MAMAEARTH & FEMINA REDEFINE BEAUTY WITH BEAUTIFUL INDIANS
Giving beauty its true meaning and celebrating beautiful Indians for their goodness
GURUGRAM, India, March 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Mamaearth, a purpose-driven brand deeply rooted in the philosophy of Goodness Inside announced Beautiful Indians, a property established to celebrate the most beautiful Indians. Mamaearth has collaborated with FEMINA, a magazine that has established itself as the beacon of beauty.
Beauty, over the years have become a reference to one’s external features. However, more often that we realise, the ones we truly regard beautiful are not people with the best physical facets, instead these are people who have extended a helping hand to us or to the ones around us in challenging situations. Realising that it is these small acts of goodness that truly uplifts the ones around us and make us truly beautiful, the brand announced Beautiful Indians, presented by Mamaearth and Femina. The initiative is a nationwide initiative to recognize and celebrate the unsung goodness ambassadors for their good deeds.
Through this initiative, Mamaearth and Femina have launched a platform to invite nominations by sharing stories of small acts of goodness. Nominations can be by individuals nominating themselves or someone they know who has selflessly been doing acts of goodness for those around them. They need to come to the www.femina.in/mamaearth-beautiful-indians-2022 and share the goodness stories. The countrywide search of goodness stories will culminate at an event where these Beautiful Indians will be felicitated for their beauty in deed.
A brand established on the founding principles of Honesty, Natural and Safety, Mamaearth believes that goodness starts with the small things that each one of us can do every day. It resides in the little choices we can make in our daily lives. The brand added goodness inside their products by being animal cruelty free (PETA certified), toxin free, plastic positive and through the plant goodness initiative. It was time to celebrate goodness inside others by celebrating the Beautiful Indians.
As it seeks out inspiring stories that make the world a better place, one good action at a time, Beautiful Indians, presented by Mamaearth and Femina, is a natural progression for these two brands.
Commenting on the initiative, Ghazal Alagh, Co-founder and Chief Innovation Officer, Mamaearth, said, “People don’t remember us for our looks or clothes, they remember us for how we make them feel or how we helped them through a situation. Understanding that goodness is what we look for around us, we built Mamaearth on the philosophy of Goodness Inside, where we are not juts adding goodness to our products but are also adding goodness to the world through our initiatives. While we made our products good with no-toxins, we did good for the environment through plant goodness and plastic positive initiatives, it was time we celebrated goodness in our fellow humans, and that’s how the thought of Beautiful Indians came to being. We are thrilled to celebrate the most Beautiful Indians who have made their mark in the world through the beauty in their deeds and we are excited about the stories that will surface through this nationwide search. We urge every Indian to do good and celebrate the beauty of others with Beautiful Indians.”
Commenting on the initiative, Ambika Muttoo, Editor-in-Chief, FEMINA said, “We are delighted to partner with Mamaearth, a brand which shares the same values as us. In tough times, good deeds are crucial in instilling faith and hope amongst people. Through this initiative, we want to bring forward inspiring stories that encourage people to be more compassionate.”
