Four Play Non-Stop Airy Matte Liquid Lip - Ultimate Quad

As sustainability conversations evolve, the brand is advocating for a more consistent, behaviour-led approach encouraging consumers to integrate mindful choices into their daily routines, rather than limiting action to annual moments.

At the core of this approach is Kiro’s stackable range, designed to consolidate multiple products into a single unit. The 3-in-1 Eye Stack, which combines a full-size mascara, eyeliner and eyeshadow, and the 4-in-1 Liquid Lipstick Stack, offering multiple shades in one format, are positioned as practical solutions to reduce product redundancy and packaging waste.

3 in1 eyestack

By integrating three to four products into one, the brand reduces the need for individual plastic components and outer cartons, lowering overall material consumption while also improving efficiency across storage and transportation.

Alongside this, Kiro continues to build on its foundation of clean, vegan formulations through multi-tasking products that simplify routines. Its skin tint combines hydration, primer, pigment and SPF in a single step, while multi-use formats for lips, cheeks and eyes allow consumers to replace multiple products with one reducing both purchase volume and product waste.

Together, these innovations support the brand’s larger philosophy of “slow beauty” a shift away from excessive consumption towards fewer, high-performance products that are used fully rather than discarded midway.

Commenting on this, Vasundhara Patni, Founder, Kiro, said, “Sustainability cannot be a once-a-year activity it has to become part of our everyday routine. At Kiro, we’ve always believed in buying less, but buying better. That means creating products that truly work for you, so they are used fully rather than wasted. Our approach to slow beauty is rooted in reducing excess whether through multitasking formulations that replace multiple steps, or stackable formats that bring several products into one and reduce packaging. We are not here to sell more, but to create better because small, consistent choices in how we consume have a far greater long-term impact than occasional actions.”

The brand also operates as a plastic-neutral company, offsetting the amount of plastic it introduces into the environment, while continuing to prioritise reduction through design and formulation.

With sustainability in beauty increasingly expanding beyond ingredients to include packaging, lifecycle impact and consumer behaviour, Kiro’s Earth Day initiative reflects a broader industry shift where clean beauty, design innovation and mindful consumption come together to streamline routines and minimise waste.

This Earth Day, Kiro underscores a clear message: meaningful change lies not in doing more occasionally, but in doing better every day.

Every beauty lover has that one product they can’t stop recommending. The foundation that never fails, the moisturiser that saves their skin, the lipstick they’ve bought in every shade. The Nykaa Best in Beauty Awards are back for its third edition, giving beauty enthusiasts across India the chance to champion exactly those favourites. What started as a celebration of consumer-loved beauty has quickly grown into one of the most influential moments in India’s beauty calendar. Across its first two editions alone, the awards have seen over 2.6 lakhs votes, proving just how powerful the voice of the beauty consumer truly is.
 

Nykaa Best in Beauty Awards 2026
 

At its heart, the awards are built on a simple idea that has long defined Nykaa: that the people who use beauty every day should help decide what the best of it really looks like. Once again, Nykaa is putting the power of choice directly in the hands of consumers, celebrating the brands that have earned their trust and admiration. From global icons to homegrown innovators, the awards spotlight the products that have not only delivered exceptional results but also secured pride of place on vanities across the country.

The Nykaa Best in Beauty Awards extend that legacy by creating a platform where the community can champion the brands they love most. This year marks an exciting evolution for the awards. For the first time, the honours will be presented across two distinct recognitions: Consumer Choice Awards, determined entirely by public votes, and Jury Honours, selected by an esteemed panel of industry experts and beauty professionals. The awards have also grown significantly in scale. What began with 42 categories in its inaugural edition has now expanded to 60 categories, reflecting the remarkable growth and diversity of India’s beauty industry today.

The first two editions of NBIB were a huge success, driven by the overwhelming support and engagement of our community. What began as a way for consumers to celebrate the products they love has now evolved into a landmark platform that recognises favourites, breakthrough products, and the global and homegrown brands setting new benchmarks in India’s beauty landscape.
 

With the introduction of distinct Consumer Choice Awards and Jury Honours this year, we are recognising both the voice of millions of consumers and the perspective of industry experts.

Garnier Color Naturals Celebrates Mother–Daughter Trust With Raveena Tandon And Rasha Thadani In New Campaign

An iconic star, Raveena, along with her daughter Rasha, brings an effortless warmth and authenticity to the campaign through their real-life bond. The film captures a tender, everyday moment between the two, as Rasha turns to her mother after coloring her hair, seeking her vote of confidence. What follows is a simple yet meaningful exchange that reflects just how reassuring a mother’s validation is for confidence-building. Their natural chemistry and effortless interaction make the moment deeply relatable, reinforcing how beauty choices are often guided by trust, shared experiences, and the comfort of validation.

Sharing her thoughts on the campaign, Raveena Tandon said, “As a mother, there is nothing more meaningful than your child placing their trust in your choices, and nothing more reassuring than seeing them embrace their own with confidence. This campaign beautifully captures that heartfelt, powerful bond. It feels authentic and deeply relatable, mirroring the relationship I share with Rasha. I’ve always believed in choosing what I trust, and Garnier Color Naturals has consistently been that choice for me.”

Sharing her perspective, Rasha Thadani added, "I think we all, in some way, look to our mothers for validation, especially when trying something new. When it comes to beauty, my mom has always been my biggest inspiration and my most honest critic. This campaign felt very close to home because it captures a real moment between us. Seeing how fabulous my mom looked made me want to try Garnier Color Naturals myself."

Ajay Simha, General Manager, Garnier, said, "Garnier Color Naturals has long been an icon in at-home hair colour, trusted by generations of women for its rich, natural-looking color and ease of use. It is a brand that has been equally loved by mothers and daughters, making Raveena Tandon and Rasha Thadani a natural choice to bring this story to life. At a time when the at-home hair color category is evolving, this campaign builds on our legacy by placing trust at the centre of the conversation. By tapping into the universally relatable mother-daughter dynamic, we aim to make hair color feel more intuitive, reassuring, and relevant for today’s consumers."

With the new Trust Campaign, Garnier Color Naturals reinforces its leadership in at-home hair color by anchoring the category in trust – the most powerful driver -- and bringing together a product loved across generations with a story featuring Raveena Tandon and Rasha Thadani that reflects how women discover, choose, and stand by what works for them.

Garnier has announced its first-ever association with actor Raveena Tandon as the brand ambassador for Garnier Color Naturals, the brand’s nourishing hair color range
 

An iconic ’90s star loved across generations, Raveena Tandon is recognized for her candid persona and enduring charm and brings a strong cultural relevance when she highlights the ease of hair-coloring at home with Garnier Color Naturals and the confidence it brings. The campaign film captures Raveena in a playful moment as she is vibing to a song when she suddenly spots a few greys. Unfazed, she confidently reaches for Garnier Color Naturals. What follows is an effortless transformation that speaks to the product’s ease of use and place in one’s routine life, besides the rich natural look it imparts. Raveena’s iconic charm makes the everyday moment relatable, reinforcing her confidence in the nourishing hair color to ensure a great color payoff and deep conditioning.

