LOVE, INDUS: THE NEW ERA OF LUXURY SKINCARE India’s Rare Riches + NYC’s Transformative Tech = Potent Potions
Love, Indus is an experiential, opulent skincare and wellness brand born at the intersection of culture, chemistry, and craft. Our philosophy bridges centuries-old rituals from the Indian subcontinent with cutting-edge innovation, creating powerful offerings that reclaim and reimagine ancient beauty practices.
THE PHILOSOPHY: INDIAN BEAUTY 2.0 While Indian-inspired beauty has often been limited to a single Ayurvedic lens, Love, Indus is pioneering Indian Beauty 2.0. This movement moves beyond the "turmeric-and-coconut oil" playbook to celebrate the diverse, deeply regional micro-traditions and "forgotten" regional rituals of the subcontinent. We shift the narrative from simple revival to a bold reinvention—marrying rare minerals and botanicals with the precision of New York’s biotechnology.
SIGNATURE INNOVATIONS & POTENT INGREDIENTS We create high-performance formulas by fusing heritage ingredients with lab-designed, clean actives like biodesigned collagen and hyaluronic acid. ● Liquefied Gold Muga Silk: Known as the "Silk that works like Steel," this rare ingredient is liquefied to help lift, firm, and restore "snap" to fragile skin. ● Copper-Crusted Silk Cocoons: An innovative, ultra-gentle exfoliation method inspired by ancient rituals to buff skin to a smooth, refined finish. ● Silver Tips Imperial Tea: Harvested from the Darjeeling hills that has 52x more antioxidants than blueberries - this tea has been biotransformed to harness its power for skin intense resilience and radiance. ● Burmese Thanaka: A storied tradition used to brighten, tighten, and specifically address "peach fuzz" (fine facial hair).
BRAND HIGHLIGHTS ● Retail Momentum: The first luxury South Asian skincare brand to launch on QVC. The Amrutini® Luminosity Dewdrops Serum sold out in all five appearances. ● Award-Winning Innovation: The Freedom of Expression Line Limiter is a targeted treatment described by editors as “Botox in a tube” and a “Magic Eraser” for smile and lip lines, ● Outstanding Clinical Results: Clinically proven to significantly reduce lines, improve skin elasticity and hydration, and strengthen the skin barrier in 4 weeks. ● The "Pro" Choice: Featured in Vogue, Byrdie, Refinery29, Forbes, and InStyle; used backstage by Emmy-winning makeup artists and celebrity facialists.
WHERE TO FIND US: Love, Indus is available at prestigious global retailers and five-star wellness destinations: ● Retail: Macy’s, Neiman Marcus, QVC, Ulta ● Luxury Spas: The Four Seasons, St. Regis, The Hermitage, and The Biltmore, among others
ABOUT THE FOUNDER Surbhee Grover grew up immersed in India’s regional beauty rituals. After starting her career launching brands like L’Oréal in India, she moved to New York and spent the next 15+ years leading strategy for global luxury icons at Booz & Co. With an MBA from NYU Stern, Surbhee created Love, Indus to move the conversation beyond “Ayurveda-only” and spotlight the depth, diversity, and modern power of South Asian beauty. She crafts culture-forward skincare for the modern high-achiever—delivering high-performance formulas that restore skin’s strength and resilience without sacrificing the luxury of the ritual.
Founding Story
Founder, Surbhee Grover was born in Kolkata in India’s East. She studied in Delhi in the North, and spent summers with her grandparents in Ajmer in the West. At the very dawn of her career, Surbhee found herself working for India’s largest hair care brand making sales calls in villages across the South. She lived and breathed the regions’ diversity over those formative years.
The next stage of her life brought her to New York where she completed her Masters from NYU Stern, and then joined Booz & Co, a global consulting firm where she led strategy and innovation initiatives for clients in the consumer space. Over the years, Surbhee worked with some of the leading luxury goods brands in Europe and North America.
With her base in New York – a city that heralds many trends – she noticed how several Indian concepts, such as yoga, and kitchen staples like turmeric and coconut oil, had found their way into the daily lives and lattes of the West. She then realized that skincare and wellness concepts from the Indian subcontinent that achieved some recognition globally, barely scratched the surface of all the regional riches she had grown up experiencing. Her passion to bring this to the Western world sparked the inspiration to start Love, Indus.
