T Bazi, a Persian-inspired skincare line founded by radio host Nina Hajian, is now being carried at Viktorya Wellness in Bellevue. The brand, which draws on Persian botanicals and modern skincare science, has also expanded into Cadell Laser Clinic and Pure Aesthetics, both located in Bellevue.
Hajian created T Bazi after experiencing a serious health issue while living in New York. She later learned she had a red dye allergy and began relying on Persian teas and spices—especially cardamom—as part of her recovery. That experience led her to study formulation, work with a lab, and develop a skincare line influenced by traditional Persian ingredients.
The name “T Bazi” translates to “tea party” in Farsi, reflecting the role of tea in Persian culture as a daily ritual of slowing down and connecting. The brand’s formulations center around three main ingredients: pomegranate, Persian rose, and cardamom, all of which have been used in Persian skincare for generations.
Hajian says she created T Bazi to fill a need she saw in the beauty market for intentional, research-backed products made with clean, effective ingredients. The brand’s best-known product is the Persian T Oil, which features antioxidant-rich botanicals aimed at supporting the skin barrier and calming irritation.
According to Hajian, customers often report improved hydration, fewer breakouts, and a healthier glow. She notes that many users say the ritual of using the products has helped them enjoy their skincare routines more.
Launching a new beauty brand has had its challenges, but Hajian says connecting with the Bellevue and Seattle community has been a key part of the company’s early growth. She adds that the brand is developing new products for release in the coming year and is exploring additional retail and collaboration opportunities.
