As awareness goes up, so does the rise in vegan and paraben-free brands in India. You're probably wondering what sets these apart from most others? We've narrowed the list down to brands that are just like Plum Goodness.

The Mumbai-based vegan and toxin-free brand believes in offering products that are good for your skin and the environment. Another big value that Plum holds close is the promise to not create fairness creams or any product that promotes that your natural skin tone isn't good enough. But what we absolutely love about Plum Goodness is how you can shop as per your skin concern and skin type, and also as per particular ingredients. Additionally, their #Empties4Good initiative collects and recycles your used Plum plastic containers!

Check out more brands that offer quality beauty products and for who paraben-free and vegan are not just buzzwords.

Each range embodies the goodness and appeal of the element that inspired it. Just like Plum Goodness, all products by The Nature's Co are PETA-certified, made with natural ingredients and come in recyclable packaging. As the brand has been around for quite a while, it's not surprising that they do a great job of ensuring each product is aligned to their value.

Fruit and nut extracts, essential oils and aroma derived from natural materials; that's what Alanna is all about.

That's why this brand is quite like Plum Goodness; but it goes a step further and ensures there's no use of plastic anywhere in the process from packaging to shipping the product to you. The main USP of the brand is the use of mushroom in its products. Several from their range have them, as the brand understands that mushrooms are like an elixir.
