Lavanya, a handamade, natural skincare brand from Uttarakhand, came into existence due to the skin allergy faced by Megha Maheshwari, a hotelier and HR professional having worked with Taj group of hotels. Her Mother in Law, Shiv Shakti Bhatnagar came to her rescue with natural homemade treatment based on Ayurveda.
“This sparked the idea of using our OWN heritage of Grand mother’s & Great Grand mother’s secrets of natural & homemade beauty recipes. Reviving forgotten recipes gave birth to Lavanya in October 2020”, says Megha
All its products are made of 100% Natural. Preservative- Free, Paraben-Free, Chemical Free, Cruelty-Free and Alcohol Free. And the raw materials are sourced under personal supervision & handpicked by Himalayan village women in Uttrakahand. These are then grinded in water mill (gharrat)
