Maison D’ Auraine, a conglomerate in the beauty and wellness industry, has redefined the concept of beauty by blending science and innovation. Established in 2014 by Arpit Jain, Maison D’ Auraine has quickly risen to become a dominant player in India's premium luxury beauty segment. The brand's vision revolves around empowering individuals to embrace their authentic selves, offering high-quality products crafted with impeccable formulations that are both sustainable and scientifically advanced.
A Vision to Transform Beauty in India
Arpit Jain, the Founder and MD of Maison D’ Auraine, shares his inspiration behind the brand's inception, states "Throughout my college days, I traveled extensively and observed the lack of luxury and scientifically-oriented beauty brands in India. With a vision to bring the highest quality of premium hair care and beauty products to the country, we launched Maison D’ Auraine – a brand that would become the go-to choice for consumers seeking hair, beauty, and personal care excellence."
The brand’s vision aligns perfectly with India's beauty boom, driven by the country's large young population and rising disposable income. It further aims to position India as a global beauty destination, attracting leading international brands to establish a base in the country.
Shifting Consumer Behavior
Arpit points out, "Consumer behavior has evolved significantly, influenced by social media, ingredient knowledge, and sustainability concerns. Social media platforms like Instagram and YouTube have exposed customers to beauty trends and product recommendations, shaping their purchasing decisions."
He further emphasizes the growing demand for transparency and sustainability as consumers are more conscious of the ingredients they use and seek natural, organic, and clean beauty options. Sustainability has become a key driver, with a focus on eco-friendly packaging and ethical sourcing.
The brand's commitment to sustainability is evident through its upcoming brand launch – Keune Haircosmetics. "Keune's approach to sustainability aligns perfectly with our values. We aim to reduce our environmental impact and promote clean beauty practices," Arpit reveals.
