Verdict: NOT ASSESSED

Cannot be independently assessed: no full INCI was obtainable for any product from any accessible source (brand site policy-blocked; retailer ingredient tabs are JavaScript-rendered and not present in static page content)

OwnershipSubject to a March 2026 Estee Lauder full buyout agreement, not yet confirmed closed.
Where madeIndia; manufacturing associated with Rishikesh (brand's founding location) per press profiles; not confirmed via brand's own site
PriceApproximately INR 300 (small soaps/lip balms) to INR 5,000+ (Soundarya 24K Gold skincare sets), based on retailer listings seen
Cruelty freeYes, brand is PETA-certified cruelty-free per multiple secondary sources; not independently confirmed on brand's own site
VeganNot brand-wide vegan: secondary sources note some products contain honey, beeswax or ghee; brand offers some vegan-labelled lines but this is not verified first-hand
OrganicNot verified; brand markets as 'natural'/Ayurvedic rather than certified-organic; no organic certification body confirmed
CertificationsPETA 'Animal Cruelty Free' certification (widely reported); brand describes formulations as Ayurveda-inspired; some third-party sources cite ISO 9001:2015 for manufacturing quality control, NOT independently verified on the brand's own site because that site could not be accessed (see note)
PackagingDescribed in secondary sources as using traditional/luxury glass packaging with 'eco-friendly' claims; not independently verified from brand's own site

Why there is no score: Site could not be read. No verdict is given. Neither a full ingredient read nor a check of the certifications against the certifiers own registers has been completed for this brand, so there is no basis for judging it either way. No score. The brand site disallows automated reading in its robots.txt, which was respected rather than circumvented, and no full ingredient list was obtainable from any retailer, so the natural share could not be measured.
Last checked 22 July 2026.

Not yet independently verified. The certifications listed for this brand are as the brand states them. They have not yet been checked against the certifiers own registers, so they should be read as a claim rather than a confirmed fact.

We read and categorise every ingredient for brands whose full list is published as readable text. This one could not be read automatically, so its formulas are not yet verified here. A complete ingredient list published in readable text is what makes a clean claim checkable.
