Beauty brand La Pink tackles skin pH with microplastic-free breakthrough
MUMBAI: India’s beauty landscape is getting a pH-tastic makeover. La Pink, the country’s first beauty brand boasting 100 per cent microplastic-free formulations, has launched its #InsideYourSkin campaign, promising to decode the mysteries of Indian skin.
Founder Nitin Jain isn’t mincing words: “We’re not just selling products; we’re starting a skin health movement.”
Inspired by his wife, Jain’s brand is taking on the beauty industry’s dirty little secret – microplastics.
The brand’s hero lineup includes face wash, toner, serum, sunscreen, and lip balm, packed with globally sourced ingredients that sound more like a gourmet menu than skincare: white haldi from India, cactus flower from Australia, and Kakadu plum from the US.
” Maintaining healthy skin is imperative,” Jain quips. ” I feel that if we are able to raise awareness about how important it is to understand how pH levels function Inside our skin, it’ll be easier to understand how our skin responds better. “
The products promise to balance pH levels, tackle pigmentation, control oil, and hydrate – all while being kinder to the planet.
The #InsideYourSkin campaign is more than marketing – it’s a rallying cry for skincare that understands the unique needs of Indian skin, says the beauty brand.

Lotus Herbals unveils HydroActivated sunscreen with high-impact campaign
Harnaaz Sandhu fronts digital push spotlighting breakthrough sun care tech
MUMBAI: Lotus Herbals has rolled out a high-decibel marketing campaign to introduce what it calls India’s first hydro-activated sunscreen, aiming to reshape how consumers think about sun protection.
At the centre of the launch is the Safe Sun HydroActivated Sunscreen SPF 50+ PA+++, a formulation built on a patent-pending Hydrosome Technology that activates on contact with moisture. Unlike conventional sunscreens that can weaken with sweat, this product is designed to do the opposite, boosting protection when the skin is exposed to water or perspiration.
The campaign is led by Harnaaz Sandhu and is being amplified across OTT platforms, social media and outdoor locations in key metro cities. The brand film takes a light, relatable approach to everyday sunscreen struggles such as uneven application and fading protection, while positioning the new product as a reliable, high-performance alternative for active lifestyles.
Beyond its core technology, the sunscreen features next-generation UV filters and Edelweiss Flower Extract, offering hydration alongside protection. The formula claims up to 10 hours of water resistance and even, all-round defence against sun exposure and tanning, targeting consumers who want both skincare and performance in one product.
Speaking about the launch, Lotus Herbals chairman and managing director Nitin Passi said, “We are excited to launch India’s first sunscreen with hydroactivated technology which is our most innovative product launch. This isn’t just a sunscreen; it’s a technological breakthrough that utilises a novel manufacturing process. We’ve created a product that stays invisible on the skin yet becomes a performance powerhouse when the user is most active.”
Sharing her experience, Lotus Herbals brand ambassador Harnaaz Sandhu said, “I am thrilled to be associated with Lotus Herbals Safe Sun for their new sun protection campaign. In my world, there is no room for shortcuts, and I need functional and reliable products that work as hard as I do. The hydroactivated sunscreen is a game-changer because it blends with my skin and protects me better when I’m pushing my limits.”
The campaign is being distributed across platforms including JioStar connected TV integrations and ZEE5, along with television placements such as Sa Re Ga Ma Pa in West Bengal. A large influencer push involving over a thousand creators, along with in-store branding and retail activations, is also part of the rollout.
With a blend of science-led positioning and mass-market storytelling, Lotus Herbals is betting on innovation to stand out in the crowded sun care segment, hoping its moisture-powered promise strikes the right chord with today’s always-on consumers.
