The British brand, established in 2022, relies on a proprietary tri-ceramide complex and squalane to support acne-prone and mature skin through nourishing moisturizers, toners, cleansers, and serums. Meanwhile, the Indian brand, founded in 2018, delivers lightweight formulations and sensorially pleasing sunscreens tailored best for balanced, combination, and normal skin types.
