IV. Juicy Chemistry
What started off as careful questioning of so-called ‘organic products’ turned into a transformation of the beauty and skincare sector. Founders Pritesh and Meghna Asher stumbled upon the dark side of the organic beauty sector when they stumbled across the ingredients list on organic beauty products available at their local store which included harmful parabens, minerals, and synthetic colours.
A noble aim of upturning the organic beauty industry gave birth to Juicy Chemistry, a brand that solves all your beauty concerns through nature. From sourcing natural ingredients to trying and testing out formulations, practices, and products — you’re getting short of genuine organic goodness at this label.

Who says organic beauty has to be boring? The label’s luxury range of lip tints, butter balms, and elixir serums prove to be way more glamorous than your average Sephora products. Give them a try!