Commenting on the association, Ajay Simha, General Manager Garnier, said, "We are delighted to welcome Raveena Tandon to the Garnier family. Raveena’s authenticity, confidence and timeless appeal resonate strongly with our consumers across generations and reflect the brand’s lineage of trusted hair color expertise. Through this partnership, we celebrate effortless color and timeless confidence with Garnier Color Naturals and reinforce how quick and convenient rich and nourishing hair coloring can be at home."

Garnier Color Naturals is enriched with three nourishing oils - olive, almond, and avocado - that help condition the hair while delivering rich, natural-looking color. Powered by Color Boost Technology, the formula ensures a vibrant color payoff. Its no-ammonia formulation makes coloring quick, convenient, and easy to incorporate into everyday routines. Raveena’s effortless expression of confidence in the brand and its ease of use reinforces Garnier Color Naturals as a trusted choice for both first-time and regular color users.

Expressing her excitement, brand ambassador Raveena Tandon stated, "I’m thrilled to partner with Garnier Color Naturals because the brand recognizes the value of trust and confidence that every woman looks for in her everyday routine. I love how Garnier Color Naturals makes hair-coloring at home easy and the resulting look is natural and stunning. The quick, convenient solution fits effortlessly into my life.”

With its rich color payoff and nourishing formula, Garnier Color Naturals continues to be a trusted choice for consumers looking for easy and reliable hair coloring solutions at home. In the new campaign, Raveena Tandon brings her signature charm to turn an everyday moment into an easy act of confidence with Garnier Color Naturals.

The science is ours, so is the standard - Boldpurity®
 

Founded by Khatija Shabana, a cosmetic scientist with a singular thesis - control begins at the source - Boldpurity® is not a beauty brand in the conventional sense. It is a precision science house. It owns its laboratory. It controls its formulations. It holds its manufacturing under a single, accountable roof. In a market saturated with white-labeled formulas and outsourced claims, that is not a detail. It is the entire story.
 

The clean beauty movement asked brands to reveal their ingredients. That was a beginning. But transparency without control is incomplete. A brand can disclose every molecule in a formula it did not design, manufactured in a facility it does not own, by technicians it never trained.

Boldpurity® made a different choice.
 

"When I decided to build this brand, I made one non-negotiable commitment. We would own the science. Not license it. Not approve it from a supplier deck. Own it - from the first raw material decision to the final pH calibration. That is the only way to make a promise you can keep," Khatija Shabana, Founder & Cosmetic Scientist, Boldpurity®.
 

This model - in-house R&D, in-house production - is now the most meaningful form of quality assurance available to a skincare consumer. In 2026, it is also extraordinarily rare.

Boldpurity® launches with three hero formulations. Each targets a distinct mechanism of skin aging. Each employs a delivery architecture engineered from the cellular level up.

SkinReset™ PDRN Serum

PDRN - Polydeoxyribonucleotide - is a DNA-fragment compound. Its primary function is to activate A2A adenosine receptors, stimulating fibroblast proliferation and triggering the skin's own repair cascade. The SkinReset™ serum delivers PDRN at verified molecular weights, ensuring receptor engagement rather than surface-level contact. This is cellular repair. Not metaphor. Mechanism.

CellMorph™ 500 TXA Spicule Serum

The delivery problem in skincare has always been penetration. Active ingredients applied topically rarely reach the dermal layer in sufficient concentration to produce measurable change. Boldpurity® addresses this with CellMorph’s silica spicules - microscopic, needle-like structures - that physically facilitate transdermal delivery of Tranexamic Acid at 500 ppm. The spicules create micro-channels. The TXA follows. The mechanism is not theoretical. It is applied materials science.

Aquablur™ Bubble Toner Serum

Hydration, at its most functional, is a delivery event. The Aquablur™ Bubble Toner Serum uses a controlled effervescence system to increase surface contact between hydrating actives and the stratum corneum. The bubbles are not cosmetic. They are the mechanism, optimising absorption at the first cellular barrier. This is what intelligent delivery looks like in practice.

India has centuries of knowledge about skin, plant biology, and cellular wellness. Boldpurity® is not attempting to modernise that heritage. It is building a new category alongside it - one where Indian-founded science sets the global clinical benchmark.

"I want Boldpurity® to be the proof that Indian skincare does not need to look outward for validation. The precision is here. The science is here. We built the factory. Now we are building the standard," Khatija Shabana, Founder & Cosmetic Scientist, Boldpurity®
 

Boldpurity® is available at www.boldpurity.com and through select clinical partners across India. International distribution launches Q3 2026. The skin longevity movement does not wait for convention to catch up. It proceeds on evidence.

About Boldpurity®
Boldpurity® is a luxury clinical skincare house founded in Hyderabad, India by cosmetic scientist Khatija Shabana. The brand owns its complete R&D and manufacturing infrastructure, enabling formulation precision unavailable to outsourced production models. Boldpurity® is built on four pillars: Scientific Integrity, In-House Manufacturing, Intelligent Delivery Systems, and Fearless Transparency. Its mission is to establish Indian clinical skincare as a definitive global standard.

Airy Matte Range

This Lip Appreciation Day, the clean beauty brand puts its lip collection in focus, celebrating lips with flattering nudes, expressive colour, skin-loving ingredients and textures that feel as good on the lips as they look.

Because appreciating lips means more than just adding colour. It means creating lip products that deliver full colour in a single swipe, feel lightweight and comfortable, and stay wearable through the day without dryness or discomfort.

At the heart of the collection is the Airy Matte Liquid Lipstick, created for those who love the look of matte lips without the dryness that often comes with it. Delivering intense pigment in one swipe, the formula settles into a breathable matte finish while apricot and avocado oils help keep lips moisturised.

For a softer, plush finish, the Velvet Soufflé Liquid Lipstick offers a velvety matte texture that gently blurs lip lines and leaves lips with a smooth wash of colour. The formula is enriched with CoQ10, an antioxidant that helps protect lips, and Aquaxyl, which supports long-lasting hydration, ensuring comfort through the day.

Balancing colour with nourishment, the Ceramide Tinted Lip Glaze Balm adds a hint of colour with a glass-like shinewhile ingredients like ceramides and squalane help support and repair the lip barrier. Meanwhile, the Fleur Lip Balm, infused with calendula oil, helps soothe and calm dry lips while delivering gentle hydration.

For women who love versatility, the Four Play Lip Stack brings together four wearable shades in one sleek, compact format, making it easy to switch colours through the day, whether it’s a work meeting, a quick coffee break or a night out.

