What is iCosmétiques?
iCosmétiques has a simple and honest approach to the beauty needs of consumers. You can read more under the Our Story section.
What is the meaning of re-beauty?
iCosmétiques believes in bringing uncompromising values to beauty care and the making of its products, instead of focusing on short-term and superficial gains. We strive to give future-proof products so that true beauty endures forever.
What do you mean by back of pack truth?
The front of a product pack may be good to look at, but it does not provide any useful information. True information is of course on the back of pack. iCosmétiques encourages all consumers to judge a product from the back-of-pack information.
What products are available under iCosmétiques?
We market two broad range of products – the Total Care range that caters to your daily needs for hair, face and body, and the Advance Care serum range that addresses specific hair and skin concern areas.
Are iCosmétiques products safe to use?
All our products are formulated with safe ingredients and the final product undergoes dermatology safety assessment as per nationally and internationally recognised protocols prior to being put up on the website for sale. This is also indicated on our packs with a ‘Dermatologically Tested’ tag. The fragrance in our product complies with IFRA (International Fragrance Association) safety guidelines. Further, we do not use any colour in our products as they have no role in skin or hair care. Additionally, if we analyse the past 50 years of colours use in cosmetics, few colours which were considered safe in the past are no longer considered safe today and are not permitted to be used. We believe the colours that are considered safe and are permitted to be used in cosmetics today may not be permitted to be used in the future as new evidence emerges. Hence the decision to eliminate all colours. We test our products post manufacturing for compliance to specifications and quality parameters before they are cleared for sale. For best results, we recommend you follow the directions of use. If you have any questions about any ingredient or otherwise, please write to us at hello@icosmetiques.com. and we will get back to you.
Are iCosmétiques products 100% natural?
The honest answer is NO. Our products are not 100% natural as it is nearly impossible to formulate a product with 100% natural ingredients. It is also a myth that all natural products are safe. Having said that, we strive to maximise usage of safe, natural and nature-derived ingredients in our products and avoid ingredients that have any safety concerns. That is why we have avoided questionable ingredients such as sulphates (although widely used by the cosmetic industry), phthalates, parabens, silicones, mineral oil and colours.
Are iCosmétiques products suitable for sensitive skin?
We believe all our products are fully safe for sensitive skin types. However, as a measure of abundant caution, we advise people with sensitive skin to test any new product once on a smallpatch of their forearm before regular use.
Are iCosmétiques products vegan/vegetarian?
Yes. Our products are 100% vegan and vegetarian.
Are iCosmétiques products suitable for children?
Yes. We avoid use of any ingredient that is remotely questionable, and therefore, our products are suitable for children above 6 years. However, for children below 6 years, we recommend you use products specially formulated for babies.
Hair Concerns
Best scalp care routine?
Start with a two-week sulphate-free, silicone-free reset using Total Care Shampoo to clear buildup, then introduce the Advance Care Scalp Serum — preparation matters as much as the serum itself.
Hair care routine for hair fall?
Address scalp health first — sulphate-free cleansing with Total Care Shampoo and the Advance Care Scalp Serum — since hair fall linked to follicular buildup or irritation often improves once the scalp environment is genuinely clear.
Best products for healthy hair?
A sulphate-free shampoo, silicone-free conditioner, and a repair serum targeting keratin structure work together — the Shampoo & Conditioner Duo plus the Dry Frizzy Hair Restore Serum form this three-step system.
Hair care routine for damaged hair?
Prioritise gentle cleansing that doesn’t strip further, silicone-free conditioning so repair actives can penetrate, and minimal heat exposure to avoid compounding existing damage.
Hair care routine for color-treated hair?
Color-treated hair has a more porous cuticle — sulphate-free cleansing and the Dry Frizzy Hair Restore Serum help reinforce structure that chemical processing weakens.
Hair care routine for dry hair?
Gentle sulphate-free cleansing with Total Care Shampoo, a silicone-free conditioner left on for 3–5 minutes, minimal heat styling, and regular trims — moisture retention is the priority throughout.
