Are you falling for greenwashed skincare? In this video, beauty entrepreneur and founder of House of Beauty India and Face Yoga School, Vibhuti Arora, breaks down the truths behind your skincare labels.
From the misleading use of the word ‘organic’ to the hidden toxins in everyday sunscreens, Vibhuti takes you through the common traps consumers fall into and how to make smarter, safer beauty choices. She explains how certain ingredients like avobenzone and oxybenzone, often found in ‘organic’ sunscreens, are actually chemical UV filters with potential toxic effects, and how zinc oxide and titanium dioxide can offer real results without the risk.
You’ll also learn how to:
Read and decode skincare ingredient labels
Understand what terms like “humectant,” “active,” and “olfactory agent” really mean
Identify greenwashing tactics on skincare products
Choose safer, natural alternatives like walnut shell scrubs, zinc oxide filters, and willow bark-based salicylic acid
Navigate through synthetic vs natural bases (Shea butter vs petroleum/mineral oil)
At House of Beauty, everything is thoughtfully formulated with plant-based, biodegradable, and non-toxic ingredients. Vibhuti shares top products like the Instant Filler Peptide Sunscreen and Revinage Night Cream, and why they’re changing the clean beauty game in India.
