Mumbai/Dubai, October 7, 2026: Indian skin longevity brand Karmic Beauty was recognised with the Entrepreneurial AlSeha Award at the Global Longevity Summit 2026 in Dubai, where it showcased its research-led approach to regenerative dermatology, skin-barrier health, and long-term skin resilience.
Founder and CEO Dr. Vaibhav Mittal and Co-founder Komal Mittal represented Karmic Beauty at the summit, participating in the panel “Beyond Anti-Aging: Regenerative Dermatology and the New Era of Skin Longevity.” The event highlighted the brand’s focus on formulation science and building skin resilience, drawing international attention to India’s growing science-led beauty sector.
Indian beauty market growth
The recognition comes as India’s beauty and personal care (BPC) market is projected to reach $40 billion by 2030, according to Redseer Strategy Consultant, making it the fourth-largest BPC market globally. Karmic Beauty’s participation at the summit reflects the sector’s shift from traditional anti-aging products to preventive skincare and long-term biological health.
Research insights and product development
Karmic Beauty’s proprietary R&D platform, The Lab of Skin Longevity™, analysed data from 12,000 consumer interactions and 10,000 product reviews, finding that over 65% of Indian respondents reported skin barrier sensitivity—often linked to layering multiple single-active products without proper formulation synergy. The brand’s R&D framework emphasises multi-pathway formulations to address environmental exposure, UV radiation, and barrier depletion, rather than complex multi-step routines.
During the Dubai showcase, Karmic Beauty also began discussions with international healthcare and longevity specialists for potential collaborative research on healthspan science and everyday skin health.
Industry perspectives and product highlights
The brand’s Mattifying Hydra All-Day Cream and Skin Longevity serum were featured as examples of its approach to multi-pathway skin longevity formulations. International professionals, including Dr. Hasia, Founder of Doctors Dose and an aesthetic dermatologist in the UAE, noted the alcohol-free formulations and textures in the LONGÈVE BLEND™ range, while skincare educator Nipun Kapur Sohal highlighted the silicone-free textures and use of rosemary water as a base.
“The first wave of Indian D2C beauty was built around single-ingredient trends. We are moving from an ingredient economy to a biology economy, where formulation literacy and long-term resilience will define the next phase of the category,” said Dr. Vaibhav Mittal, Founder & CEO, Karmic Beauty.
Global ambitions for Indian beauty science
Dr. Mittal added that India has the opportunity not only to participate in the next global beauty category but to help shape it, with Karmic Beauty aiming to bring a science-led Indian perspective to international conversations on skin longevity.
Karmic Beauty’s portfolio includes skincare, scalp care, and haircare products, all grounded in its Skin Longevity approach. The brand has previously been recognised by Forbes India, Startup India, and other industry platforms.