Speaking about the philosophy behind the range, Vasundhara Patni, Founder of KIRO , said, "Women today are constantly multitasking, and their beauty products need to move with them. When we develop lip products, we focus on creating formulas that deliver beautiful colour instantly while also caring for the lips. Our formulations are thoughtfully researched and infused with ingredients like apricot and avocado oils, CoQ10, Aquaxyl, ceramides and calendula oil so that every swipe not only enhances colour but also supports lip health. Lip Appreciation Day is a lovely reminder, but for us, appreciating lips is something our products are designed to do every single day. Clean beauty, for us, means creating products that women can wear comfortably and confidently, knowing their lips are being cared for."

From balanced nudes that flatter natural lip tones to rich browns, warm terracottas and elegant reds, the collection is designed to bring together colour, comfort and care in equal measure.

Because when it comes to appreciating your lips, KIRO believes they deserve that love every single day  not just on Lip Appreciation Day.

Unlike a full blonde, Bronde delivers dimension without extremes, offering a refined transition that complements diverse Indian skin tones and hair textures.

“Bronde represents a new era in hair color, striking a balance between bold expression and subtlety,” says Priya Kasthuri Rangan, Head of Education, L’Oreal Professionnel India. “At L’Oreal Professionnel, we recognise the individuality of every client’s hair and personality. With Bronde shades, stylists can craft tailored transformations that consider skin tone, hair texture, and personal style. From a warm, honey-infused blend to a cool, ashy look, every Bronde is carefully curated to highlight natural beauty while allowing creativity. The technique, placement, and color choices are deliberate, resulting in seamless, multidimensional shades that look effortless and elevated.”

A Shade for Every Woman

From warm honey and caramel tones to soft mocha and mushroom bronde shades, the palette offers a spectrum of possibilities, empowering women to explore their personal style with confidence. This flexibility encourages experimentation with placement, tone, and looks, making Bronde especially appealing to younger consumers, including Gen Z, who value expressive yet accessible transformations.

“Bronde is more than a trend; it represents a strong direction for professional hair color,” notes Mathilde Barthelemy-Vigier, General Manager, L’Oreal Professionnel India. “For salons, it is a highly workable color look, supported by proven techniques such as French Balayage, Ombre Highlights & Babylights, enabling consistent, multi-dimensional results across clients. For consumers, Bronde offers flexibility and personalisation, the ability to experiment while staying within a brown-led palette they trust. Backed by our high-performance color portfolio including iNOA, Majirel, and Dia, along with virtual try-on tools, this ecosystem allows both salons and consumers to adopt the trend with confidence. Together, this makes Bronde a scalable, desirable, and enduring color trend.”

Professional Expertise Meets Innovative Technology

At the heart of Bronde’s flawless results are the wide range of L’Oreal Professionnel ranges: iNOA – the no ammonia hair color, Majirel – the pro favorite fashion-first color & Dia Color - the demi-permanent gloss color. These ranges offer a wide palette of shades to pros and consumers to pick from.

The Bronde Edit – Shaping the 2026 Hair Color Narrative

Through Bronde Blends, L’Oreal Professionnel reinforces its presence in salons as an authority on hair color, championing a direction that brings together technical excellence and refined aesthetic sensibilities. From high-fashion runways to everyday transformations, Bronde reflects a desire for individuality, effortless elegance, and expressive freedom, offering women a palette of possibilities crafted to suit diverse complexions, hair textures, and lifestyles. With L’Oreal Professionnel’s guidance, 2026 becomes the moment to explore the transformative potential of this hybrid shade and make Bronde a personal signature.

To mark the launch of The Bronde Blends, L’Oreal Professionnel is introducing the trend through a digital-first big bang rollout with Samantha Prabhu followed by the Bronde Club, Reem Shaikh, Komal Pandey, Srushti Porey, and Alma Hussein . The launch showcases how Bronde translates across different styles, textures, and individual expressions, reinforcing its relevance as a modern, professional hair color direction for 2026.

Virendra Sharma and Amisha Priyadarshi, co-founders of VAGINE | THE VAGINE STORY, a women-led personal care brand spanning perfumes and feminine hygiene

A Growing Market with Room for New Voices

India’s beauty and personal care market is already substantial and growing. Valued at over USD 31 billion in 2025 and projected to reach nearly USD 49 billion by 2033, the sector is expanding as consumers embrace premium, personalised, and culturally relevant products. Increasing disposable incomes and digital access are fuelling this growth. (IMARC Group¹)
 

In parallel, the women’s fragrances segment mirrors global trends. The worldwide market for women’s fragrances was estimated at USD 43.4 billion in 2023 and is expected to approach USD 69.2 billion by 2031, driven by rising grooming awareness and disposable income. (Markets & Data²).
 

Equally noteworthy is the rising demand for feminine hygiene products. India’s feminine hygiene market was valued close to USD 960 million in 2024 and is forecast to grow to nearly USD 3.8 billion by 2033, reflecting strong growth at a CAGR of nearly 15 percent. (IMARC Group³) This surge is linked to broader awareness campaigns, improving access, and evolving consumer preferences.
 

These figures show the structural opportunity brands like VAGINE are tapping into, and why innovation matters in both expressive and essential categories.
 

Designing with Purpose

Where many consumer brands start with trend-chasing, VAGINE’s founding philosophy is rooted in women’s lived experience. Its co-founder Amisha Priyadarshi often speaks about femininity not in superficial terms, but as a dynamic source of identity and empowerment. The brand’s zodiac-inspired perfume range for women embraces this perspective, suggesting that fragrance can be an expression of personality, not just a beauty accessory.
 

This approach resonates with a growing base of consumers who see personal care as an extension of self, not a commodity. By drawing inspiration from elemental traits and astrological individuality, the brand is positioned as a voice in the larger conversation about identity and self-expression.
 

Stepping into Feminine Hygiene

VAGINE’s expansion into sanitary pads reflects a broader evolution among women-led consumer ventures that move beyond aesthetic categories into essential wellness. The sanitary pad market in India, while rapidly growing, still carries cultural stigma and accessibility challenges in many regions. A product that balances comfort, quality, awareness, and accessibility can help deepen category penetration and encourage more open conversations about menstrual health.
 

This blend of beauty and biology is not accidental. It underscores a simple insight: women do not separate their expressive choices from everyday needs, and brands that acknowledge that complexity are likely to resonate more deeply. (thevaginelife.com).
 

Policy Shifts Supporting Women Entrepreneurs

Institutional backing has also played a role in enabling ventures like VAGINE to scale. The brand is recognised under Startup India and the Start-in-UP programme, and has received funding support from the Uttar Pradesh government’s Start in UP scheme, which includes incentives for women-led startups. Such support helps reduce early-stage barriers and underscores evolving policy focus on women’s entrepreneurship in consumer goods.
 

The Bigger Picture

India’s consumer market is expanding on multiple fronts, but the rise of women-led, women-focused brands marks a particularly meaningful shift. These companies are not just participating in growth segments; they are redefining them with products that reflect authentic female experience and choice.
 

In a market where scale often overshadows nuance, brands like VAGINE remind us that relevance and resonance, grounded in real-world insight, are equally important drivers of long-term success.
 

