November 13, 2026: Where nature meets science, skincare takes a new approach to total skin health. Nykaa, India’s leading beauty and lifestyle company, announces the exclusive India launch of Grown Alchemist, the global skin and bodycare brand known for its pioneering approach to plant-powered formulations and cutting-edge biotechnology. The launch brings the brand’s cult-favourite Skin Defense Primer alongside its renowned skincare, hand and body collections to India‘s beauty consumers. As India‘s largest destination for beauty brands, Nykaa is a natural home for Grown Alchemist’s total skin health philosophy.
Founded in Melbourne in 2008, Grown Alchemist is built on the belief that our environment and lifestyle play an important role in skin health. Everyday stressors, including pollution and environmental aggressors, can contribute to oxidative stress, weakening the skin and compromising its natural balance. At the heart of the brand is a total skin health philosophy: keeping skin healthy, strong and balanced through potent plant-derived ingredients and advanced biotechnology. Its high-performance formulations are designed to help protect, strengthen and renew skin against the demands of modern urban living.
Grown Alchemist’s inherently genderless approach also reflects India‘s evolving beauty landscape, where skincare and self-care increasingly transcend traditional gender boundaries. Defined by minimalist, modern design and distinctive natural scent profiles, the brand offers an understated approach to beauty, appealing to today’s discerning consumers.
“We’re incredibly excited to bring Grown Alchemist to India through our exclusive partnership with Nykaa. As a retailer that shares our commitment to innovation, quality and high-performance beauty, Nykaa is the ideal partner to introduce our unique approach to total skin health to a new generation of Indian beauty enthusiasts.” Guillaume Geslin, General Manager EMEA, India + UK, Grown Alchemist
