Founded by a mother-daughter trio Mona, Naina, and Roshni — Hibiscus Monkey is India’s first-of-its-kind body specialist brand, offering face-grade, science-backed formulations for often-overlooked body skin concerns like strawberry skin, ingrown hair, and hyperpigmentation.
The brand was incubated at some of the world’s most prestigious institutions, including Harvard and MIT, where the duo conducted deep research with Indian women to identify a glaring gap in skincare: lack of high-quality, effective solutions for body skin.
1. Revolutionizing Body Skincare: Hibiscus Monkey is redefining the way we approach body skin care with its innovative, face-grade formulations that tackle concerns like strawberry skin, ingrown hair, body texture, and pigmentation.
2. Born out of Insightful Research: The brand’s founders, with their impressive backgrounds from Harvard, MIT, and Unilever, conducted extensive research with Indian women to uncover the glaring gap in effective, high-quality body skincare. This research-driven approach has enabled Hibiscus Monkey to create products that truly cater to the needs of Indian skin.
3. Clean, Sustainable, and Effective Formulations: Hibiscus Monkey’s products are dermatologically tested, plant-powered, and completely clean, free from harsh chemicals like synthetic fragrances, parabens, sulfates, and fillers. The brand’s formulations feature ingredients like squalane, hibiscus, probiotics, and gentle exfoliants like AHAs and BHAs.
Their portfolio includes cult favorites like the Velvet Spray In-Shower Body Moisturizer, Probiotics Body Wash, and Ingrown Hair Treatment. Their newest launch — Velvet Spray Squalene — mimics our skin’s natural sebum using olive-derived squalane, delivering long-lasting hydration with daily exfoliation thanks to AHAs and BHAs like Hibiscus-Rosa Sinensis and Salicylic Acid.
