THE GLOBAL FACE OF AYURVEDA

Herbal beauty and Ayurveda's leading lady, Shahnaz Husain on building a legacy brand.

How did The Shahnaz Husain Group of Companies grow to become a household name?

It all began in 1977, when I converted the verandah of my house into a therapeutic clinic. I introduced the concept of "Care and Cure", alongside formulating Ayurvedic beauty and wellness products. Clients began approaching me for personalised skincare solutions and I offered them hand-blended, herbal concoctions with floral extracts and potent essential oils designed to target the root cause of their diagnosis.

My Ayurvedic practice began gaining momentum by word of mouth, appealing to those seeking result-oriented solutions... and the rest, as they say, is history. The Shahnaz Husain Group has developed over 380 Ayurvedic products for beauty and healthcare, with a global network of franchise salons, retail outlets, and beauty training academies. Having won several prestigious international awards for brand influence, my products have also received Quality Excellence Awards in London, Geneva, Cannes, Paris, and New York.

Today, there is a growing demand for organic and Ayurvedic beauty products. How do you view this shift in consumer preference?