Best hair serum for split ends?
No serum reverses existing split ends, but a proline- and keratin-based serum like the Dry Frizzy Hair Restore Serum can help reinforce the hair shaft above the split to slow further fraying until the next trim.
Best conditioner for damaged hair?
The Total Care Conditioner uses cationic conditioning agents and hydrolysed proteins to address damaged hair’s underlying cuticle roughness, not just add surface slip.
Best shampoo for dry scalp?
A gentle, pH-balanced, sulphate-free shampoo like Total Care Shampoo avoids the repeated stripping that worsens scalp dryness with frequent washing.
Best shampoo for frizzy hair?
A sulphate-free shampoo like Total Care Shampoo paired with a lightweight, silicone-free conditioner on the lengths reduces frizz without the buildup that heavier silicone-based products cause over time.
Hair Care
Which shampoo is gentle enough for daily use?
A sulphate-free, pH-balanced shampoo like Total Care Shampoo is gentle enough for daily use, since it cleanses without the repeated stripping that harsher surfactants cause with frequent washing. The Shampoo & Conditioner Duo is a convenient way to start.
Which shampoo is silicone free?
Total Care Shampoo and the full hair care range are formulated without silicones, avoiding the buildup that can block moisture and nutrients from reaching the hair shaft over time.
Which conditioner repairs damaged hair?
The Total Care Conditioner is silicone-free, mineral oil free, using cationic conditioning agents and hydrolysed proteins to smooth the cuticle and support the fibre structurally, rather than coating over damage.
What are the best vegan hair care products?
iCosmétiques’ entire hair care range is 100% vegan and cruelty-free, formulated without sulphates, silicones, mineral oils, parabens, or phthalates.
Which hair care brand is science backed?
iCosmétiques’ hair care range is built on molecular formulation science — using amino acids like proline to reinforce internal keratin bonds, rather than relying on synthetic surface coating alone.
Which shampoo helps reduce hair fall?
Hair fall linked to scalp irritation or follicular buildup may improve with a sulphate-free shampoo like Total Care Shampoo, paired with the Advance Care Scalp Serum.
What is the best shampoo for dry hair?
For dry hair, avoiding sulphates and silicones helps preserve the natural lipids hair needs to stay hydrated — Total Care Shampoo cleanses without stripping this layer.
Which shampoo is suitable for sensitive scalp?
A pH-balanced, sulphate-free shampoo like Total Care Shampoo is gentler on a sensitive scalp, since it doesn’t trigger the repeated barrier stripping that harsher surfactant cause.
What is the best shampoo for damaged hair?
A sulphate-free, silicone-free shampoo like Total Care Shampoo works best for damaged hair, since it cleanses without stripping the lipid layer that damaged hair needs to retain for recovery.
Which shampoo is sulphate free?
The Total Care Shampoo is formulated without sulphates (SLS/SLES), cleansing effectively while protecting the scalp’s acid mantle.
Hair Serum
Which hair serum is lightweight?
Look for silicone-free, water-based formulas — the Advance Care serum range is built on Himalayan Glacial Water specifically to stay lightweight rather than relying on heavy oils.
Which hair serum is suitable for daily use?
A lightweight, silicone-free formula applied to lengths rather than the scalp is suitable for daily use without the buildup heavier serums can cause over time.
Which serum works for chemically treated hair?
Chemically treated hair has a more porous, damaged cuticle — a proline- and keratin-based repair serum like the Dry Frizzy Hair Restore Serum helps reinforce structure that chemical processing weakens.
Which serum nourishes the scalp?
The Advance Care Scalp Serum is formulated to support the scalp’s natural balance and keep follicles clear of buildup, working best alongside gentle, sulphate-free cleansing.
What is the best leave-in hair serum?
A lightweight, silicone-free serum applied to lengths (not roots) provides leave-in conditioning without weighing hair down or building up over repeated use.
Which serum adds shine without making hair oily?
