I have a post graduate degree in marketing (okay diploma,
but most people don’t know it) (Now you do!) so I understand the basic premise
here. Still every time I see a commercial for yet another personal care
product, I cannot help but admire the tenacity of this breed to come up with
such a staggering array of seemingly beneficial but only designed to make you
sadder products.
So in a sarcastic take (is it really sarcasm if I already
tell you it is sarcastic?) on my own profession, I am attempting to make a well
researched list of beauty products available in the Indian market today so that
every Indian can make an informed choice. See how patriotic I am!!
(Disclaimer: I will not be revealing my sources for anything
and am not guaranteeing any factual accuracy here. In any case, the chances of
harm befalling you if you made your informed choice based on this possibly erroneous
list is not much higher than if you had blindly picked one, so win-win for
everybody
Also, this is by no means an exhaustive list but only an
indicative one. No spoonfeeding, do your own research. I will be sticking
mainly to popular brands or at best lesser known brands of well known corporate
brands)
List 1: If you have hair
Already bored so stopping here for now. This should be
enough choice for all living beings on earth with hair as per my opinion, but
there are atleast 100 options more on my first source only. And that’s just
shampoos. There are conditioners, softeners, colour products et al. Who knew
hair could be the source of so much money!
And that’s just hair. Unfortunately for us humans, we have a
face, skin, hands, legs, sensitive areas (!!) to also contend with. And more
products in each of these ranges. The
series will continue. Feel free to add more options in shampoo in the comments.
Will continue the series the next time I set to blog, which will definitely be
before the end of this decade for sure. Adios
