    Nat Habit Unveils New Chapter of ‘Breathe Life Into Your Beauty’ campaign

    Mumbai – Nat Habit unveiled the next phase of its “Breathe Life Into Your Beauty” campaign. In this chapter, Nat Habit unleashes the power of  fresh Ayurveda with modern storytelling and latest technology to help consumers unlock the full potential of ayurvedic  beauty solutions. The campaign weaves together two central elements: collaborations with artists and creators across diverse fields and the launch of VeDHA, a tool for skin- health assessment.

    As part of its launch campaign, Nat Habit has joined forces with content creators Kirti Bhoutika, Upasana Madan, and Prakriti, each bringing her own craft and perspective from diverse backgrounds—like dance, culinary arts, and travel. These creators embody the campaign’s philosophy of infusing life and energy into beauty. Their stories bring forth a unique perspective to the narrative, showcasing how Nat Habit’s meticulous approach from ingredient selection to controlled processes aligns with their own attention to detail, finesse and habitual practice of their craft that culminates into breathtaking expertise. Each of these women—whether performing, creating, or inspiring—has perfected her craft with dedication and precision, embodying the same authenticity that Nat Habit champions in its fresh Ayurveda offerings. Their journeys highlight the power of pure, carefully crafted solutions that keep them radiant and resilient.

    Among the content creators, Dancer and Artist Upasana Madan shared her thoughts on the campaign’s resonance with her own art: “For me, dance is about channelling energy and bringing each movement to life. With Nat Habit’s ‘Breathe Life Into Your Beauty’ campaign, I see the same philosophy being applied to beauty. My performance is an artistic representation of how Nat Habit’s natural formulations rejuvenate our routines, working deeply to nourish and enhance from within, harmonizing with our natural rhythm for glowing, healthy skin.”

    Culinary master and MasterChef India season five winner Kirti Bhoutika also shared her perspective: “Fermentation is such an incredible process—whether in my kitchen or in Nat Habit’s formulations. It breaks down nutrients for better absorption, making the simplest ingredients truly impactful. Just as my kanji brings life to the gut, Nat Habit’s Navdha Shampoo uses fermentation to enhance bio-availability, nourishing hair right from the roots.”

    “In today’s beauty landscape, there’s often a gap in understanding just how powerful natural ingredients can be when used with precision,” said Nat Habit co-founder Swagatika Das. “VeDHA is designed to bridge this gap, placing Ayurveda in a scientific context, in a language that the consumer understands, breaking away from the traditional narrative of Ayurveda. Our aim is to reinterpret Ayurveda for the Indian consumer, who is rooted yet modern. This reinterpretation is also reflected in the creators we are collaborating with – a kaleidoscope of pure art and modern lifestyle that come together to reflect the essence of Nat Habit”.

    Chief marketing officer Ankita Srivastava stated, “The second phase of “Breathe Life Into Your Beauty” campaign marries the art of beauty and the science of Ayurveda. Each creator’s story underscores the meticulous attention to detail that goes into their craft as also into every Nat Habit product, breathing life into beauty – a brand – trust building exercise through story telling. On the other hand VeDHA is a demonstration of skin health and cellular age that weaves back into the central idea of fresh Ayurveda working effectively at the cellular level.”

    Commenting on the announcement, Founder Swagatika Das said, ‘’Nat Habit was founded with a vision to make true & wholesome natural care available to all. We have been doing that with Fresh products from our Ayurvedic Kitchen. Over the years, we have witnessed great support from our investors who have helped us deliver high-quality, sustainable, and truly natural personal care products. Natural or ayurvedic care is not merely a trend for us; it is a lifestyle or habit we would like consumers to adopt for a safer, longer and happier life. With the recent Series B funding, we aim to double down on our efforts in terms of building a stronger community and making larger strides towards making Nat Habit the go-to brand for every Indian’s daily personal care needs.’’

Fireside will continue to support such visionary purposes & entrepreneurship – it also strongly aligns with our fund’s purpose of building responsible brands that do good for the environment and people.”

    The Industry and Business Model:

    Over the last five to five years the BPC industry in India has seen a significant shift towards clean and natural ingredients owing to the increasing consumer awareness and demand. According to Statista, India’s Natural Cosmetics market is projected to generate a revenue of Rs US $0.90bn by 2023 and is anticipated to experience an annual growth rate of 3.52 per cent (CAGR 2023-2028). This, in turn, has given rise to homegrown clean ingredients-led brands like Nat Habit that are committed to making fresh, 100 per cent natural personal care products more accessible to consumers across the country.

    Since its inception in 2019, Nat Habit has been committed to making true natural personal care accessible to every Indian household. With a strong R&D backing, NatHabit creates proprietary formulations out of fresh ingredients such as raw milk, fruits & herbs. The products are made and shipped fresh daily, straight from its Ayurvedic kitchen. Nat Habit beats all levels of natural. It is one of the rarest brands to serve NOT just natural but 100 per cent natural personal care. Strong founder commitment, own R&D & own manufacturing allow for such high-quality servings. This in return breaks the clutter of BPC and brings immense brand love and cheer from users. Nat Habit today serves nearly 14 lakh customers, ships 15,000 units per day, and has 35 product lines. More than 70 per cent of its users hail from tier one and tier two cities while the brand sees a good 30 per cent demand from tier three cities and beyond.

    Next Steps:

    Over the next 24 months, Nat Habit envisions expanding its product portfolio which currently includes Malais (moisturisers), Hair Oils, Facewash, Ubtans and more. There will be channel expansion into offline and a substantial focus on creating more brand awareness. Additionally, approximately two mn USD will be used to give exit to angels and very early-stage investors – nearly 4.5 to five times returns over four years.

    Past Funding:

    In 2022, Nat Habit secured $4 million in its Series A round, spearheaded by Fireside Ventures, renowned for its focus on consumer brands. It also has Peak XV Partners as an investor. Past funding has helped the brand grow more than four times in revenue, improve its reach in marketplaces, invest in R&D and expand its portfolio of products in the last two years.
