    Mumbai: Vanity Wagon, India’s pioneering clean beauty marketplace, commemorates its fifth anniversary in September. Since its inception in 2018, Vanity Wagon has achieved outstanding growth and transformative accomplishments in the realm of clean beauty. From a modest beginning with a portfolio of ten brands, Vanity Wagon has now flourished to encompass an impressive range of 300 sustainable and toxin-free brands, embodying the epitome of growth and diversity in the clean beauty landscape.

    Vanity Wagon co-founder Prateek Ruhail said, “On this momentous occasion of our five-year anniversary, I am overwhelmed with gratitude for all the challenges we have faced, the milestones we have achieved, and the incredible team that has stood by our side every step of the way. From the humble beginnings of a mere idea, to where we stand today as a thriving company, it is a testament to the unwavering dedication and relentless pursuit of excellence that has defined our journey.”

    Further, Vanity Wagon founder and co-CEO Naina Ruhail adds, “This five-year journey wouldn’t have been possible without our talented team and our loyal consumers, who have been there with us through thick and thin and are our constant pillars of support. As we reflect on the past, let us also look to the future with excitement and anticipation, knowing that there are still countless opportunities waiting for us to seize. Together, we will continue to innovate, disrupt, and make a lasting impact in our industry. Here’s to the remarkable journey we have had so far, and the boundless possibilities that lie ahead.”

    Vanity Wagon prioritizes environmental sustainability at every level by carefully choosing eco-friendly brand partners and making sure that the goods are produced ethically without using any hazardous chemicals or testing on animals. Recycled packaging has helped in reducing our carbon footprint. In addition, collaborations with companies that share our commitment to sustainability have been crucial to bringing about constructive change in the sector in the past years.

    The brand has introduced cutting-edge technologies that streamline both front-end and back-end operations, which has helped enhance the customer experience in selecting toxin-free and natural beauty products. Thus, the brand has achieved T+1 Delivery in the Delhi NCR region for 90 per cent of its orders. Embodying inclusivity and excellence in serving consumers, Vanity Wagon has seamlessly incorporated over 15 K-beauty brands into its e-commerce platform.

    Launched India’s first and only clean beauty pop-up Mix It Up With Vanity Wagon that offers a platform for clean beauty brands and emerging entrepreneurs to talk about clean beauty, crucial ingredients, and the valuable need to adopt a sustainable yet clean beauty regime. By setting up physical pop-up stores inside prominent malls in Delhi, Chandigarh, and other cities, Vanity Wagon has deliberately extended its presence offline.
