Beauty

India's beauty shelf runs from the very old to the very new, and both ends are here. On one side there are the traditional preparations that have been made the same way for a long time: coconut and amla hair oils, ubtan and multani mitti, neem and turmeric. On the other there are the newer Indian brands making colour cosmetics and actives for Indian skin tones, which is often exactly what is hard to buy elsewhere.

Please read the ingredient list on the listing if you have sensitive skin or a known allergy, and patch test anything new. Natural does not mean harmless, and we would rather set that expectation honestly than sell you something that irritates your skin.

Questions people ask

How long will the product be good for?

Everything we send is well within its shelf life when it is dispatched. Delivery normally takes ten to fifteen business days, which leaves plenty of room on any product in this department.

Do you ship nail polish or perfume?

Generally not. Most perfumes and nail products count as flammable liquids and cannot go by air, so you will find very few of them listed here.

Will I be asked to pay customs or duties when it arrives?

No. Shipping and duties are both settled at checkout, so the total you see there is the total you pay. Nothing is collected at your door.

Which countries do you ship to?

We ship from India to the United States, Canada, the United Arab Emirates and Australia. Your shipping options and the final total are shown at checkout once you enter your address.

What if something arrives damaged?

Send us photographs at [email protected] within seven days of delivery and we will make it right with a full refund or a free replacement, whichever you prefer. You do not need to ship the item back.
