1. XO Curls
Straight hair looks kempt, neat, and sometimes even dull. So why go for a regular hairstyle when your curls can make you stand out? But managing curls is not easy, and no one knows it better than XO Curls. A brand fully dedicated to making curly hair more manageable and flauntable, XO Curls offers products formulated to address the challenges faced by all curly girlies. Tangles, frizz, roughness, and dryness are only a few of the many problems these products tackle with care and nourishment. Gift these products to someone you know who spends hours controlling their curls.
If XO Curls’ range of products confuses you, start with their new XO Curls 5-combo curl therapy created especially for Indian wavy, curly, frizzy, or dry curls. This curly hair care combo includes pre-wash oil, shampoo, conditioner, leave-in conditioner, and definition gel. It ensures that combing curly hair is no longer time-consuming, painful, and difficult.
2. Celesti Skin
Remember how you have to watch your tone to avoid offending a person with a sensitive heart? Similarly, brands have to be extremely cautious when formulating products meant for sensitive skin to avoid causing irritation or redness. Celesti Skin is aware of this predicament and has developed products to make skincare easy for everyone. Their products are vegan and do not contain harsh chemicals that can hurt sensitive skin. And the best thing about them is that they are an environmentally friendly brand that packages products in biodegradable packaging.
For your bestie who loves to party but hates the dry, dull face next morning (thank you, late nights!), the Lunar Night Out Cream is a great gift. Its light gel-cream formula seeps deep into the skin, and as you catch up on your beauty sleep, it provides ample hydration to repair and revitalize the skin barrier.
3. Raw Beauty
There is no common skin trouble that nature cannot heal. And Raw Beauty is here to revive and popularize the miracles of natural, organic skin products. Exploring the length and breadth of India, these products are created using natural ingredients from different parts of the country. So, the rose water in their brightening face wash is made using the best roses sourced from fields in Rajasthan, while the clove and cinnamon in their tooth powder are derived from the best spice plantations in Kerala. They even have products formulated specially for pregnant women. So, don’t forget to check out some great products for your expecting gal pal.
For a friend who has vowed to go all natural in her skincare regime, you can choose something from the Raw Beauty range. You can try their best-selling hand and foot cream, Mulayam. Not only does it soften rough skin, but also slows early signs of aging. Remind her not to give in to the temptation of licking the cream off her finger because of its sweet, natural smell.
4. Blend It Raw Apothecary

Blend It Raw Apothecary offers all-natural ingredients that skincare enthusiasts will love. As a brand, it has pledged to meet the need and growing demand for natural products so you get the best of your DIYs.
Rosemary is a herb that is believed to promote hair growth. If any of your besties are having a tough time controlling hair loss, you can gift them Blend It Raw Apothecary’s Rosemary Essential Oil, one of their most-loved and demanded products.