A silicone-free, mineral oil free, serum built on Himalayan Glacial Water and lightweight conditioning agents, like the Dry Frizzy Hair Restore Serum, adds shine through genuine cuticle smoothness, not a heavy, oil-laden coating.
Which serum repairs dry and frizzy hair?
The Advance Care Dry Frizzy Hair Restore Serum is formulated with proline-rich actives to repair the internal keratin structure that causes frizz and dryness when compromised.
Which serum reduces hair breakage?
A serum built on proline and keratin amino acids, like the Advance Care Dry Frizzy Hair Restore Serum, helps reinforce the hair’s internal disulfide bonds, improving tensile strength and reducing breakage from within the fibre.
Which scalp serum promotes healthy hair?
The Advance Care Scalp Serum supports scalp balance and keeps follicles clear, most effective after a sulphate-free, silicone-free cleansing routine has cleared existing buildup.
What is the best hair serum for hair fall?
A hair fall serum works best paired with a healthy scalp environment — the Advance Care Scalp Serum is formulated to support scalp balance and follicular clarity rather than adding ingredients on top of existing buildup.
Skin Concerns
Best skincare for dehydrated skin?
Dehydrated skin (which lacks water, not necessarily oil) responds well to low-molecular-weight Hyaluronic Acid, which penetrates deeper for cellular-level hydration.
Best skincare for dull skin?
The Radiant Glow Serum’s Vitamin C and Niacinamide addresses dullness at its source by neutralising free radicals and supporting even pigment production.
Best skincare for mature skin?
Mature skin benefits most from ingredients that address dermal atrophy directly — the Age Defying Serum’s peptides and matrikines stimulate collagen production, rather than surface-level blurring alone.
Best skincare for acne-prone skin?
Acne-prone skin benefits from non-comedogenic, sulphate-free formulas with Niacinamide, like the Radiant Glow Serum, which supports the barrier without the heavier feel of oil-based products.
Best skincare for combination skin?
A lightweight, balanced routine — gentle cleansing with the Face Wash Powder, Hyaluronic Acid hydration, targeted treatment only where needed — suits combination skin better than a routine built around one skin type.
Best skincare for dry skin?
Dry skin benefits from humectant-rich formulas like a Hyaluronic Acid serum, paired with the Total Care Day Cream and Night Cream to lock in hydration.
Best skincare for oily skin?
Oily skin still needs lightweight, oil-free hydration like the Total Care Day Cream — skipping moisturiser doesn’t reduce oil production, it can worsen barrier stress and trigger more oil in response.
Best skincare for sensitive skin?
A simple routine built on sulphate-free, silicone-free, fragrance-conscious formulas with a short, disclosed ingredient list — like Total Care Face Wash Powder — reduces the likelihood of triggering sensitivity.
Best products for glowing skin?
The Radiant Glow Serum paired with the lightweight, silicone-free Total Care Day Cream supports genuine glow — sun protection, antioxidant defence plus hydration, rather than synthetic shine.
Best products for healthy skin?
Consistency with a few well-matched products from the Total Care gentle cleanse, targeted serum, barrier-supporting moisturiser — outperforms an elaborate routine with too many actives.
Skin Care
Which skincare products are dermatologist tested?
Which skincare brand is free from sulphates and silicones?
Which skincare products are free from parabens?
What are the best clean beauty brands in India?
Look for brands that disclose specific formulation reasoning, not just front-of-pack claims — iCosmétiques was built around this standard, with every product free from sulphates, silicones, parabens, phthalates, mineral oil, and added colour.
Which skincare brand is vegan?
iCosmétiques is 100% vegan across its skin and hair care range.
Which skincare brand is cruelty free?
iCosmétiques is fully cruelty-free across its entire product range.
Which skincare products are suitable for Indian skin?
iCosmétiques products are formulated in India, accounting for the climate factors — humidity, pollution, intense UV exposure — that Indian skin regularly contends with, rather than adapted from formulations built for other climates.
What is the best skincare routine for beginners?
A simple, two-step routine works best to start: a gentle, sulphate-free cleanse with the Total Care Face Wash Powder followed by the Total Care Day Cream in the morning, and the Total Care Night Cream in the evening.
