Himalaya Wellness, a leading brand in the Indian skincare market, hosted its inaugural “The World of Neem” event at Taj Lands End, ahead of Pimple Acne Positivity Day. The event aimed to spark a conversation around skincare and confidence, particularly among young Indians who struggle with pimples and acne. According to a recent survey, nearly 4 in 5 young Indians report that pimples and acne make them feel less confident in social settings, with over 20 crore teenagers and young adults affected by the condition.
The event featured an interactive panel discussion on pimple and skin confidence, led by Dr. Rashmi Shetty, a renowned dermatologist, and celebrity voice Nitanshi Goel, who shared her personal skin stories and encouraged young audiences to embrace their skin with positivity and pride. Himalaya also showcased the evolution of its Neem Face Wash, now fortified with a unique 5-parts of Neem formulation for enhanced pimple care.
The brand’s executives, including Rajesh Krishnamurthy, Business Director, and Ragini Hariharan, Marketing Director, emphasized the importance of gentle, effective, and stigma-free skincare. They highlighted the growing trend among Gen Z towards solutions that are both inspired by nature and science-backed, and how Neem, trusted for generations, continues to remain relevant in shaping meaningful change in beauty and personal care.
The event also marked the launch of a school program that aims to reach 5 lakh+ students, educating them about pimple positivity and effective methods of dealing with pimples. Himalaya Wellness aims to spark a nationwide conversation around breaking skincare stigma and encouraging young people to embrace a healthier, more holistic approach to skincare.
Dr. Rashmi Shetty, Skin Specialist and Celebrity Dermatologist, emphasized the importance of using Neem in the right way, saying, “Neem has been trusted for generations in India for its powerful antibacterial and soothing properties. When used in harmony with the skin, it offers care that is gentle, effective, and science-backed.” By hosting this initiative, Himalaya Wellness aims to empower young people to feel confident in their own skin and promote a positive body image. With its rich heritage and expertise in Neem-based solutions, Himalaya Wellness is well-positioned to lead this conversation and make a meaningful impact on the lives of young Indians.
