For over two decades, I helped shape India’s lingerie industry — where comfort meets skin. My product design philosophy was always about more than fabric and fit — it was about helping people feel at home in their bodies.

But about almost a decade ago, that journey turned inward.

My own body began to shift — not just in size, but in quiet, unsettling ways we don’t often talk about. PCOS, stress, and age brought flare-ups, dryness, and a sense of disconnection I couldn’t ignore. We’re quick to update our wardrobe as our bodies change — but how often do we pause to ask: what does my skin need now?

I couldn’t find skincare that truly met me there — that felt right for maturing, melanin-rich, sensitive skin. Skin that was evolving overnight, and asking for more in fewer steps.

So I stopped scratching the surface. I went deeper. I went beneath the surface.

I trained as a certified skincare formulator. For the last 5 years, I studied ingredients — not just what they are, but how they feel, how they heal, and how they honour the skin’s quiet intelligence. I tested global formulations, explored Ayurvedic rituals, and worked with modern actives. Over time, this became more than a skill. It became a way to care — with intention, clarity, and deep respect.

This is where it all came together — the science of skin health and the sensory wisdom of comfort.

This is where The Skin Beneath was born.

A skincare approach that feels complete on its own. Formulas that are gentle, intelligent, and effective —without needing five other products to make them work.

Products that feel good and do good. Inclusive, considered, and consciously made for evolving skin — across gender, tone, and texture.

No harsh shortcuts. No surface-level promises.
Just slower rituals. Honest formulations. Skin health and emotional ease.

The Skin Beneath is my vision, made real.