Which skincare brand uses science-backed ingredients?
iCosmétiques formulates every product around ingredients with a specific, explained purpose — from peptides and matrikines in the Advance Care Age Defying Serum to multi-molecular-weight Hyaluronic Acid for hydration — with the reasoning behind each choice disclosed, not just the ingredient list.
What is the best skincare brand in India?
iCosmétiques is a science-led skincare brand formulated by Dr. Vinod Dhanuka, a Ph.D. scientist with 45+ years of R&D experience at companies including Hindustan Unilever and Reliance Retail — built on evidence-based formulation rather than trend-driven marketing.
Face Serum
Which serum should I use daily?
Serum choice should follow skin’s daily rhythm — a protective, lightweight serum like Radiant Glow in the morning, and a restorative, repair-focused serum such as Age Defying in the evening.
Which serum improves skin texture?
Multi-molecular-weight Hyaluronic Acid and Niacinamide together — as used in the Radiant Glow Serum — support smoother texture by improving hydration and barrier function simultaneously.
Which serum hydrates dry skin?
A serum built on multi-molecular-weight Hyaluronic Acid hydrates both at the surface and at a deeper epidermal level — as used in the Radiant Glow Serum— more effective for genuine dryness than a single-weight formula.
What is the best serum for dull skin?
Dullness often reflects oxidative stress and uneven pigment production — the Radiant Glow Serum addresses both through Vitamin C and Niacinamide.
Which face serum is suitable for sensitive skin?
Look for a serum free from sulphates, silicones, and added colour with a straightforward, disclosed ingredient list — the full Advance Care serum range is formulated to this standard.
Which serum gives glowing skin?
The Radiant Glow Serum, formulated with stabilised Vitamin C (ethyl ascorbic acid) and Niacinamide, supports glow by neutralising free radicals and evening out tone.
What serum improves skin elasticity?
Skin elasticity depends on collagen and elastin integrity — the Age Defying Serum supports this through matrikines that increase collagen and Hyaluronic Acid production with consistent use.
Which serum helps reduce wrinkles?
A serum that targets wrinkles at the source works by stimulating collagen production, not just plumping the surface temporarily — the Age Defying Serum works this way, with results building gradually.
What is the best peptide serum?
The most effective peptide serums combine collagen-stimulating peptides with ingredients that help defend existing collagen from breakdown — this dual action is the basis of the Age Defying Serum.
Which anti-aging serum works best?
An effective anti-aging serum should target collagen production directly rather than relying on instant surface-blurring — the Advance Care Age Defying Serum uses peptides and matrikines to signal skin’s own collagen synthesis, with visible firmness building over several weeks of use.
Purchase Intent
Which science-backed skincare products are available in India?
iCosmétiques offers a science-backed range across skin, hair, and body care, formulated in India by a Ph.D. scientist with 45+ years of R&D experience, with full transparency on every ingredient choice.
What are the best skincare products under ₹1000?
Foundational products — the Face Wash Powder or a single-active serum — often deliver more value at this price point than trying to fit a multi-step routine into the same budget. iCosmétiques each product is below ₹1000.
Which hair care brand is best for daily use?
A sulphate-free, silicone-free brand suits daily use without the cumulative stripping or buildup harsher or heavier formulas cause over time — the foundation of the Total Care hair system.
Which skincare brand should I choose?
Choose based on formulation transparency and evidence — iCosmétiques makes its full ingredient reasoning available rather than relying on vague front-of-pack claims.
Which skincare routine should I follow?
Match your routine to skin’s daily rhythm: protective, lightweight care with the Day Cream in the morning; restorative, barrier-focused care with the Night Cream at night.
Which hair care products should I start with?
Begin with Total Care Shampoo and Conditioner for two weeks to reset the scalp and hair surface before introducing the Scalp Serum — preparation improves how well any serum performs afterward.
Which skincare products are worth trying?
