With organic care being one of the root causes behind the beautiful Indian woman, it is not tough to guess why the Indian cosmetic industry has become so huge. Though westernization has had a major influence on our beauty – inner and outer – some brands born in India have been setting landmarks. So much so, that they have considerably grown to rule the West too. Presenting 9 such brands which are gaining popularity among the NRI audience.
1. Fabindia
Launched in 2006, Fabindia is what it is today because of its policy of delivering quality in reasonable prices. Its rejuvenating soaps and shower gels are probably the best in the personal care space.
2. Himalaya Herbals
One of the pioneer cosmetic brands made in India, The Himalaya Drug Company also holds the record for being the oldest organic brand in the country. Try their skin care products and you’ll know why we’re all praises.
3. Shahnaz Husain
Shahnaz Husain is now the face of the herbal makeup range in the country. She brought a revolution when she launched her own Ayurvedic kajal. Go grab it via online shopping.
4. Nykaa
Founded by investment banker-turned-entrepreneur Falguni Nayar, Nykaa is your own one-stop beauty solution right at your fingertips. After a successful e-store, the brand came out with its own beauty range and we’ve never shopped another nailpaint ever since.
5. Lakme
The name is enough! From the everyday Indian woman to high-end celebrities, Lakmé Cosmetics has made a place in everyone’s vanity kit, thanks to its affordability. Not only in India, it is also counted as one of the top cosmetic brands in the world.
6. Forest Essentials
One of the first beauty brands to use age-old Ayurveda formulations, Forest Essentials has everything from babies to men and women. Not featuring it in our best cosmetic company list would be unjust.

8. Patanjali
