crushing parle g & dreaming in castor oil: a founder throwback

before clean beauty there were biscuits

this was me in 1997 crushing parle g biscuits not formulas. i wasn’t thinking about castor oil or brow growth i was just soaking in the culture that would one day shape my beauty brand. this moment is the heart of the traditional indian brow oil ritual i would later bring to life.

indian rituals passed down

my mom would massage almond and castor oils into our hair every weekend. it was soothing intimate sacred. i didn’t know it then but these hair oiling rituals rooted in indian beauty tradition would become the foundation for a natural brow oil made for nourishment and growth.

from hair oiling to natural brow oil

i created halva beauty’s nourishing brow oil as a modern extension of those rituals. it blends organic castor oil sweet almond oil and babassu oil with moringa oil and sweet orange oil for a clean botanical formula. no harsh chemicals no fillers. it is one of the best natural oils to help grow and nourish eyebrows especially for thin or over plucked brows.


the story behind every swipe

this photo is a reminder: before the packaging and the shopify site there was just a girl her culture and a biscuit. halva beauty is about going back to those roots while growing something new. it is a brow care ritual inspired by tradition designed for softness fullness and daily nourishment.
