PhilosophyIndian indie skincare for the actives-curious millennial — chemistry-led, social-friendly.Liah Yoo's "press reset" philosophy: strip skincare back to what the barrier actually needs.

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

Krave Beauty

Liah Yoo built Krave Beauty the way you wish more brands would — with a skincare-fatigued YouTube audience in mind, a commitment to stripping back rather than piling on, and one genuine cult hit in Great Barrier Relief. Small catalog, specific mission, loyal fans. Not for people who want a 10-step system. Very much for people whose skin has been yelled at for too long.
