❤ Journey to the East

15 years ago, the mention of India-inspired beauty products would have evoked the heady scents of patchouli oil and sandalwood soap — limited in appeal to the former flower child era and the most ardent of yogis. But today, India has managed to captivate the mainstream beauty industry in a big way. Including West Indian Skincare. Leigh's love for India reflects in her recently launched RAMYA collection. Leigh says 'India has always been an inspiration to me, the sari gowns, traditional Indian colours and fabrics, the olden charm on one end and the opulence of the Maharajas on the other."  In the past we thought makeup was the secret to glowing skin, But today we know that our appearance is actually a window into our day to day nutrition and wellness! The radiance we call ‘beauty’ is a result of diet, fitness and overall health & balance, in addition to the products that fill our cabinets and our makeup bags. This is why we at West Indian Skincare encourage you to put aside your old skincare products and take a little beauty adventure to the east with our Ramya collection. You’ll be coming back feeling sexy, glowing, and not to mention a little more glamorous! 

Packaging Ramya; Deeply rooted in the country's culture and history, Indian design usually features rich textiles and furniture, often handmade using traditional methods and often rich in color, pattern and texture. We decided to use this as our main inspiration in packaging Ramya. We wanted to showcase a 'handmade' look to our labels so we opted to stay away from the glossy look, instead we portrayed a 'shabby chic' effect. Which we just love and hope you would too.

The new beauty brand caters to the tastes of consumers in Trinidad & Tobago, using the full research and development capabilities of the West Indian Skincare company. Ramya’s specialized formulas, for example, contain island plants like aloe vera and hibiscus. Our ambition is for Ramya to be affordable, but aspirational.

So, join us on our journey to the East!
