Our Commitment to Ingredient Transparency

A clear glass beaker holding a pure golden elixir, with a green leaf visible through it, symbolizing the BestIndian™ promise of ingredient transparency.

At BestIndian™, we believe that true luxury is rooted in absolute transparency. Your trust is our most valued asset, and we believe you have the right to know exactly what you are putting on your skin.

While the law does not require companies to disclose every ingredient in a formulation, we have chosen a higher standard. We proudly disclose 100% of the ingredients in every luxury we create, a practice we hope inspires the entire industry.


 

The "All Ingredients" Promise vs. "Key Ingredients"

 

Many brands choose to highlight only their beneficial "key ingredients" while omitting others under the guise of protecting "trade secrets." Often, the ingredients being hidden are preservatives, fillers, or synthetic compounds that can be harmful.

Our "All Ingredients" promise means we reveal everything, hiding nothing. We believe that profits can never take precedence over your health and well-being.


 

Our "Free-From" Guarantee

 

Our commitment to transparency also means we have a strict list of ingredients you will never find in a BestIndian™ formulation. We guarantee every luxury is free from:

  • Parabens: We do not use synthetic preservatives like parabens, which are known endocrine disruptors linked to health concerns.
  • Simple Alcohols (SD Alcohol/Ethanol): We avoid harsh, drying alcohols that can strip the skin's natural barrier and accelerate signs of aging.
  • Sulfates (SLS/SLES): Our cleansers are gentle and sulfate-free to protect your skin's natural moisture.
  • Phthalates, Mineral Oil & Harmful Chemicals: We are committed to non-toxic formulations, completely free from ingredients with questionable safety records.

 

The Power of Purity

 

By choosing BestIndian™, you are choosing a brand that practices absolute transparency. You can be confident that our luxuries are formulated with only the finest, safest, and most effective natural ingredients, allowing you to care for your skin with complete peace of mind.

Our USP

About BestIndian

Born at the intersection of Ayurveda and performance, BestIndian™ crafts natural luxury skincare, hair care, and alcohol-free perfume elixirs rooted in Himalayan botanicals and refined by modern science. Each product reflects our commitment to purity, transparency, and responsible Indian craftsmanship.

Where Truth Meets Luxury Beauty in India

The crisp air of the Himalayas. The whisper of ancient Ayurveda. The assurance of modern science.

This is where BestIndian™ was born — a world where beauty is honest, luxury is ethical, and every jar and bottle tells a story of integrity. Our range spans performance skincare, restorative hair care, and exquisite alcohol-free perfume elixirs — all crafted to deliver results while honouring purity, sustainability, and Indian heritage.


A Journey of Resilience & Reinvention

The authenticity of BestIndian™ is rooted in the journey of its founder, Nitin Sahrawat. After a prolific fifteen-year career as an actor in Mumbai, he chose to leave a life of glamour for one of purpose. He embarked on a path of reinvention, returning to his education to become a registered lawyer and dedicating himself to animal welfare and environmentalism. This brand is the culmination of that journey—a business built not on profit, but on a promise to create a medium for positive change.

Our Roots: Ayurveda, Himalayan Purity & Science

Our journey begins in the Himalayan foothills of Dehradun, where partner farmers cultivate potent botanicals in mineral-rich, organic soil. We blend centuries-old Ayurvedic knowledge from classical texts with modern formulation science to create trademarked bioactive formulas.

From Ancient Texts to Modern Research

Our formulations draw on Ayurvedic classics such as the Charak Samhita and Sushrut Samhita, then undergo modern R&D to translate botanical efficacy into reproducible, high-performance products.

Manufacturing & Quality

All BestIndian™ products are produced in a single, transparent supply chain. Our manufacturing facility is GMP, ISO 9001:2015 & COSMOS Organic certified, carbon-neutral and cruelty-free. These certifications apply to our facility and processes; they ensure rigorous quality control, sustainability, and traceability at scale.

  • Pure Formulas: No parabens, no sulfates, no random synthetic fillers, no hidden toxins.
  • Total Transparency: We disclose full ingredient lists so you can make informed choices.
  • Ethical by Design: 100% vegetarian formulations and cruelty-free practices where applicable.

  • Moviestar™ — Professional-grade skincare and hair care designed for actors and performers who demand camera-ready results without compromising skin health.

  • GlowPotion™ — Lightweight formulations for a natural, luminous finish.
  • Luxury of India™ — Celebrating India’s rare botanicals and artisanal traditions in high-performance formulations.

Each of these lines is trademarked and rooted in the same purity and manufacturing standards described above.


From Our Founder: A Promise of Authenticity

“As an actor for over fifteen years in Mumbai, I learned that the most powerful connection is built on authenticity. I created BestIndian™ because I wanted safe, honest performance-grade beauty that supports artists and everyday users alike.”

At BestIndian™, luxury and purity are not mutually exclusive—they are one and the same. Our brand was founded on a simple, yet profound principle: to create the world's finest cosmetics using only what nature provides and science validates. This is our unwavering promise to you.


Our journey doesn’t begin in a boardroom; it begins in the Himalayan foothills and in the ancient texts of Ayurveda. We believe that true beauty is a reflection of holistic wellness, and that what you put on your body is as important as what you put in it.

That is why every product bearing the BestIndian™ name adheres to the most stringent standards of quality and safety, ensuring that you are using formulations that are not only effective but are fundamentally good for your skin, your body, and the planet.

What "Natural & Organic" Means to Us

In today's market, the words "natural" and "organic" are often used loosely. For BestIndian™, these are not marketing terms; they are the pillars of our identity, validated by the most rigorous global certifications.

The BestIndian™ "No" List: Commitment to Your Safety

True luxury is not about what is added, but what is purposefully left out. We have a strict and non-negotiable list of ingredients you will never find in our formulations. This isn't just a list; it is our pledge to protect your well-being.

We consciously formulate without:

  • Parabens: Often used as preservatives, but we opt for safer, natural alternatives.
  • Sulfates (SLS/SLES): Harsh chemical detergents that can strip the skin and hair of their natural oils. We use gentle, plant-derived cleansers instead.
  • Formaldehyde & Formaldehyde-Releasers: We strictly avoid these preservatives linked to skin irritation and health concerns.
  • Phthalates: Often hidden in synthetic fragrances, which we never use. Our scents come purely from natural essential oils and botanicals.
  • Mineral Oil & Petrolatum: Petroleum by-products that can be contaminated and offer no real nourishment to the skin. We use pure, nutrient-rich plant oils.
  • Diethanolamine (DEA): We avoid this foaming agent in favor of gentle, natural alternatives.
  • Triclosan: We refuse to use this antibacterial agent due to concerns about its long-term effects.
  • BHA & BHT: Synthetic antioxidants that have no place in our pure, natural formulations.

At BestIndian™, ingredient transparency is paramount. We believe you have the right to know exactly what you are putting on your skin. That’s why we proudly disclose our full ingredient lists, allowing you to make informed choices with absolute confidence.

This is our definition of luxury. This is the BestIndian™ Purity Standard.