The Founders: Shaping a Brand Through Women’s Lived Experience

Co-founded by Virendra Sharma and Amisha Priyadarshi, VAGINE’s vision is strongly shaped by its female co-founder, Amisha, a legal professional turned entrepreneur. Her perspective brings legal clarity, cultural sensitivity, and a deep understanding of women’s lived experiences. The brand’s storytelling, product philosophy, and positioning are guided by empathy rather than assumptions, ensuring relevance in a market where conscious consumers increasingly value authenticity over trend-led narratives.

From viral obsessions to everyday icons, Nykaa decodes the beauty choices that defined 2025 

If beauty in 2025 had a headline, it would read: India flirted hard and swiped right on what worked. 

This wasn’t a year of blind loyalty or long-term commitment. It was the year of curious, confident experimentation. Consumers chased what was viral, sampled what was trending, and moved fast, but only the products that truly delivered earned repeat screen time in their routines. 

Ingredient lists were scanned like subtitles. Reviews mattered. Reels influenced carts. And routines evolved in real time. 

With a community of over 45 million beauty lovers across 19,000+ pincodes, Nykaa’s Best of 2025 doesn’t just decode what sold, it captures the beauty zeitgeist of India in 2025: what people flirted with, fell for, and folded into everyday life. 

Because in 2025, beauty behaved less like a long marriage, and more like dating apps on a good day: fast, curious, trend-led, and brutally honest. 

Some Categories Didn’t Just Trend. They Went Monumental. 

• The Pout Power: We sold 1,750 lipsticks every hour. Whether it was a swipe of the M.A.C MACximal Matte in Mehr or the cult-favorite Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk, somewhere in India, a pout was being perfected every two seconds.

• Infrastructure for the Eyes: Stack all the kajals sold in 2025 and you’d build 575 Burj Khalifas. Clearly, a sharp wing isn’t a phase; it’s infrastructure.

• Base Camp: The volume of foundation sold could paint 250 football fields. From the high-coverage NARS Natural Radiant Longwear to the "skin-first" Smashbox Halo Healthy Glow Tinted Moisturizer, India is committed to the base like never before. 

• The Pink City: Blush sales hit such heights this year that if they were paint, Jaipur wouldn’t need a refresh for the next century. (Yes, Kay Beauty’s Velvet Crème Blush deserves a mention.) 

• Reviews as the final word: Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser (Dry to Normal Skin with Niacinamide) won without breaking a sweat. With 1.3 lakh+ ratings and a stellar 4.5-star rating, it officially became India’s most-reviewed beauty product on Nykaa, proof that sometimes, the quiet classics win the loudest applause. 

• Brand Topper: Dot & Key didn’t just sit pretty on vanities this year, it lived rent-free in people’s search histories. In fact, “Dot & Key Face Moisturiser” emerged as the fastest-growing beauty search keyword on Nykaa in 2025, clocking 63% growth. From ceramides to sunscreen, the brand’s barrier-first, no-fuss philosophy struck a chord with a generation that wants skincare to work hard and feel good doing it. Cute packaging helped, but performance sealed the deal. 

Some people shop. Some people commit

• A shopper from Nagpur placed Nykaa’s single highest-value order of 2025, Rs. 4 lakhs in one go, 91 products, no browsing, no second thoughts. 

Was it a wedding? A launch? A glow-up era? We don’t know. But we do know the face was going to be camera-ready for anthing. 

Moral of the story? When India loves beauty, it loves it wholeheartedly.

Skin First, Always: The Barrier Era 

In 2025, "glow" was the result, but "barrier health" was the requirement. Consumers stopped chasing miracles and started playing the long game with ceramides and peptides. 

• Forever Status: Icons like Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser and Simple Kind to Skin Refreshing Facewash proved they never go out of style. India is clearing the shelves at warp speed with 19 cleansers finding a new bathroom mirror every single minute. 

• Moisture Mania: Nykaa sold 25 moisturisers a minute, making hydration the most consistent step in beauty routines. Neutrogena Hydro Boost and Cetaphil Moisturising Cream topped the charts in this category. So by the time you finish this paragraph, 50 more routines just got a hydration upgrade.

Serums: The Power Move 

If moisturisers were the foundation, serums were the intentional "main character." 

• The Glow-Getter: Minimalist 10% Vitamin C Serum For Face For Glowing Skin became the ultimate bright spot in India’s vanity, leading the charge for radiant, even-toned skin. 

• Ingredient Literacy: India memorized percentages like passwords. From The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% to targeted peptides, these were the go-to solutions for consumers who know their molecules from their marketing. 

K-Beauty - From Discovery to Discipline: Not a Trend. A Habit. 

2025 marked the year K-beauty completed its transition from curiosity to core routine. 

• Trust over Hype: Products like Beauty of Joseon Relief Sunscreen didn’t just go viral, they stayed, were repurchased, and relied upon. 

• Lips as Self-Care: Glossy finishes, lip oils, nourishing balms, and creamy textures officially dethroned old-school mattes. Cult favourites like LANEIGE Lip Glowy Balm became the sweet spot where self-care met self-expression, making lips the main character of the beauty routine. 

• The Glass Skin Standard: COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence remained a staple, aligning perfectly with India’s growing preference for barrier care and skin longevity. K-beauty wasn’t being explored anymore. It was being trusted. 

Fragrance: Building an Aura Wardrobe 

• India stopped looking for "the one" signature scent and started building wardrobes. 5 fragrances were sold every minute. 

• Main Character Energy: From the luxury of DIOR Sauvage to the sweet comfort of Plum Bodylovin’ Vanilla Caramello EDP, scents became a daily personality trait. 

Makeup, But Make It Intelligent: The Era of the Multitasker 

Heavy glam took a backseat this year, not because makeup disappeared, but because it evolved. Consumers leaned into skin tints, breathable bases, and formulas that worked overtime. Makeup didn’t want attention; it wanted performance. 

• Tint-Meets-Treatment: Products like Smashbox Halo Tinted Moisturizer and L’Oréal Paris Infallible 24H Tinted Serum led the movement. 

• Lips, but Smarter: Liquid lipsticks became the statement piece of 2025, long-wear, no-transfer formulas ruled the day. Standouts included L’Oréal Paris Infallible Matte Resistance Liquid Lipstick and Nykaa Matte To Last! Transferproof Liquid Lipstick proving that color and performance can coexist effortlessly. 

• Enduring Icons: Meanwhile, classics like Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer reminded everyone that cult status isn't a trend; it's a legacy. 

In 2025, makeup didn’t shout. It showed up and did the job. 

The Ritual Upgrade: Bath, Body & Hair 

Body care moved from "functional hygiene" to "intentional ritual," with Bath & Body Kits surging by 93%. 

• The Shower Scene: It wasn't just a wash; it was a treatment with Chemist At Play’s Exfoliating Body Wash (4% Lactic Acid) and the comforting Dove Relaxing Care Shea Butter & Vanilla. 

