While honey helps soothe and moisturize the skin, besan gently lifts impurities and excess oil, and Kojic works to lighten pigmentation, together creating a powerful blend for visible brightness and clarity. This potent trio not only targets dullness at the root but also boosts the skin’s natural radiance. Dermatologically tested, the product is suitable for all skin types and ideal for regular weekly use.
Commenting on the launch, Mr. Rajat Nanda, Business Head – Personal Care, CavinKare, said,
“Glow has always been at the heart of Spinz’s skincare proposition.

The segment presents immense potential, driven by rising skincare awareness, self-care trends and a strong preference for salon-like results at home. This launch not only strengthens our skincare portfolio but also reinforces Spinz’s commitment to making high-performance glow care accessible to all.”
