Innovation

At Juicy Chemistry(JC), sustainability spans from ingredient sourcing to packaging to product end-of-life. According to Pritesh, Juicy Chemistry ethically sources organic ingredients from farms globally to create natural, handmade skin and hair care products - delivering “soil-to-shelf” goodness and makes sure that all the ingredients are freshly "sourced from the source".

But JC looks beyond the shelf as well. All JC packaging is eco-friendly, sustainable and recyclable so products can return safety to the soil after use. Taking this further, JC has partnered with The Disposal Co. to implement plastic neutral and plastic positive initiatives. By recycling more plastic than it consumes, JC is eliminating its plastic footprint and is a plastic neutral company.

Inspiration

Pritesh and Megha's journey to founding Juicy Chemistry shows how powerful questioning the status quo can be. "Most of the products we saw on the commercial shelf were far away from being natural and that sort of motivated us to find answers". After struggling for years to find skincare solutions for Megha's sensitive skin, they realised that even so-called "organic" products were full of refined petrochemicals. This sparked a relentless curiosity in the couple - if the answer wasn't in conventional products labeled as "natural," where was it? Pritesh and Megha discovered more potent answers from ingredients sourced straight from nature itself. Their inspiration was that simply asking "why" and rethinking assumptions could completely transform personal care. Driven by Megha's personal skin revelations and a conviction that the Earth provides what we need if we know how to source it responsibly, Pritesh and Megha founded Juicy Chemistry. Their story is a motivating reminder that heartfelt questioning and a willingness to think differently can challenge norms, fuel innovation, and lead to more efficacious solutions rooted in what nature does best.
