Say hello to the newest brands on the block.
Secret Alchemist
Life may have slowed down due to COVID-19, but our minds are constantly racing, and a little pampering goes a long way. Cue Secret Alchemist, which offers a range of 100% organic and eco-friendly oils that soothe, nourish and heal through aromatherapy. Infused with ingredients like ylang ylang, lavender, rose, sandalwood and more, these elixirs do everything from battling hairfall to soothing parched skin. Need a quick mental getaway? Escape to your safe space with a drop of Secret Alchemist’s Calm essential oil.
D’You
“For the on-the-go busy roles we play in our lives, skincare should not be confusing and stress inducing,” says Shamika Haldipurkar, founder of D’You. Hands up if you agree! With the brand’s maiden product, Hustle, Haldipurkar struck gold, testing and re-testing a formula that now brings together 11 active ingredients into one power-packed serum, which also works as a hydrating toner and essence. This superstar can be used during the day or every night, and even makes a great primer under makeup. What’s not to love?
The Calico Guild
Home decor gets an effortless update with boutique design house The Calico Guild’s handcrafted treasures, which blend contemporary designs with indigenous craft techniques. Inspired by the Indus river and Harappan cities, TCG’s seemingly simple creations add a worldly charm to even the simplest of spaces. Give your living room an instant facelift with their Baana and Taana throws, or treat yourself to a selection of beautifully embroidered cushions.
