Frequently asked

Beauty & Personal Care, in plain terms.

Are creator partnerships essential in beauty?

Effectively yes. It is where the category is discovered and evaluated.

How do we substantiate efficacy claims?

Clinical or consumer testing appropriate to the claim, with scope stated. Unqualified efficacy claims are the enforcement risk.

Regional or national creators?

Both. Regional-language beauty creators are the fastest-growing and most underpriced segment.

Ingredient specificity beats benefit claims

Indian beauty consumers have become notably ingredient-literate. Vague benefit language now underperforms specific formulation storytelling.

Dermatologist validation is the credibility layer

Expert endorsement carries weight the brand's own voice cannot, particularly for actives and treatment claims.

Discovery happens through creators

Category discovery has moved almost entirely to creators. Brands relying on paid search are capturing demand others created.