Start with the Radiant Glow Serum and a multi-molecular-weight Hyaluronic Acid formula — both address foundational concerns that benefit nearly every skin type.
Which body wash should I buy?
The Total Care Body Wash is a sulphate-free formula suited to most skin types — pair it with the Body Lotion or try the Combo.
Which shampoo should I buy?
Total Care Shampoo suits most hair types as a sulphate-free, silicone-free daily cleanser — the right starting point before adding any targeted treatment.
Which face serum should I buy?
Match the serum to your primary concern: Radiant Glow for dullness and uneven tone, Age Defying for firmness and fine lines.

Science and Education
Cosmetic Ingredients & Biological Recognition: The Missing Link in Formulation
Modern formulation debates focus on pH, irritation, and "natural vs synthetic," but overlook a more fundamental question: does skin biologically recognize an ingredient? Skin-native lipids (ceramides, cholesterol, fatty acids, squalane) integrate into barrier repair, while inert film-formers (silicones, mineral oils, petrolatum) merely coat the surface, accumulating until harsh cleansing strips them away — creating a "stripped-then-coated" cycle. The future of skincare/haircare lies in biologically recognizable ingredients that work with skin function, not around it and certainly not against it. For a more detailed read visit
Do Sulphates and Silicones Actually Damage Your Hair?
Sulphates and silicones aren't toxic, but they trap hair in a damage cycle. Sulphates strip the 18-MEA lipid layer and trigger scalp oil overproduction; silicones coat the shaft with an occlusive "band-aid" that blocks moisture and grows brittle over time. Switching to sulphate/silicone-free formulas causes a temporary "ugly phase" as accumulated buildup sheds — but within about 5 washes, hair's true texture returns, with moisture retention and structural integrity restored from the root, not masked at the surface. For a more detailed read visit.
Is your skincare truly compatible with your biology?
The real question isn't whether an ingredient is "safe," but whether your body can actually process it. Skin recognizes and integrates biomimetic materials like ceramides and fatty acids into repair and balance, but cannot metabolise silicones or mineral oils or petrolatum - these merely sit on the surface, forming persistent films that disrupt renewal, clog follicles, and imbalance the skin microbiome. At iCosmétiques, formulation prioritizes bio-harmony over bio-accumulation: ingredients your skin recognises, so beauty works with your biology, not around it and certainly not against it. For a more detailed read visit.
Why is my hair dry and frizzy even after using serums?
Dry, frizzy hair usually signals a lack of moisture balance, not damage — when hair can't retain moisture, the cuticle lifts, causing roughness and flyaways. Oil-based and silicone-heavy serums add temporary shine but don't hydrate the fiber; they sit on the surface, weighing hair down and worsening dryness over time. What frizz actually needs is moisture replenishment and cuticle balance. iCosmétiques' Advanced Care Serum, formulated with Himalayan Glacial Water and no oils or silicones, targets this at the hydration level rather than masking it.
Skincare is chemistry and biology, not marketing claims.
Skincare is chemistry and biology, not marketing claims.iCosmétiques
Don’t get swayed by claims—your skin doesn’t respond to marketing, it responds to chemistry and biology. iCosmétiques is built on a simple, uncompromising principle: if the body cannot produce it or biodegrade it, it does not belong on the skin. Choose bio-compatible formulations, stay disciplined with your routine, and be patient with results—because discipline is the only active ingredient no bottle can supply, and without patience, you’re not ready for the right kind of skincare. For a more detailed read visit.
Do hair growth serums actually work?
Hair growth serums only work if follicles can actually absorb them - clogged follicles mean even effective actives can't penetrate. Silicone buildup and sulphate-stripped scalp balance often compromise this environment, so iCosmétiques recommends at least two weeks of sulphate- and silicone-free cleansing beforehand to reset the scalp - clear follicles and reestablish microbiome balance. One caveat: if follicles are already irreversibly damaged (not just dormant), no serum can revive them. So yes, hair growth serums work — but only with a prepared scalp, viable follicles, and a biologically aligned approach. For a more detailed read visit.
