Scentials products are today available across large format retail stores such as Shoppers Stop, Lifestyle, Health & Glow and More Supermarkets, and online through Amazon.in. The company said it will bring its products to more stores in the near future, without disclosing any names.
“Scentials is building a unique beauty brands studio platform that combines fast paced innovations across beauty categories with endorsements from top tier Indian celebrities in sports, films and entertainment,” said Pawan Chaturvedi, Investment Director at Unilever Ventures. “The celebrity partnerships provide massive traditional and social media reach driving brand salience.”
