The market is flooded with spurious, synthetic skincare products with false claims lining the shelves of departmental stores in big cities. There was a gaping void in the skincare market of brands that prioritized the needs of their consumers with efficacy, quality, and purity at their core. India is a heaven of healing herbs, deep knowledge of botanicals, and luxury, and RAS aims to bring this to the world in its truest, most luxurious form. RAS was set up in a small town in Raipur, Chhattisgarh, and used the best organic ingredients, handpicked from its sustainable farms and partner farms ensuring that the potency of each botanical is kept intact. “RAS is a vertically integrated company, with everything happening under a single roof at its headquarters in Raipur. It

has leveraged its access to highquality botanicals with research at its DSIR-approved R&D Lab in Raipur, to create science backed skin care products that actually work. No outsourcing, no shortcuts, no adulteration. We're all about honesty and transparency. We strive to deliver what we promise”, speaks Shubhika Jain, Founder.