• Scalp is the New Skin: Haircare got serious. Through the last year, over 1 crore rosemary-based products were sold. WishCare Hair Growth Serum moved at a rate of one unit every minute, proving India is officially over the "quick fix" and into the "thick fix." 

• The Gloss Factor: L’Oréal Professionnel Absolut Repair and L’Oréal Paris Hyaluron Moisture shampoos kept the frizz at bay for 72 hours at a time. 

Nykaa Now: For the “I Need It Yesterday” Generation 

Imagine this, you’re halfway through packing for a holiday when you realize your face wash is bone dry. One shopper in Bangalore found herself in this exact "pre-flight panic." Realizing she was flying to Delhi that same night, she didn't think a restock was possible. She ordered her favorite cleanser via Nykaa Now while still at her office desk. The result? The package didn't just meet her at home; it beat her there. That’s not just delivery; that’s a travel hack. 

When "Instant" Actually Means Instant: 

• The 6-Minute Flex: In Hyderabad, someone restocked their full barrier-repair kit, Minimalist 10% Vitamin C Serum and CeraVe Moisturizer, while a Bella Vita Perfume Set landed in Delhi… all in 6 minutes. That’s faster than deciding what to watch on Netflix. 

• The "Everything Everywhere All At Once" Order: While most people use us for quick fixes, Chennai went for the "full vanity overhaul." Our largest basket of the year featured 96 products in a single order, a makeup-heavy haul of Nykaa Cosmetics, Lakme and Neutrogena that proved our assortment is as deep as our delivery is fast. 

Whether it’s one serum or ninety-six lipsticks, Nykaa Now is making sure the only thing you waited for in 2025 was your nails to dry.

The Big Picture: Smarter, Softer, More Intentional 

Beauty in 2025 wasn’t about chasing what’s next, it was about building routines that last. Beauty in 2025 wasn’t about chasing what’s next, it was about moving fast, choosing smart, and switching without guilt. 

Indian consumers explored freely, followed trends unapologetically, and built routines that evolved with them. From barrier-first skincare to intelligent makeup, indulgent body care and mood-led fragrances, beauty became deeply personal, and joyfully flexible. 

And as always, Nykaa remained the space where curiosity met with credibility, trends met trust, and discovery happens at the speed of now. Shop the ‘Best of 2025’ only on Nykaa or at a Nykaa store near you.

Oriflame highlights its iconic Milk & Honey, IlluSkin, NovAge+ and GG Pearls, along with its signature fragrance, as it marks 30 years in India

Rooted in its Swedish heritage, Oriflame has developed a wide and trusted product portfolio of more than 500 offerings across skincare, wellness, colour cosmetics, haircare, personal care and fragrance, including icons such as its Tender Care balm and Milk and Honey Body Creams. Tender Care, originally one of the brand’s most recognised global products and now also manufactured in India, continues to be a bestseller with one unit sold every fifteen seconds. Every formulation reflects the brand’s focus on safety, performance and responsible ingredient choices, which continue to define its product philosophy in India and globally.

Oriflame’s growth in India has been shaped not only by its products but also by its community. The brand’s network of independent Brand Partners, 80 percent of whom are women, has created meaningful avenues for flexible and self-driven income, contributing to a wider democratization of wealth. This focus on empowerment has remained central to Oriflame’s identity since its arrival in the country.

“Three decades in India have given us a very clear view of the market and how our consumers are evolving,” said Edyta Kurek, Senior Vice President and Head of India and Indonesia, Oriflame. “The scale of the market and the diversity of its consumers has pushed us to strengthen our capabilities across science, product development and local operations. Our focus remains practical and consistent & we want to deliver products that meet real consumer needs and continue creating meaningful opportunities for our Brand Partners. As we plan the next phase of our growth, we are engaging more with emerging consumer groups, including Gen Z, whose expectations of flexibility and work-from-anywhere potency are reshaping how opportunity is perceived.”

A significant part of Oriflame’s scientific progress comes from its long-standing research in skin ageing. The brand’s patented bioactivating technology, Oripeptide 3, is the result of close to twenty years of study in cellular health. Recent insights show that Oripeptide 3 works with the skin’s own biology and supports several key markers linked to firmness, clarity and overall skin vitality. This research continues to strengthen the NovAge+ range as one of Oriflame’s most advanced skincare lines.

As the brand moves forward towards its next chapter in India, Oriflame aims to expand its wellness and skincare offerings, build on its scientific capabilities and focus on creating more opportunities in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities.

Delhi turned pink this weekend as Nykaaland 3.0, India’s largest and most immersive beauty playground, made its spectacular Capital debut. Co-produced by Nykaa, India’s leading beauty and lifestyle destination, and BookMyShow Live, the live entertainment experiential division of BookMyShow, the three-day festival transformed NSIC Grounds, Okhla, into a cultural epicentre for beauty, music, and creativity.

Nykaaland 3.0 Welcomes 30,000+ Attendees in its First-Ever Delhi Edition

Attracting 30,000+ beauty enthusiasts, 60+ global and homegrown brands, and 3,000+ icons including celebrities, India’s leading celebrity makeup artists, and creators, Nykaaland 3.0 marked the festival’s expansion beyond Mumbai, cementing its place as India’s definitive beauty movement. The festival not only opened a bold new chapter with its Delhi debut but also reinforced Nykaaland’s growing influence as India’s leading hub for creator-led commerce.

Beauty in India is no longer confined to products — it’s a lifestyle, a language, and a cultural statement. At Nykaaland 3.0, this evolution came alive with an unparalleled lineup of global icons — YSL Beauty, Armani Beauty, Carolina Herrera, Dolce & Gabbana Beauty, Supergoop!, MILK Makeup, TIRTIR, and Kylie Cosmetics — alongside Indian innovators redefining ‘Made in India’ beauty such as Kay Beauty, LovETC, Sammmm, ThriveCo, Minimalist, Nykaa Cosmetics, Moi by Nykaa, Dot & Key, Nykaa Wanderlust, Earth Rhythm, and Swiss Beauty.

Fashion joined the celebration with Nykd by Nykaa and H&M, bridging the worlds of style and beauty.

Anchit Nayar, Executive Director and CEO, Nykaa Beauty, said, “Nykaaland 3.0 marks a defining moment for India’s beauty ecosystem. With over 30,000 attendees at our first-ever Delhi edition, the festival has evolved into India’s largest immersive beauty platform, where creators, the best of global and homegrown brands, and consumers converge in meaningful ways.

Denver's Diwali Campaign 2025
 

This year’s Diwali campaign focuses on the idea of “real influence” - portraying the modern man not through superficial perfection but through grounded confidence and sincerity. It explores what it truly means to be an influencer in today’s world, featuring real stories and behind-the-scenes moments that reflect Denver’s enduring ethos: “The Real Scent of Success.”
 

Through two heartfelt narratives, the campaign moves beyond the festival’s glitz to celebrate emotional warmth and meaningful relationships. It has been able to capture moments where genuine friendships outshine digital validation and where success is defined by kindness, humility, and real dedication, not merely by followers or filters.
 

