As the world stands witness to the meteoric rise of the Indian beauty industry, we asked 22 beauty enthusiasts to share their favourite products

It is truly a remarkable time for the Indian beauty industry. Not only have we seen a surge in boutique labels reviving Ayurvedic recipes to treat skin and hair, many up-and-coming brands are also blending science-backed ingredients with age-old wisdom to create one-of-a-kind formulas. Given that a more sustainable way of life has become the rallying call, Indian brands are making a strong case for themselves, with certified ingredients and clean practices. Eager shoppers will discover that beauty shelves are lined with these options...a reality that could lead to some confusion. We asked Bazaar contributors to share their favourite beauty products, tried and tested by them, for you to consider and make space for in your beauty cabinet.

Indulgeo Essentials Rose Gold Daily Oil

“I love the passion that goes into creating Indulgeo Essentials products. Their essential oils are among the best I have used—they refresh and recharge the skin instantly. Their Rose Gold Daily Oil is my go-to because it is blended with 24-karat gold flakes. This oil adds a glow, hydrates the skin, and preps it for make-up. My skin looks great even if I wear just this one product.”
