India, 03 June, 2025: In a world where “clean beauty” often comes with hefty price tags and complex ingredient lists, Sparsh Herbals is quietly rewriting the skincare narrative—one natural, vegan product at a time. Behind this emerging Indian brand is Dr. Divya Bhatia, a former medical researcher turned entrepreneur, who began her journey not in a lab, but in her own kitchen.
Plagued by dull, sensitive skin and disappointed by chemical-laden products offering only short-term relief, Dr. Bhatia turned to Ayurveda and began experimenting with natural ingredients like neem, aloe vera, banana peels, and pomegranate extract. “I didn’t want to just mask skin issues—I wanted to heal them,” she says. That mission became Sparshanand, a Sanskrit-inspired name symbolizing touch and bliss, which has now evolved into the growing brand Sparsh Herbals.
Unlike many beauty startups, Sparsh Herbals was built without the backing of venture capital. Instead, it relied on the potency of its formulations, grassroots word-of-mouth, and a growing customer base on Amazon. “We didn’t want gimmicks,” says Dr. Bhatia. “We focused on what Indian skin truly needs—simple, powerful, plant-based solutions.”
Each Sparsh product contains only the essentials—no synthetic additives, no parabens, and no artificial fragrances. The approach is rooted in traditional wisdom, yet crafted with modern skin concerns in mind. As awareness around clean beauty and sustainability rises, particularly among urban consumers aged 22 to 50, Sparsh Herbals has found its niche.
The benefits of plant-based skincare are well documented: aloe vera and shea butter for deep hydration, neem and ashwagandha for antioxidant protection, and coconut oil for barrier repair. But for the eco-conscious consumer, the appeal is also ethical—vegan formulations, cruelty-free testing, and minimal environmental impact.
As more Indian shoppers compare ingredient lists, follow Instagram skincare influencers, and demand long-term results without harmful side effects, Sparsh Herbals offers an alternative rooted in transparency and tradition. “We believe skincare should be both gentle and effective,” says Dr. Bhatia. “With Sparsh, you’re not just choosing natural—you’re choosing what’s right for your skin and the planet.”
So, if you’ve been stuck in the cycle of harsh skincare that doesn’t heal, perhaps it’s time to go green, go clean—and rediscover the healing power of plants.
