With all the rising beauty products and influencers in society, we don’t need an occasion to celebrate representation among beauty entrepreneurs.
However, we should definitely have a toast, commemorating the rising behemoth of Asian entrepreneurs in the beauty industry prodigiously!
The beginning of each of their products holds a special tale of their very own, inspired through culture, beliefs and personal experiences in combating skin related problems.
So, let’s take this moment to put a spotlight on some of these Asian- founded products that are absolutely clean, vegan and cruelty-free!

Michelle was laid off in 2008, amid a bankruptcy at her previous firm, and went to work for her father’s pharmaceutical company.
Being deeply fascinated by the process of material procurement and product creation, the proud owner of Ranavat was enthralled by the prospect of integrating the technical aspects of sourcing with her passion for skincare.
That inspired her to create this royal natural ayurvedic skincare range, Ranavat that carries her maiden surname. Ranavat is a skincare line based on Ayurvedic philosophy, but with a modern twist.
