The Medical Collaboration of Dr. Foams

Dr. Foams wasn't built in a boardroom it was born in the clinic. It is the result of a cross-border medical collaboration between two doctors who saw the same issue: the skincare industry was failing melanin-rich skin in extreme climates.

Meet the Founders

Dr. Sidra Habib, MD, FAAD Founder, Lead Clinical Formulator (California, USA) A Board-Certified Dermatologist based in California, Dr. Habib noticed her South Asian and Middle Eastern patients struggling with chronic barrier damage and melasma. The problem? Traditional sunscreens left a white cast, stung their eyes, or melted in humidity. She engineered the Dr. Foams formula to be a highly stabilized, 4-in-1 clinical matrix that hydrates, treats, and protects without the heavy, chalky residue.

Dr. Zara Islam, MBBS, MSc (Clinical Dermatology) Co-Founder, Head of Clinical R&D (Lahore, Pakistan) To guarantee the formula's efficacy against extreme heat and urban smog, Dr. Habib partnered with Dr. Zara Islam, an aesthetic physician in Lahore. For 12 months, Dr. Islam spearheaded rigorous on-the-ground clinical trials on patients with Fitzpatrick Skin Types III-VI. Her vital feedback ensured the 10% Niacinamide and Vitamin E blend could withstand the Pakistani climate without melting or clogging pores.

The Dr. Foams Standard

The result of this California-Pakistan collaboration is a groundbreaking medical-grade formula that replaces four clinical steps. Today, Dr. Foams operates as a true medical-first entity. While Dr. Habib innovates from California, Dr. Islam ensures every product meets the absolute highest standard for safety, efficacy, and aesthetic perfection for South Asian skin.
