premium skincare
Rooshy Roy, founder of AAVRANI a premium skincare company that reimagines India’s ancient beauty rituals, while harnessing the power of potent, all-natural ingredients. Their mission is to align inner confidence with outer radiance and empower women to embrace their all natural beauty, challenge expectations and redefine beauty standards at large.
Rooshy Roy worked in finance for six years before going to business school and reinventing her life. When she decided to start a skincare business she had to Google how to get started, and since then she’s worked to fuse the Indian beauty rituals she learned from her family with the modern day American skincare routine.
AAVRANI is her way to combine the two parts that make her whole. But it’s also her journey back to her roots; to re-discover and appreciate their intricacies. Her vision is for all women who struggle with their dualities to embrace them instead. To celebrate their conflicted, immense, breathtakingly unique identities that make them who they are. AAVRANI honors beauty and celebrates duality by uniting worlds: clinically-proven, modern-day routine and ancient, all-natural rituals.
