The Couture of Skincare: A sensory revolution in vegan, zero-plastic skincare
What if skincare could feel like luxury without harming the planet? What if every texture — from butter to milk bath — delivered effect and enchantment? What if packaging wasn’t wasteful but refillable - thoughtful & lush? These are the questions that sparked Herbaria – Modern Botanicals, founded by Gunjan Agnihotri & Raghav Bhatia, rooted in the belief that real botanicals and modern science can coexist beautifully. Innovation, ethics, and sensory delight aren’t optional — they are the core.
The desire to feel celebrated transcends gender, and so does Herbaria. Each product is created to be universal in appeal, celebrating individuality while uniting everyone in the shared language of self-care. “Skincare isn’t a gendered choice, it’s a human need.” And yes, Herbaria made history by becoming the first Indian skincare brand to debut at New York Fashion Week, February 2025.
Bold Choices, Original Beauty
Sustainability — not an afterthought, but a statement. Herbaria doesn’t just reject single-use plastic; it reimagines the relationship between skin, scent,texture, and ritual. Every ingredient is carefully selected to deliver both visible results and a sensorial experience. Vivid colours come from food-grade pigments, while IFRA-compliant fragrances are memorable yet gentle. Thoughtful glass packaging, paired with refill options, honours the planet without compromising luxury. Vegan, cruelty-free, and designed to feel indulgent on every skin type, Herbaria proves that ethical choices can be beautiful ones.
The World of Herbaria
From sweet, fruity body oils to lush milk baths, from richly textured body scrubs to creamy shower butters, every Herbaria creation is made to delight the senses. Skincare that looks beautiful on your shelf, smells enchanting, and transforms daily routines into moments of self-love. Herbaria’s collections — whether Body Oils, Milk Baths, Soap Bars, Gift Boxes, or Refill Packs — are curated so you never compromise. You get sustainability without sacrificing scent, bold colours without unnecessary additives, ritual instead of routine. And the journey continues, with body mists, body
lotions, and a dedicated hair care plus skin care line soon joining the family.
New York Fashion Week
Marking a historic milestone, Herbaria became the first Indian skincare brand to debut at New York Fashion Week in February 2025. Though proudly Made in India, Herbaria is global in ambition. After NYFW, its ethos of luxury, sustainability, and innovation resonates beyond borders. Already present online worldwide and in premium Indian stores, Herbaria’s showcase proved it doesn’t follow self-care trends — it reshapes them, blending glass, botanicals, and a philosophy that honours both skin and planet.
The Journey Forward
For founders Gunjan Agnihotri and Raghav Bhatia, Herbaria has never been just about skincare — it’s about people. Their dream is that every Herbaria creation must bring a smile, sparks joy, and makes you feel seen, wanted, and loved. At its heart, Herbaria is not a routine but a celebration of self — skincare that cares for you and the earth alike. And this vision keeps evolving: more refillables, less waste, deeper botanicals, and unforgettable sensorial experiences — the promise of Herbaria’s tomorrow.
