Our Pick
Kahi
Higher editor rating (8.6 vs 8.4)
Foxtale
Foxtale is the new-wave Indian indie skincare brand built around active ingredients, transparent labeling, and Instagram-friendly packaging. The Vitamin C Day Serum and Niacinamide are the heroes — they trade on the same chemistry-led energy as The Ordinary but with formulations tuned for Indian skin and Indian climate. Mid-tier pricing, distribution heavy on D2C and Nykaa.
Pros
- ✓ Active-ingredient led formulations
- ✓ Strong Instagram presence
- ✓ Chemistry-transparent labeling
- ✓ Affordable indie pricing
Cons
- ✗ Newer brand — limited heritage
- ✗ D2C-only distribution
- ✗ Range is still small
Kahi
Kahi is the K-beauty brand built around a single product that turned into a Korean kitchen-table essential — the Multi Balm. A solid stick balm formulated for face, hands, lips, and dry-elbow rescue, beloved by Korean actress Kim Go-eun and quietly recommended by every K-beauty fan you've ever met. The brand has expanded since, but the multi-balm is still the entry point.
Pros
- ✓ Multi-use stick format
- ✓ Celebrity-backed credibility
- ✓ Affordable enough for daily
- ✓ Cult Olive Young follow-up product
Cons
- ✗ Single-hero-product brand
- ✗ Limited skincare-treatment range