The films’ storytelling also reinforces Denver’s brand ethos of a “Real Gentlemen”, encouraging viewers to honor those who lead with authenticity and self-belief. The tone emphasizes individuality and integrity over flash and facade, aligning with Denver’s brand philosophy of success with substance.
 

Speaking on the campaign, Saurabh Guptam, MD and Chairman, HSPL, said, “This Diwali, we’re celebrating real over reel - the kind of success that’s grounded in hard work, humility, and heart. At Denver, we’ve always believed that true success isn’t about appearances but about authenticity and influence that comes from character. Just like our fragrances, it’s not about being loud - it’s about leaving a lasting impression built on grace and real impact.”
 

Additionally, by shifting the focus from performative perfection to genuine expression, Denver’s campaign moves beyond being a product-centric advertisement to a value-driven narrative. It reinforces the brand’s purpose - to empower men who define success through authenticity, not illusion - paving the way for deeper emotional connections this festive season.

The platform celebrated inclusivity, individuality, and artistic innovation, with students from across the country participating to showcase their looks.

As part of the global theme “Walk Your Worth” from The L’Oréal Paris global show Le Défilé, the showcase highlighted individuality, inclusivity, and empowerment, positioning beauty as an equal partner to fashion in storytelling. Each look was complemented by the newly launched Infallible Laque Resistance Liquid Lipstick by L’Oréal Paris, weaving in the campaign thought “What’s Your Shine Statement” - a celebration of confidence and self-expression through high-shine color.
 

The evening culminated with the announcement of the winning designer team, who earned the rare opportunity to attend the Le Défilé at Paris Fashion Week in Paris.

Monisha gururani, Founder of House of Soundarya

The journey began with founder Monisha Gururani, a mother searching for safe skincare for her young son, a professional golfer exposed to hours of sun. Troubled by the lack of gentle, toxin-free options, Monisha set out to craft her own — blends that would be pure, effective, and free from synthetic fragrance. What started as a mother’s resolve has grown into a brand now embraced nationwide.

Each formulation begins with Ayurvedic botanicals like saffron, aloe vera, licorice, and 100x washed A2 ghee — known for their calming and restorative powers. These are elevated with plant-based actives such as niacinamide, ceramides, and Vitamin C (SAP), widely proven in K-beauty to brighten, protect, and refine skin. The result is a hybrid system of care — gentle enough for teens, effective enough for adults, and especially suited for Indian skin that demands both repair and resilience.

Pushp ahaan is adopted a school in haldwani to give quality education to young and deserving kids

But Monisha’s vision extends beyond beauty. Through the Pushp Ahaan Foundation, House of Soundarya has adopted a school in Uttarakhand, providing children with sports gear, shoes, library books, and uniforms, while also supporting families displaced by floods and natural disasters.

On Amazon India, the brand continues to receive glowing feedback. Customers call the 24K Gold Luxe Glow Kumkumadi Serum “liquid gold for the skin,” praising how its saffron-rich blend reduces dullness, softens fine lines, and delivers a natural glow without heaviness. Many reviews highlight that it feels indulgent yet safe, making it a product families keep returning to.

For Monisha, every jar and bottle is more than skincare. It’s a promise — of purity, of science backed by tradition, and of a brand that gives back.

House of Soundarya is available nationwide on Amazon India and at  www.HouseofSoundarya.com.

On the professional front, Mahesh is making headlines with his mega-project SSMB29 with SS Rajamouli, featuring Priyanka Chopra and Prithviraj Sukumaran.

Dr. Nidhi Singh Tandon shared that such technologies have been instrumental in setting the clinic apart. The clinic is the first in Uttar Pradesh, excluding Noida, to introduce Morpheus8, a non-invasive treatment that promotes deep skin remodeling.

When asked, “What inspired you to adopt advanced technologies like Morpheus8 in your clinic?”, Dr. Nidhi Singh Tandon replied, “I believe that bringing in advanced technologies is essential for delivering the best results for our patients. Morpheus8, for instance, is one of the most effective treatments for skin tightening and rejuvenation. I adopted it because it’s proven to give visible results while minimizing downtime, which is important for today’s fast-paced lifestyle.”

Further, when asked, “How do you ensure a new technology is truly effective and safe for your patients?” Dr. Nidhi Singh Tandon explained, “We conduct thorough in-clinic trials for every new technology we introduce. We rely on global standards and international validation. Every new treatment undergoes rigorous safety checks before being offered to our patients. Our priority is always patient safety and results.”

The clinic’s approach to skincare goes beyond just surface-level treatments. Dr. Nidhi Singh Tandon emphasizes a holistic approach that takes into account not just the skin but also a patient’s lifestyle, nutrition, and emotional well-being. This has resulted in a loyal patient base who appreciate the personalized care and tailored treatment plans.

Dr. Nidhi Singh Tandon said that the clinic has earned a strong reputation, particularly among celebrities, business leaders, and athletes, who see The Skin Art Clinic as their top choice for skincare. These high-profile clients value privacy and exclusivity.

The clinic’s 7-day free follow-up policy is one of the standout features, which is rare in the industry. The Skin Art Clinic also boasts the highest Net Promoter Score (NPS), underscoring its strong referral rates and patient loyalty.

With increasing demand from patients across India, particularly from Uttar Pradesh, Mumbai, Bangalore, and Delhi, The Skin Art Clinic is proving that exceptional skincare doesn’t have to come from metro cities. Its cutting-edge technology, personalized care, and ethical practices are setting the clinic apart as a leader in cosmetic dermatology in India.

According to a recent survey conducted by 3EA, The Skin Art Clinic achieved an impressive 72% patient satisfaction rate, surpassing top clinics in Mumbai (67%), Bangalore (64%), and Delhi (58%). These insights were revealed by 3EA during the press conference, underscoring the clinic’s growing reputation on a national scale.

Dr. Nidhi Singh Tandon and her team’s dedication to innovation and patient care continues to make The Skin Art Clinic the top choice for cosmetic dermatology in Uttar Pradesh and a trusted name across India.

Gen Z is leading the beauty revolution, reshaping their routines with a clear focus on active ingredients, simplified steps, and inspiration that starts with social media and creators. Their presence in the online beauty and personal care space is expected to increase from 40% in 2024 to 47% by 2030. Searches for niacinamide, ceramides, and other science-led activities continue to rise. Viral trends like glazed donut skin, and slugging reflect a move towards hydration-first, result-driven routines. Beauty in 2025 is no longer just about products, it is about intentional choices shaped by conscious consumers and creator-led influence.

Commenting on the launch, Manjari Singhal, Head of Business, Cleartrip, FMCG, and General Merchandise, Flipkart, said, “The beauty landscape in India is in the midst of a vibrant transformation, and no one is driving it more than GenZs. Their evolving preferences, digital fluency, and expressive approach to beauty are reshaping the industry as we know it. At Flipkart, we’ve always believed in staying close to the consumer. The Glam Up Trends Report is a reflection of that belief, an effort to listen, understand, and anticipate what beauty means to the next generation. This report is the result of a deep, collaborative effort between Flipkart and NielsenIQ teams.”

