Mumbai: Joy Personal Care, an Indian skincare brand from the aegis of RSH Global has announced a new campaign for its winter-care product Honey & Almonds body lotion. The newly launched TVC featuring Kriti Sanon emphasises the importance of the two main desi ingredients, honey, and almonds in skincare products.

Bengali actor Mimi Chakraborty will be seen endorsing the same campaign, targeted at the Bengal market.

With this campaign, Joy Personal Care highlights the need for embracing desi ingredients and not looking at the West for answers to personal care needs. It aims to break the stereotype that products with ingredients from the west are of superior quality. Indians have a specific skin type that is accustomed to Indian weather conditions. Hence, relying on ingredients sourced from our own country is not only best suited for the Indian skin but is also highly nourishing in nature.

RSH Global chief marketing officer Poulomi Roy said, “Honey and Almonds hold a special place in Indian culture and households due to their immediate relation with ‘nourishment.’ Through this campaign, we break another stereotype that exists in beauty and personal care - 'not everything exotic and westernised is superior for the skin'. As the movement for supporting local products and ingredients gains more momentum by the day, we believe our audiences will resonate with the idea.”

“With the winter season just around the corner, our skincare routine and product with nourishing components becomes an important consideration. Two such ultimate desi ingredients that stand for purity, nourishment and are intrinsic to every Indian are honey and almonds,” said Sanon.

RSH Global chairman Sunil Agarwal said, “Honey & Almonds body lotion is our flagship product and is loved by our customers as well. Kriti and Mimi are beloved faces in their industries and will help us drive the message of using desi ingredients. With life returning back to normalcy, we are expecting demand to be strong in this category during the upcoming winter season.”
