Our Pick
EasyDew
Higher editor rating (8.7 vs 8)
Earth Rhythm
Earth Rhythm is what happens when a former banker (Harini Sivakumar) gets frustrated with the gap between safe, scientifically-formulated skincare and what's available in India. Founded in 2019 as an evolution of Soapworks India, every formula is created in-house by trained cosmetic chemists and independently clinically tested. The Phyto Ceramide Deep Moisturizer is the hero — five ceramides in a lightweight formula at under ₹300. ECOCERT and PETA certified, refillable pods to reduce packaging waste. Nykaa acquired the brand in August 2024, giving it mass distribution across India's largest beauty platform. Not the luxury play — the clean-science-at-pharmacy-pricing play.
Pros
- ✓ ECOCERT and PETA certified — genuine clean beauty credentials
- ✓ all formulas created in-house by cosmetic chemists
- ✓ refillable packaging and zero-waste innovations
- ✓ Nykaa acquisition ensures mass distribution across India
Cons
- ✗ relatively young brand — long-term track record still building
- ✗ some formulations are basic compared to Minimalist's actives range
- ✗ packaging is functional-clean, not aspirational
- ✗ refill pod system requires brand loyalty to justify
EasyDew
EasyDew is built on real medical chemistry — the brand was founded by Daewoong Pharmaceutical and uses pharmaceutical-grade EGF (Epidermal Growth Factor), an ingredient most OTC skincare can't legally formulate with at this concentration. Olive Young named them their #1 'slow aging' brand in 2025, and Marie Claire flagged them as one of the K-beauty brands to watch.