Priyanka Bhargav, Senior Director, Research & Insights, Flipkart, said, “Beauty today is bold, expressive, and constantly evolving and no one captures that spirit quite like Gen Z. Whether it’s their focus on skin health, passion for active ingredients, love for nostalgic aesthetics, or embrace of hybrid formats, they’re redefining the beauty playbook. The Glam Up Trends Report helps decode this dynamic shift. With rich data, real consumer voices, and cultural context, it highlights what’s truly resonating. Trends like Hydration Daze, Scientific Obsession, kiSKIN, and Cherry Cherry Lady go beyond surface appeal, they reflect how young India is engaging with beauty in deeper, more expressive ways. This report is the result of a thoughtful collaboration between the Flipkart Insights Team, the beauty and personal Care team, and our intelligence partner, NielsenIQ. We hope it sparks fresh thinking, challenges conventions, and inspires the next wave of beauty innovation.”

Key Trends:

• Skin-First Beauty Becomes the Default: The foundation of beauty is now skincare. Minimalist routines with hydration and barrier repair are dominating both shopping carts and social feeds. Flipkart recorded a 120% spike in gel moisturisers and over 80% growth in face serums, while face wash sales rose 123% year-on-year. Shoppers are prioritising lean formulations with active ingredients such as salicylic acid, niacinamide, and vitamin C, choosing to treat rather than cover. K-beauty products continue to surge in popularity, with sheet masks, snail mucin serums, and hydrating essences seeing over 90% growth year-on-year, reflecting a growing appetite for globally trending skincare routines.

• Scientific Obsession & Hydration Daze: Beauty routines are increasingly rooted in science. Consumers seek efficacy and transparency, gravitating toward ingredient-first formulations like powder cleansers, dew boosters, and barrier-repair creams. 62% of Gen Z search for beauty by ingredients, not brands. Face creams and gels rose 1.4x YoY, and niacinamide searches surged ~70%, underscoring the rising preference for hydration-focused, evidence-backed skincare.

• Hair Game Strong: Hair rituals on Flipkart are redefined, with shoppers moving from traditional oils to performance-driven solutions rooted in science. The demand for peptide-powered serums, K-gloss treatments, rice water-infused rinses, and scalp-balancing treatments has accelerated, reflecting a clear shift toward targeted, ingredient-led care. Flipkart witnessed a 2x growth in sales of hair serum, and searches for scalp-related concerns, like dandruff serums and itch-relief treatments, have grown by over 85%. This signals a new consumer mindset of haircare should be as intentional and effective as skincare, lightweight, functional, and focused on long-term scalp and strand health.

• Scent-sational: Fragrance as a Daily Ritual of Self-Expression: Fragrance on Flipkart has transformed from an occasional indulgence to a daily ritual of identity and mood-setting. Consumers are embracing “smellmaxxing”, layering mists, roll-ons, and perfumes to create personalised scent profiles that reflect their personality and routine. Flipkart recorded a 2.2x growth in overall fragrance sales in Q1'25 vs Q1'24, with searches for attars alone increasing by 2.5x, signalling renewed interest in culturally rooted, artisanal scents. Gourmand notes inspired by desserts like marshmallow, pistachio, and brown sugar are trending across social channels, especially among younger shoppers. Fragrance today is about more than just smelling good; it’s about self-expression, emotional connection, and everyday wearability.

• Cherry Cherry Lady - Makeup That Does More: Makeup on Flipkart is getting smarter, with functional beauty leading the way. Consumers are choosing hybrid formats that deliver both colour and care. Lip oils, SPF-infused tints, and barrier-friendly blush sticks are replacing traditional, single-purpose products. Shoppers are looking for fewer steps and more benefits, favouring products that adapt to their fast-paced, skin-conscious routines. Gloss-forward lip products continue to gain momentum, while searches for Surma-inspired eye looks have surged 33x in Q1’25 vs Q1’24, reflecting a blend of modern utility and cultural revival. Today’s makeup is not just about aesthetics, it’s about ease, efficacy, and everyday relevance

• Sun–In & Stunning: SPF is no longer optional. Daily protection has become a routine essential, with portable sunscreen sticks and gels supporting reapplication habits. Sunscreen sales doubled, and searches for SPF-related products rose by 76% YoY, indicating that sun protection is now seen as both a health and aesthetic necessity

• Korean Street: The K-Beauty Effect: Korean beauty continues to shape Indian skincare. Products like skin blur serums, serum-infused glow boosters, and mini “skintellectual snacking” formats are seeing rapid adoption. Searches for Korean beauty grew ~81% YoY, making it one of the fastest-rising segments on Flipkart.

• From Plains to Peaks, Beauty Speaks: Regional beauty needs are becoming increasingly important. Variations in air quality, water hardness, humidity, and diet are influencing skin and hair concerns across India. Flipkart is addressing these micro-needs with tailored assortments, especially in Tier 2+ cities, to serve a broader spectrum of Indian consumers

The Indian beauty landscape is undergoing a transformation, and Gen Z is at the center of it. With their digital fluency and trend-first mindset, this generation is redefining how beauty is discovered, chosen, and celebrated. Flipkart, through its annual flagship events like Glam Up Fest 2025, is bringing together deep consumer insights, wide reach, and strong partnerships to lead this shift, bridging the gap between global innovation and local access, to help redefine beauty for the next generation of Indian consumers.

Lalruattluanga Wins the title of Global Color Visionary Title at Wella Professionals International TrendVision 2024–25 Finale in Malta

The journey to Malta began at the Indian Finale of the TrendVision 2024-25 Awards, held at Andaz, New Delhi, where Lalruattluanga competed alongside 20 of the country’s top hairstylists in an electrifying showcase of creativity, innovation, and transformative skill. With over 66,000 entries received from across India, the competition witnessed an unprecedented display of homegrown talent, culminating in Lalruattluanga’s selection as one of India’s national winners under the color category to compete in the Global finale.

The Wella TrendVision Award, hosted by Wella Professionals, the No.1 salon color brand globally*, is an annual celebration of creative excellence and innovation in hairdressing. Lalruattluanga’s entry was inspired by the quiet beauty of Shillong’s golden sunsets, tying into this year’s theme, “Golden Hour”. His color story evoked the calm radiance of dusk, a moment that captures the transition between endings and new beginnings. Using Wella Professionals Koleston Perfect Me+, he created a look that brought the Golden Hour to life through warm, blended highlights and soft root shadows. His creation was more than just hair color, it was a visual expression of hope and tranquility.

