah pilgrims in mind — from its lightweight construction and protective cap to its convenient 50ml size and recyclable plastic.
A Lightweight Bottle Made for Travel
One of the biggest changes is the new lightweight bottle design.
When travelling for Umrah, every item in your luggage needs to earn its place. Pilgrims may already be carrying Ihram clothing, toiletries, medication, documents and other essentials, so a bulky or unnecessarily heavy sunscreen bottle is far from ideal.
The new Plgrm bottle is sleek, lightweight and designed to be easy to take with you wherever you go.
Whether it is packed into your suitcase, placed in a hand luggage bag or carried around Makkah and Madinah, the new design makes sunscreen easier to keep close at hand.
A Protective Cap for a Cleaner, More Secure Product
The new protective cap helps keep the formula clean and secure when travelling.
This is particularly important during Umrah, where sunscreen may be carried through airports, hotels, buses and busy pilgrimage environments. A secure cap helps protect the dispensing area from unnecessary contact with the outside environment and helps prevent the product from accidentally opening inside your luggage.
It is a small feature, but when travelling thousands of miles for a religious journey, the small details matter.
A Convenient 50ml Size
The new Plgrm bottle remains a convenient 50ml size, making it particularly suited to travel.
For Umrah pilgrims, portability is important. Sunscreen should not be something you apply once before leaving your hotel and then forget about. Prolonged exposure to the Saudi sun means having sunscreen readily available can make it much easier to maintain your skincare routine throughout the day.
A compact 50ml bottle gives pilgrims a practical balance between having enough product for their journey while keeping the bottle small and travel-friendly.
Fragrance-Free for the Ihram Journey
Perhaps one of the most important features for Umrah pilgrims is that Plgrm is fragrance-free.
Once a pilgrim enters the state of Ihram, applying perfume or fragrance is among the prohibited acts. Official guidance on Umrah specifically lists applying fragrance to the body or clothing among the prohibitions of Ihram. (Al Haramain)
This is why fragrance-free skincare can be particularly useful for pilgrims.
Plgrm has been designed without added fragrance, giving pilgrims an option specifically developed around the practical skincare requirements of the Ihram journey. Islamic guidance also distinguishes between skincare products and perfume, with fragrance-free sunscreen and moisturisers generally regarded as permissible during Ihram. (موقع دار الإفتاء المصرية)
As with any religious matter, pilgrims should follow the guidance of the scholar or school of thought they personally follow.
Protection During Long Days in the Saudi Sun
Umrah can involve significant time outdoors, including walking between locations, travelling between sites and performing Tawaf and Sa’i.
The new Plgrm bottle contains SPF 50 broad-spectrum sunscreen, designed to provide protection against UVA and UVB radiation.
The convenient bottle design also makes it easier for pilgrims to keep sunscreen accessible rather than leaving it behind in their hotel room.
For a journey where comfort and wellbeing can make a significant difference to the overall experience, sun protection should be an important part of a pilgrim’s daily routine.
Niacinamide and Hyaluronic Acid
The new bottle continues to contain a skincare-focused formula featuring niacinamide and hyaluronic acid.
Niacinamide is widely used in skincare for its skin-supporting properties, while hyaluronic acid is well known for helping the skin retain moisture.
This is particularly relevant when travelling in a hot, dry environment. Umrah pilgrims can experience prolonged exposure to heat, sun and dry conditions, making hydration and good skincare habits especially important.
Plgrm is therefore designed to be more than simply a sunscreen. It combines daily sun protection with ingredients selected to support hydrated, comfortable-looking skin.
No Drying Alcohols
Another important feature is the absence of drying alcohols.
This is particularly relevant for people who may already be dealing with skin exposed to heat, sun and dry air throughout their journey.
The aim is to create a sunscreen that feels suitable for everyday use, rather than something that feels heavy or unnecessarily harsh on the skin.
Recyclable Plastic
The new bottle is also made using recyclable plastic.
Umrah involves millions of journeys, and with travel comes packaging and waste. Choosing recyclable materials is one way of considering the environmental impact of the products we take with us.
For Plgrm, the goal is to combine functionality with a more thoughtful approach to packaging — creating something that works for the pilgrim while also being better considered for the planet.
A Premium Design With a Purpose
The new bottle has been designed around a simple idea: premium doesn’t have to mean complicated.
Its minimal appearance, sleek shape and clean design reflect the purpose of the product itself.
It is made for people who want effective daily sun protection without carrying a bulky skincare product around during their journey.
From the protective cap to the lightweight construction, every part of the new bottle has been considered around real-world use.
Designed Around the Umrah Experience
The new Plgrm bottle represents a bigger shift in how we think about skincare for pilgrims.
Umrah products need to work differently. They need to be practical enough for travel, convenient enough to carry throughout the day and considerate of the requirements of Ihram.
That is why the new Plgrm combines:
- SPF 50 broad-spectrum protection
- Fragrance-free formulation
- Niacinamide
- Hyaluronic acid
- No drying alcohols
- Lightweight, travel-friendly packaging
- Protective cap
- 50ml convenient size
- Recyclable plastic
- A minimal, premium design
The result is a sunscreen created with the modern pilgrim in mind.
Because when you travel for Umrah, the focus should be on your worship, your journey and the experience — not on worrying about whether your skincare is practical to carry.
Plgrm. Purpose-built skincare for the journey.
