Not only are vegan products cruelty-free but they are much more gentle and work beautifully for sensitive skin. Their gluten-free properties make them very beneficial for people who suffer from various skin diseases.

India was one of the first lands in the world that invented and relied heavily on natural healing and skin care methods. We are the land of Ayurveda, or ‘the science of life’, that encouraged us to think of beauty as a holistic concept rather than looking at our body as a series of disconnected causes and effects. Our ancestors lived to be at one with the environment and the results were astounding. In today’s context, with a highly informed and sensitive urbania taking control and ownership of their own actions, it is only fit that our brands start embracing natural methods of creating conscious and desirable beauty products.
