A current hot fave and the second step in a double cleansing routine after a cleansing oil, this can be used on its own as well. A unique powder-to-foam facial cleanser, it gently exfoliates and hydrates the skin for a smooth complexion. This powder’s lightweight, water-free formula is just so handy for those busy sightseeing vacay days when you need to get the grime off! Adding just a few drops of water to it creates a luxurious foaming lather. It is gentle enough for daily use and is suitable for all skin types, especially oily and combination skin.

Let’s face it, we’re not going anywhere without our fragrances. This is where solid perfumes come to the rescue. The Sunehre Din or ‘Radiant Days’ Solid Perfume is a delicate daytime fragrance that contains the top note of rose absolute freshly plucked from the gardens of Kannauj. Kashmiri saffron and sparkling marigold form its heart notes that add a sweetness to the fragrance. It leaves a bright and refreshing effect on the senses and its long-lasting aroma of essential oils leaves the skin scented for hours. The perfume is 100% natural and paraben-free, and our favourite current word, leakproof!