“The Golden Hour reminds us to pause and find peace, that even at the end of a long day, beauty remains,” said Lalruattluanga. “Through my work, I wanted to capture that feeling and reflect it in every strand. To me, the Golden Hour represents both the quiet beauty of endings and the promise of new beginnings. In those fleeting moments, when the sky glows warm and golden, there’s a sense of calm that wraps around you, a reminder that no matter how exhausting the day has been, there is still light, still hope. In today’s fast-paced world, I believe it’s important to hold on to that sense of stillness and comfort, and I tried to translate that emotion into hair, turning a visual moment into a lasting impression. I’m truly ecstatic to have received this honor on a global stage, it feels surreal to be the first Indian to bring this title home.”

Pravesh Saha, General Manager, Wella India & South Asia, shared, “Lalruattluanga’s win marks a historic milestone for India’s hairdressing industry, the first time an Indian hairdresser has taken home a global title at TrendVision. It’s not just a personal victory, but a moment of pride for the entire country. His achievement puts India firmly on the global map of hair artistry and is a powerful reminder of the extraordinary talent rooted in our diverse regions. At Wella, we are proud to champion such visionary artists who dare to dream big and push the boundaries of creativity.”

Wella Professionals continues to empower stylists with global opportunities, world-class education, and groundbreaking innovations. This historic win signals the rise of Indian talent on the world stage.

She carries a talisman of infinite possibilities

Inspired by the Flower of Life-a talisman of universal interconnectedness-Aeterna interprets geometric patterns as symbols of life. Initially envisioned in Purple Amethyst, representing feminine energy, Aeterna now evolves with the introduction of Green Amethyst, a gemstone symbolising renewal - creating a dual-toned narrative.

Aeterna Medallion: Custom-cut Purple and Green Amethyst

In the life of the Zoya muse, Aeterna reflects infinite possibilities that unfold within her. These pieces transcend trends, offering both elegance and intention for the modern woman. Each piece of jewellery becomes not just an ornament, but a spiritual companion, awakening her spirit beyond time and making her feel more alive than ever. 

This evolution of Aeterna doesn’t extend its purpose - it deepens it. These gemstones carry more than colour - they embody meaning for the woman whose life unfolds like a pilgrimage of spirit. Crafted for the modern seeker, this collection accompanies her from introspective mornings to luminous evenings, weaving seamlessly into the rhythm of her day. These are not just jewels, but meditations in form - a quiet language of presence and poetry.

“Aeterna has always held a cherished place in the Zoya universe - its resonance with women is both profound and deeply personal,” shares Amanpreet Ahluwalia, Business head of Zoya-House of Tata. “With this new expression, we’ve added depth and meaning, while also expanding the collection into more elevated and expressive categories - pieces that are beautifully designed to be worn every day. More women are embracing Aeterna, making it their own, and finding a personal connection in its evolving spirit."

Reimagining Aeterna, the beloved collection inspired by sacred geometry, this refined edition features rare, unique cuts of Green and Purple Amethyst sculpted into myriad patterns of rose gold. These carefully crafted elements become wearable symbols of energy, balance, and transcendence. While Purple Amethyst continues to anchor her feminine essence, Green Amethyst evokes a soft awakening within. 

“Reimagining Aeterna was a deeply thoughtful process,” says Revathi Kant, Chief Design Officer, Titan Company Limited. “We sought to honour the soul of the original collection while unveiling it through a more contemporary lens-introducing sculptural silhouettes and intricate, geometric detailing. With the addition of Green Amethyst-a gemstone that embodies infinite possibility-we infused the collection with a renewed sense of lightness and luminosity.” 

With Zoya’s unmistakable artistry, every creation becomes a modern talisman - a wearable embodiment of intention and design mastery. Zoya’s new expression of Aeterna claims its place in the world of modern luxury - where timeless design  becomes a language of inner beauty, and jewellery is an intimate extension of self - formidable, feminine and infinite. 

The collection is now available across Zoya ateliers - an eternal ode to presence, purpose, and poetic design.

Shankara launches Brahmi Bhringraj Taila

Hair oiling has been a regular part of Indian self-care practices for generations. Drawing from these long-standing traditions, the formulation brings together time-tested ingredients to meet the needs of modern lifestyles.

Shankara’s Brahmi Bhringraj Taila is made with 100% natural ingredients and is suitable for all hair types, including coloured hair. At the core of the oil is Bhringraj, often referred to as the "king of herbs" for hair. Known for strengthening roots and supporting hair growth, it also helps reduce breakage and delays early greying by preserving the hair’s natural pigment. Brahmi works to calm the scalp and improve circulation, while Coconut Oil and Sesame Oil provide deep nourishment and hydration, helping to maintain a healthy scalp environment.

The oil is handcrafted using the Taila Pak Vidhi - a slow, traditional method of heating that helps retain the full potency of each ingredient. Whether your hair is dry, oily, damaged, or colour-treated, this oil is designed to support consistent care and long-term hair health.

Astha Katpitia, Head of Shankara India, shares, “For generations, oiling has been a trusted way to care for hair. With Shankara’s Brahmi Bhringraj Taila, we bring this practice back in a meaningful way, blending time-tested ingredients, potent botanicals and oils to strengthen hair, support growth, and make everyday haircare more mindful.”

Shankara’s Brahmi Bhringraj Taila is now available across platforms. Priced at INR 650 for 100 ml.

MS Dhoni brings his trusted legacy of making the most effective choices to Garnier Black Naturals’ with Sakshi Singh Dhoni
 

Just as Dhoni won over his fans who trust him to always make the right call with his unflappable leadership, candid speak, and ever-evolving looks, Garnier Black Naturals, too, has been touching the lives of millions of Indians for over a decade, becoming the secret to their natural-looking hair color. The campaign marks two of India’s most trusted brands – the Dhonis and Garnier Black Naturals – coming together to create the new badge of ‘T’rust.

It starts with Dhoni playfully teasing Sakshi about the secret to her beautiful hair, before he ultimately trusts her judgment when she confidently shares why she chose India’s most trusted hair color brand, leading to a shared moment of hair coloring. The ad ends with a nod to the iconic T-gesture for the DRS in cricket that was fondly called the ‘Dhoni Review System’ because his accuracy in summoning the review often led to results in his favor, magnifying the trust fans vested in him. Dhoni & Sakhi are now building the new symbol of ‘T’rust in hair colors with his endorsement of Garnier Black Naturals.

Sakshi and I are excited to be the faces of Garnier Black Naturals and are happy to share our secret for natural-looking hair color with everyone. This campaign gives us the opportunity to appear onscreen together after a long time, and we hope that our fans will enjoy it as much as we did filming it.”

Ajay Simha, General Manager, Garnier said, “Garnier Black Naturals is India's most trusted hair color brand. Through the years, we have grown to become the trusted secret for effective and natural-looking hair. We’re beyond excited to team up with MS Dhoni and Sakshi Singh Dhoni for this incredible partnership.

With their compelling and unique chemistry, there really is no better choice. Through this campaign, we’re creating new ways for consumers to connect with our brand and embrace the trust and authenticity that both Dhoni and Sakshi, as well as Garnier stand for!”
