The beauty and wellness industry is highly competitive, with different trademarks struggling for market share in terms of innovative products, quality products as well as promotional techniques. Increasing customer knowledge about the harmful substances found in conventional make-up has stimulated the demand for natural, vegan, and cruelty-free cosmetics. Regulatory guidelines and shifting customer tastes cause companies to focus on transparency, sustainability, and health advantages.

However, shoppers face different problems, such as exposure to hazardous components, lack of brand transparency, and absence of suitable merchandise for sensitive skin, leading to poor consumer experience due to skin issues or problems or ill-health risks associated with harmful chemicals in such items. Chipmunk is India’s first-ever makeup brand that redesigned beauty by focusing on skin health. It offers premium products by not compromising safety or efficacy through gender-neutral gentle and preventive cosmetics catering to everyone’s needs.

Chipmunk was founded by Reema Dube Yerawar, a seasoned Cosmetic Technologist and former HUL R&D scientist, driven by her firsthand experience with sensitive skin and traditional makeup’s damaging effects. The brand, born from the necessity for a Makeup Detox, prioritizes skin health with gentle, high-performance formulations, aiming to make makeup a part of the health and wellness routine. The firm undertook the challenge of creating high-performance makeup that is waterproof, smudge-proof, and transfer-proof without harsh ingredients.

Committed to vegan, cruelty-free standards, Chipmunk sourced certified, high-quality ingredients globally, ensuring compatibility with all skin types while maintaining ethical integrity. “The company embraced gender-neutral packaging, celebrated individuality, and ensured ingredient transparency”, says Reema Dube Yerawar, Co-Founder.
