Pilgrim, Plum, Minimalist, Mamaearth combined now exceed L'Oreal India in revenue. The shift is structural.

Combined revenue of the top Indian D2C beauty brands — Pilgrim, Plum, Minimalist, Mamaearth, MCaffeine, Wow — crossed L'Oreal India in 2025. The shift is structural: Indian consumers trust ingredient-transparent, locally-formulated, accessibly-priced brands more than imported legacy ones for daily-use products. The winners share three traits: dermatologist-led product development, transparent ingredient lists, and pricing in the ₹400-1500 sweet spot for premium-feel but accessibly-priced products. The next 24 months will see further consolidation as the top 4-5 D2C beauty brands acquire the smaller ones to fill SKU gaps.
